An abdominoplasty is an option for patients wishing to remove loose, excess skin and fat. It can repair diastasis recti— a stomach bulge often caused by separated abdominal muscles (many women who have carried a child will have a degree of diastasis- recti). A tummy tuck may also remove stretch marks and further excess skin below the belly button, and reposition your belly button.

An abdominoplasty isn’t the best option for all patients. Your plastic surgeon might refuse to offer you a tummy tuck surgery if you:
* Are not at your goal weight, losing more weight after surgery will effect your results
* Are planning for more children.
* Have an unstable medical condition, like heart disease or diabetes.
* Cannot safely be bridged off of blood thinners.
* Have a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or higher.
* Smoke or v**e ni****ne
* Had previous abdominal surgeries that caused scar tissue.

Not just Dr. Brooks’ guidelines for surgical candidates. Do your research.

This lovely patient is thrilled with the more evenly balanced result of her bilateral breast reduction. 580g of breast tissue was removed from her left breast and 440g from the right for a total of just over 1kg.

Fun fact: a kilogram is almost equal to the mass of 1000 cubic cm of water or 1 liter of water. 1 litre less of water to weigh you down every day must feel like such a relief!

If you are considering a referral for a breast reduction please watch the video on our website to be sure you know what this surgery entails. You can find the link soon in our bio or at drtrevorbrooks.ca under reconstructive surgery.

This gentleman has allowed us to use his forehead photo to remind everyone of the importance of sun safety (hats, reapplying SPF 30+ hourly, avoiding highest UV index times of the day) and watching your skin for any signs of changes.

This was a lesion that he told his family doctor had been slowly growing over the course of a year. It would crust, bleed and was itchy.

He saw Dr. Brooks for an excision and his pathology showed it was a type of skin cancer called a Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

If you catch these changing lesions early on, the size of your surgical site can result in a smaller scar. The size of this lesion meant that Dr. Brooks needed to use an advancement flap called an H-Flap.

This patient had 5 previous breast surgeries from 3 different surgeons, and she was officially done 🙅🏻‍♀️with implants. She wanted them out because they were causing her pain, and potentially causing other symptoms.

I explained that due to the 5 previous surgeries I wouldn’t know exactly what I was getting into until I could see the anatomy during surgery.

She understood that with her implants out, she would be left with a bit of a deflated appearance and to correct that her ni***es would need to be re-elevated and the excess skin and tissue removed.

Revisionary surgeries are always more difficult, and this surgery was no exception. Her pain was alleviated and we achieved a more balanced result. Her scars will continue to improve in appearance & will lighten over the course of the year after surgery.

Her shoulders are back, her head is held high, she is confident and more importantly, relieved.

At the consultation it is hard to imagine the lighter feeling you will have after having 300g or more of breast tissue per side removed during a breast reduction surgery.

If this is a procedure you are looking towards booking, please remember it is important to be in your best health even before booking your consultation.

Dr. Brooks will insist you to be at a BMI (body mass index) of under 30, stop smoking/vaping, and disclose all vitamins, medications, allergies and complete a full health history.

A video of what is discussed in a breast reduction consultation is available on our website drtrevorbrooks.ca

This patient’s incredible after photo was accomplished through hard work. When patients commit to reaching and maintaining their goal weight before surgery it shows they have made a promise to themselves to get the best result possible.

This patient had an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation, also known as a mommy makeover. Over 1kg of tissue was removed during surgery and mentor SHPX-450 implants gave her the fullness and projection she wanted.

If you’d like the enhanced contours of a mommy makeover, call and book a consultation. 403-487-0460

This patient had significant breast asymmetry. Our goal was to get her into the same bra size and even out the ni**le placement.
I never promise perfection, remember they are sisters not twins. 😉

We performed a left sided breast reduction removing 435g to balance the size and then did a mastopexy on the right side to bring more balance and symmetry to her shape.

This patient had some post pregnancy weight that she worked hard to lose, but was still unhappy with the appearance of her abdomen due to the residual skin laxity. After our consultation, where we discussed concerns and expectations, she opted to have an abdominoplasty surgery.

Involution of the breast after having children was the reason this patient came for her initial consultation.

I explained that a lift may have helped to raise her ni**le line, but this patient opted for the implants on their own. This is a beautiful result for this patient and she was very pleased with her breast “glow up” transformation.

Implants:
Mentor Smooth Round
Size: 375cc
Projection: High Profile

Revision mastopexies (breast lifts) and reductions pose inherent challenges for me as a surgeon. The procedure becomes even more difficult when operating on a patient who previously had breast surgery done by another doctor. In these cases, I am revising someone else's work which adds complexity.
This was the situation with a patient who initially saw me in 2017 for capsulectomy surgery to remove her 16 year old breast implants.

A few years later, she opted to also have a breast lift, as she was still unhappy with the size and weight as well as the sagging of her breasts, even after the implants had been removed.

Upon review, I felt her original surgeon had positioned the ni***es too close together. Over time, the effects of gravity caused them to become significantly ptotic (droopy) as well. To achieve the desired aesthetic results, I needed to reposition the ni***es laterally by 2 cm and superiorly by 5 cm.
This type of ni**le repositioning places great strain on the already tenuous blood supply to the ni***es. Blood flow can be easily compromised during revisionary lifts. Despite these challenges, the surgery went well overall.

At 3 months post-op, the patient expressed satisfaction with her results. The new ni**le positioning and breast contour addressed her goals, and the surgery was a literal weight off her shoulders. As expected, some settling will still occur over time as she continues to heal.

If your knives are sharp side up, it could lead to an ER visit and a hand surgery with a plastic surgeon, but hey, each to their own. 🤨

Swipe through to check out this incredible tummy transformation!

It's important to note that abdominoplasty surgery (tummy tuck) involves a bikini line incision made horizontally, extending from hip bone to hip bone.

We always strive to place the incision low enough so that it can be covered by most underwear. However, individual anatomical differences or a preference for smaller underwear and bikini bottoms might make this more challenging.

Additionally, a second incision will be made around your belly button. To minimize the appearance of scars, techniques like microneedling or the use of energy devices such as Morpheus 8 can be employed. The showcased results here are from the 3-month follow-up, and the scars will continue to fade over time. However, if the patient would like to expedite the process and achieve their final results sooner, they can revisit us to discuss some of these scar management treatment options.

Want to know if you are a candidate for this surgery? Please don't hesitate to call us at 403-487-0460 to schedule a consultation. We are here to provide you with the information you need!

Please note that the usage of these photos is done with the patient's written consent.

Individual results may vary, and it's always recommended to consult with a medical professional or surgeon for personalized advice and information about any surgical procedures.
