Weight loss changed her size; loose skin remained
This mother of two lost 100 pounds with Mounjaro. Although she had achieved substantial weight loss, significant excess skin remained, with changes in both her abdominal contour and breasts. She sought treatment from Dr. Darren Smith to address those remaining concerns.
What did surgery address after Mounjaro?
Her tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, addressed the excess skin of her abdomen. Weight loss and skin removal serve different purposes: the medication-assisted loss had reduced her body size, while surgery treated the loose skin left behind.
For her breasts, Dr. Smith combined augmentation with a lift. Augmentation addressed volume and the lift addressed sagging, position and shape. The combination was chosen around her breast anatomy and goals.
Her six-month result
The front and angled photographs show her abdominal and breast contours after treatment. They document this patient's outcome following major weight loss; medication use alone does not determine the operation another patient will need.
She is also featured as Mommy Makeover Case 2, with a complementary account of her combined breast and abdominal plan.
