“All That I'm Shooting for at 43, As...”

At 26 I had my first child. A beautiful, bouncing baby boy! Just a few ounces shy of 8 pounds. That wasn't bad for a teeny small framed woman who has barely over 110 pounds before giving birth but I was left with severe stretch marks and a high tummy after gaining over 30 pounds during the pregnancy. 3 years later I gave birth to another beautiful bouncing baby boy and before that gorgeous son... more

“I Feel Amazing! - Beverly Hills, CA”

After I had my daughter 8 yrs ago, it was very hard to get rid of the baby fat around my stomach area and get my old body back. I finally decided to consider surgery.

I struggled with my weight after pregnancy and was self conscious about the loose skin. I also had a bulge in my lower abdomen. The breasts were looking bad as well.

“I Had a Tummy Tuck, Hernia and...”

I'm 5.1' 122 pounds and after two c-sections, second baby being 8 1/2 pounds at delivery my stomach was a wreck. My diastasis was so bad I could fit three of my finger between my stomach muscles.

“6 weeks PO Update”

My mom always battled weight and I've been up and down too. She finally lost 100 lbs through WW and we were going to have surgery together. Hers a whole body lift and mine a TT.

So I'm... more

I started this journey a little over a year ago when I decided to get the lapband after many years of failed dieting and exercising, consistently losing minimal to no weight.

Dr. Grant Stevens performed a Mommy makeover, which for me included a Breast Augmentation (Gummy Bears...yippy yahoo & perky too), Tummy Tuck(like a rock-star baby), Liposuction and a ThermaCool Face Lift (graciously lifted). Especially since this was my first experience with... more

My back is very sore... more

I am a mother of 5 including a set of 10 month old triplets. I had 11 year old stretched out implants which I totally destroyed nursing babies.
