After pregnancy and breastfeeding, Sophie Martin, a Russian patient currently living in Vietnam, experienced excess abdominal skin, breast ptosis, and localized fat accumulation in her upper arms. Following a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Tran Huynh, Specialist Level I (Dr. Felix Tran) at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, she was recommended to undergo a Mommy Makeover—a combination of body contouring procedures designed to restore her overall body proportions.
Following pregnancy and the breastfeeding period, Sophie noticed significant changes in her body. She developed excess, lax abdominal skin, loss of breast volume with sagging, and fat accumulation in the upper arms, all of which affected the overall balance of her body contour.
These changes are commonly observed after childbirth as a result of skin stretching, connective tissue laxity, and changes in breast gland volume. In many cases, diet and exercise may improve body shape to some extent but cannot completely correct excess skin or breast ptosis.
After researching her options, Sophie chose Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, to receive an evaluation and treatment consultation from a plastic surgeon specializing in body contouring.
The consultation and surgical procedures were performed by Dr. Tran Huynh, Specialist Level I (Dr. Felix Tran), Medical Director at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City.
During the consultation, the surgeon evaluated:
Sophie also underwent a comprehensive preoperative assessment, including laboratory tests and medical evaluations, to determine her suitability for general anesthesia and surgery.
After reviewing all clinical findings, the surgeon developed a comprehensive surgical plan combining multiple body contouring procedures during a single operative session to improve her overall physique.
According to her treatment plan, the procedures included:
Note: The specific surgical techniques and procedures are individualized based on each patient’s clinical condition. Not every postpartum patient is an appropriate candidate for multiple procedures during a single operation.
Following surgery, Sophie remained under postoperative observation at the hospital and attended scheduled follow-up appointments as recommended by her surgeon.
During the initial recovery period, she was instructed to wear compression garments, properly care for her surgical incisions, and closely monitor the healing process of each treated area. Regular follow-up visits allowed the surgeon to assess healing progress, promptly address any postoperative concerns, and provide guidance on appropriate activity and lifestyle modifications throughout recovery.
As healing progressed, Sophie’s abdomen became flatter and more contoured, her upper arms appeared slimmer and better proportioned, and the shape of her breasts improved, contributing to a more balanced and harmonious postpartum figure.
Note: Surgical outcomes and recovery time vary depending on individual anatomy, tissue characteristics, the extent of the procedures performed, and adherence to postoperative care instructions.
