"I am better for me and my family loves what it has done for me too.  My back pain is improved. I can move around more easily without having to navigate around my breasts or belly and I feel confident in my own skin for the first time in  a very long time."

You're worth it.

Age: 34 
Procedure: Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty)
& Breast Lift 
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA

"I love my cute belly button!" This 34 year old was able to get back to her goal weight after having three children all of which she breastfed. She had had a breast reduction years ago but after breastfeeding her breasts were stretched and had lost their perky appearance.

Through good old fashioned grit, determination, healthy diet choices, and exercise she was able to reach her goal weight but remained disappointed that her outward appearance did not match how young and fit she felt.

During our first consultation we discussed that no amount of will-power can repair a chronic rectus diastasis (separation of abdominal muscles) or remove extra skin. Which is where I got to help! She underwent abdominoplasty/tummy tuck with rectus diastasis repair and breast lift.  She is thrilled with her results!

Age: 42
Procedure: Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty)
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA

This amazing 42-year-old mother of two underwent a Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty).  She does literally everything she can for everyone around her.  She works, volunteers, coaches, takes care of her neighbors and friends...you name it she does it!  She was really anxious to undergo surgery especially an elective one.  She has a low pain tolerance and had never had any surgery done before. She was worried about the down time, the pain, the risks, etc but ultimately decided she wanted to do this for herself.  She had a very large diastasis (separation in her abdominal muscles) from having two really big kids.  Now that that is repaired she can strengthen her core again!   

She did great postoperatively.  Her drains were removed at two weeks postoperatively.  She works from home so was able to start work again a week after surgery.  She took 6 weeks off from exercising and is back to competitive sports now!    She is super excited about the adorable bathing suits she just picked out (thank you for sending me photos!!!)  It is fun joining in the celebration.  

Age: 54 
Procedure: Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty)
& Breast Lift 
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA

This fabulous 54-year-old lady has a zest for life that is contagious.  I met her several years ago at which point she was unhappy with the appearance of her breasts and abdomen.  She wanted her breasts lifted and augmented and a tummy tuck.  

I recommended staging her breast lift and augmentation, as this approach is often safer and more predictable. Additionally, many women find that once their breasts are lifted, they’re satisfied with the results and no longer feel the need for additional volume. This can help some patients avoid an unnecessary second surgery.

She decided to proceed with a breast lift and tummy tuck, and her recovery was seamless! Since then, she has embraced a healthier lifestyle, achieved her ideal weight, and is maintaining it beautifully—enhancing her surgical results. With her weight loss, she noticed some loss of breast volume and is now planning a small augmentation to refine her overall look.

& Breast Lift 
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato

This 51 year old woman is 3 months postop following "mommy makeover" including a breast lift and tummy tuck (aka abdominoplasty). Like so many moms, she put herself on the backburner for decades before finally taking care of herself.  

She breezed through the recovery process with minimal pain.  At six weeks she was back to exercising and is so happy she took the time to recover.  She feels like herself again!

Age: 34 
Procedure: Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty)
& Breast Lift 
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA

This hardworking 34 year old was determined to get fit after having three children. She had a breast reduction years ago prior to having children but after breastfeeding her breasts were stretched and had lost their perky appearance. Through good old fashioned grit, determination, healthy diet choices, and exercise she was able to reach her goal weight but remained disappointed that her outward appearance did not match how young and fit she felt.   She was very worried with how her belly button my look postop but thankfully she likes it better than her original!  She is excited to go bathing suit shopping!

Age: 31
Procedure: Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty) and Breast Augmentation
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA

Confidence at last! This 31 year old mother of four children didn't experience much weight gain with her pregnancies but her abdominal wall remained stretched out after having her children.  She had a large chronic rectus diastasis (separation of abdominal muscles) that could not have been restored without surgery.  She was also unhappy with the deflated appearance of her breasts after breastfeeding.  She underwent abdominoplasty (aka tummy tuck) which includes a rectus diastasis repair (putting the muscles back together) and placement of small silicone implants to return volume to her breasts.

It was so rewarding to see her emotional tears preoperatively turn to tears of joy when she finally looked at herself postoperatively.  She finally feels confident in her own body again.

Age: 55
Procedure: Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty) and breast augmentation
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA

Hidden Scar! This 55 year old woman underwent a mommy makeover including a breast lift and a reverse abdominoplasty. A reverse abdominoplasty is a tummy tuck done with an incision in the bra line to avoid the incision from hip to hip, not all patients are good candidates for it but she was! She had a breast lift and augmentation done 18 years ago and wanted smaller perkier breasts and a smooth abdomen. Since she was going to have scarring under her breasts for the breast lift and she didn't have a big rectus diastasis (separation of her abdominal muscles) she was a great candidate for a reverse abdominoplasty! She was very excited to avoid the lower abdominal scar. She is over the top excited with her results and feels so comfortable in her own skin again!

Age: 39 
Procedure: Tummy Tuck (aka Abdominoplasty)
& Breast Augmentation
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA

This incredible 39-year-old woman wanted to regain her confidence.  She wanted a subtle increase in her breast volume and upper pole fullness as well as a repair of her rectus diastasis (separation of her abdominal muscles) and removal of the extra skin and fat.   She wanted to look natural and not overdone. During implant try ons she shared her goals and chose a few implant sizes that looked great on her.  She was spot on with her choice, during the surgery I use sizers to make sure the size the patient chooses matches what they have shared they want it to look like.  

She breezed through her recovery period and is so kind to share how big of an impact this surgery has had on her confidence.  We love seeing her in clinic and love sharing in her joy!
