Have you ever thought about having a tummy tuck and breast implants after pregnancy but worried about looking like you had a lot of work done at once? The SIMM, or the Single Incision Mommy Makeover Procedure, is a term coined by Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke that refers to a combination breast augmentation with an abdominoplasty. The abdominoplasty incision is used to perform the breast augmentation as well. By utilizing this technique, there are no scars placed on the breast; two procedures through a single incision giving the optimal result with less incisions!
A complete abdominoplasty is performed and breast implants (saline or silicone) are placed in a submuscular or subglandular position using direct visualization. Although it is technically more challenging, the direct result is a completely natural-appearing breast augmentation without any scar to indicate that an enhancement was performed.
Indications
- Healthy patients that are candidates for breast augmentation AND
abdominoplasty
- Breasts without significant ptosis (sagging)
- Patients who meet the above criteria and wish to perform two procedures in a single setting
Contraindications
- Patients with multiple comorbidities (diabetes, heart disease, or any other condition rendering the patient as high-risk
- Patients with significant ptosis (sagging)
Advantages
- Single incision with no breast incisions
- Shorter operative time for combined breast augmentation/abdominoplasty
- Faster recovery time
- Lower cost than two separate procedures
- A single operation
