Patient Case #20509

This 42-year-old patient is shown 1 year after her abdominoplasty and mastopexy, performed by Dr. Howard Silverman at Ottawa Plastic Surgery. Her procedure was designed to address abdominal skin laxity, contour changes, and breast ptosis related to pregnancy and weight fluctuation.

An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, can help remove excess abdominal skin and improve the contour of the midsection. A mastopexy, or breast lift, is designed to lift and reshape the breasts by improving nipple position, breast contour, and overall breast proportion. When performed together, an abdominoplasty and mastopexy can be an excellent option for patients seeking improvement in both abdominal contour and breast shape after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.

At 1 year post-op, this patient’s results demonstrate a flatter, more refined abdominal contour, improved breast position, and a lifted, natural-looking breast shape.
