Grapevine Mommy Makeover Doctors and Reviews

“Changed from MM to BA only :(”

I am the mother to 2 sweet boys (6 & 4). I have a wonderful, supportive husband! I just don't like my body anymore. I was in very good shape before kids...but after 2 almost 9lbs babies my stomach muscles are shot. My breast have always been small, but after beast feeding they just got smaller and are not even round anymore. I am so nervous that I am considering cancelling my... more

“My Experience - Southlake, TX”

If I could rate my experience with Dr. Kasden and his office staff I would rate them 10 out of 10. I recently under went Mastopexy (Breast Lift), Breast Augmentation, and Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) on February 2nd, 2012. I began at 220 lbs in 2008 and now have been/maintained 130lbs for over a year now, with being 27 years old and only 5'2 and losing 90 lbs as great as it is to lose that... more

“Getting So Nervous! - Dallas, TX”

I am 36 years old and have a 3 and 5 year old. I have always had small breasts, but it seems like they became even more non-existent after breastfeeding both kids. I had a belly button ring in college and after removing it and having 2 pregnancies I had some ugly stretch marks and scarring around my belly button as well as it's herniated. I'm 5'4" and 126 lbs. I have a... more

“Dr J. Made Me Look Better at 40 Than...”

After a back surgery (frontal access), a C Section and a deflated saline implant, I was unhappy when I stood in the mirror naked and just didn't feel sexy because of it. I had a TT with lipo of the flanks and love handles and also had a breast augmentation revision.  I couldn't be happier.  Dr J. made me look better at 40 than I ever did at 20. more

“So Happy I Chose my Doctor -...”

My breast and tummy were saggy, baggy and deflated. I worked out 4 times a week and saw no results in those areas. I am done with having children, so I was ready to have a nice body again. I had my first child at 16, so I never had my bangin 20's. About a week after my surgery, my boyfriend was picking me up for lunch. I told him to come in, he said that he would just wait in the car.... more

“Great Experience - Keller, TX”

I lost a lot of weight very fast due to an injury and surgery. I had a lot of sagging skin. My self image is greatly improved. I lost approximately 40 lbs in just a few months from surgery to repair a broken femur (due to taking Fosamax for an extended period) . I started interviewing plastic surgeons for not just a breast augmentation, but a lift, lipo on my flanks and a tummy tuck . I... more

“Tummy Tuck, Breast...”

I am wife and mother to three wonderful children. I had my first child when I was 22 years old and have since then longed for my "former" body. I scheduled and delayed my cosmetic surgery in the past because I was not sure if I was going to have more children or not. After several years I had two babies 13 months apart and now know that I am done having children. At 34, I am still... more

“Pain-free recovery (YMMV)”

I am so thankful for RealSelf for allowing people with common goals to share their stories. I have learned so much reading about everyone’s individual experiences. So now I am finally adding my story. Here are my stats: Age: 36 Height: 5'0" Weight: 112 Bra size: 34A Children: 3 (ages 11, 8, 5) All my children were delivered via c-section. I previously weighed... more

“Enjoying my new shape!”

I have two wonderful children which I breastfed each for one year. My body recovered quite well after the first one, but not after the second. My weight has been stable for several years and I have decided I can no longer stand the tire around my waist. I thought well, if I'm going under anesthesia for the tummy tuck, I might as well get the lift also. Reality is setting in... more

“It's Time for a New Me! - Fort Worth, TX”

Hello all. I am a 36 year old mom with an 11 year old son and finally decided after years with this body that enough is enough! I found this website months ago and have been kinda cyber-stalking everyone since. I have read and re-read all of the stories and testaments so many times I feel like I know everyone. So I decided to write and log my own story, like the other brave women here, in the... more

“Amazing Artist... a MASTER! -...”

As a Mommy Makeover patient of Dr. B's, I think very highly of him, his staff, and the Dr. owned hospital in Southlake, Texas. For 12 years I followed many referrals and made several appointments for consultation, but was never completely comfortable or able to satisfy myself with the work of other Dr.'s. When I met Dr. B in August of 2010, I knew right away that he was the surgeon for... more

“When Do I Start Feeling Better? -...”

I just had a full tummy tuck, breast lift with silicone implants, and lipo. I am on post-op day 3. When does the pain go away? I am on percocet, hydrocodone, and valuim. The worst part is that I started today and I feel like my whole stomach is one big fart bubble!! Will a shower help...? Also, I've been sleeping in a reclyner. Well, I tested out the shower this evening and more

“Tummy Tuck with Breast Lift and So...”

I just had my procedure three weeks ago. I spent so much time on the internet for years researching, thinking....I spent alot of time on this website and found it reassuring and helpful so I thought it only fair I share my experience for someone else. I am so glad I did it. My doctor and hospital were wonderful. My doctor considered every question from the big to the small. I visited with... more

“My Mommy Makeover Experience -...”

The reason that I decided to do a Mommy makeover is because after years of bad eating habbits and two children I really did not like the way body looked at all anymore. I am 24 years old and that is to young to have have to worry about so many body image issues. The cons of both procedures are really what would be expected. There is the obvious pain, and there is a scar from hip to hip.... more

“Tummy Tuck and Breast Implants 800cc...”

I wanted to have the surgery because my body looked bad after having twins. the only two cons were the drains and the pain. The after pictures are almost one month after surgery.   I weigh 160 pounds and my bra back span is 38, my waist is now 27 and a half inches around (that is smaller then more

“Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift and Breast...”

My surgery date is June 23, 2010. I have to be a non smoker for a month before my doctor will even think about doing a tt. I am so excited. I cant wait for my clothes to look ok on me. R to be able to wear clothes that really fit instead of buying them big so my belly doesnt show. I wanted breast aug also. But dr doesnt want to do that right now at same time as others. I wish he would... more
