Mother of four kids ages 11,9,6, and 1. I have a lot of stretch marks and loose abdominal skin. have wanted to have this done for years ,but have been terrified after seeing what a friend of mine went through after her tummy tuck! I honestly was afraid she was going to die from pain and the infection!

So, I have finally got the nerve to do it. Scheduled Feb 4th Full tummy tuck, love handle lipo,breast aug revision (going bigger), and full thigh lipo. Does anyone think this is way too much to do in one surgery?

I had a tummy tuck, love handle lipo, and breast lift with augmentation done at the same time. My PS says he likes to keep the surgery under 7-8 hours I was in 6 1/2. He did tell my Mom after surgery the more you have done the more things bother you. I am glad I had it all done at once though because now everything is getting better at the same time. That being said my lipo bothered me the most out of all my procedures. The pain is kind of a burning sensation, it has lessened and does not occur as frequently now. tomorrow I am three weeks post op. My results are looking terrific my PS showed me the before of my lipo area and even with the swelling it looks terrific. As long as you have done your research on your PS and you trust him you should be fine with all the procedures. I am sure the PS wouldn't do it if he/she felt there was a risk

Hi, How are you? Today is a better day for me. I was so sick from the pain killers yesterday that I vomited and thought that I ripped my stomach apart. Went to the DR. and he took the drain out, so happy that it's gone. How long did it take ur breasts to go down? they feel so hard I can't wait wait for them to go down.

With my first implants 3 weeks. Now with this set I haven't noticed tthem drop at all if any with these and I'm 2 weeks and 3 days out...btw, pain killers made me feel so icky I gave them up after a few days. Right now I'm so swollen I don't even want to post my 2 week pics but I think I will anyway, just so people know swelling in the abs after a tt will happen.

I do somewhat but I had prepared myself for it, I knew after my first implants how much the breasts changed. I had 400 cc the first time and after they changed I immediately wanted bigger,give it time. I also had a close friend have a tummy tuck so knew how that looked at first too. Actually I'm most stressed about my tummy tuck and lipo righ now,cause I'm so swollen. I fell like a fat a$$! Not to mention I hoped on the scale today and was up 5 pounds,but that's to be expected also....

Yes, I know with a TT that is to be expected for months. I think you'll be fine in time for summer. I looked at mine again last night and it looks a tiny bit bettter, less redness but very briused and swollen. Can't wait for it to all be worth it. This is not easy. Pain wise I'm not bad at all just back pain.

Thanks for sharing your story and photos on RealSelf. Your body has certainly paid its dues with the child bearing! You deserve to get it back.

I have heard of several women undergoing these procedures at once. As Baby Blues said, surgeons do want to keep the surgeries as short as possible to reduce risk.

Here's a question from a woman with extreme mommy makeover anxiety and the comforting answers from doctors about doing multiple procedures at once.

Please keep us posted on how you're feeling pre- and post-surgery. Hopefully you'll get a lot of good support from the wonderful ladies here.

Oh your tummy is going to look nice when he is done. You look tiny already. That is going to smooth everything out. Isn't a shame you just can't get rid of the darn belly fat. That is the main reason I went for my surgery. You can do situps for hours and it goes nowhere. Looks like you will be getting rid of most of your stretch marks too. You are going to look great.
