On February 18th, I will be undergoing "mommy makeover" cosmetic surgery, including a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and sub-muscular breast implants with a breast lift. My tuberous breasts will be corrected as well. I'm not getting any liposuction done, at least not during an initial procedure. I love taking long, hot baths! I know that submerging myself will be a no-no, but for how long?
