The patient was a 29 year old mother of 2 Black female, presenting to the office with the request for a breast lift and an abdominoplasty. She excises regularly, not able to achive flat stomach. She wants a mastopexy, not interested in having implants. Examination was notable for post partum deflation and ptosis of the breasts. She has a moderate degree of laxity of the abdominal wall with a umbilical hernia. A bilateral mastopexy was done with an inferior pedicle technique. Dr. Hankins is able to lift her breast tissue and attached it to her upper chest wall to give more upper pole fullness. The result achieved by breast lift only with no implants. A lipoabdominoplasty was performed on the abdomen. Although she did not have much fat to remove, the majority of the dissection of the abdomen was done with liposuction only, sparing the blood supply to the abdominal wall. 3 finger wide diastasis recti was closed with a double layer repair. Umbilical hernia repaired by a genral surgeon at the same time. All excess skin was successfully removed and a new natual looking belly button was created. She is extremly happy with her result, have referred us several of her friends.
