WORTH IT$13,000
Had the 2nd phase of 3 part Mommy Makeover on Tuesday Dec 4. That was for liposuctioning of back, waist, inner/outer thighs, hips, and knees. I'm posting a review on that. So far the healing on BR is looking better. Where the incisions got infected the scar is wider and obvious, not a nearly invisible seam as the rest is. I'm still using Scarguard and Micropore tape on all incisions. I think the tape is helping relieve the stress on incisions which allows them to heal with less obvious scarring. The liposuction done to my face/neck and bra rolls has settled in nicely and if it's an indication of how this next phase will be like I am very excited. So far it has been worth the discomfort. I'm with many others who said they only wished they hadn't done it sooner.

I'm now a little over 2 months post BR and am so grateful to have been able to change my life. I can't say I have no more back pain, but I am able to go longer in my day before it starts hurting. Taking Arnica helped with bruising and pain. I had a little trouble with infections on incisions, but they are healing now and can revise if needed.

Thank you for your story, it helps me a lot. I'm in somewhat of the same boat as you. My problem is my back. I'm gearing up for my 2nd herniated disc surgery which has left me seriously considering a BR. I'm currently a 38DD, but may be larger (too frustrated to actually find out). I'm tall, so my body dynamics are all out of whack when you're also large up top. At 41 years of age with now two back surgeries, I'm scared of what the future holds for me. Like you said, will I be in a wheel chair? I'm so sorry you had to go through 7 surgeries! I'm happy you are happy with the results. I had a BR in 1995 and the reduction was not nearly enough, in addition to that, i've gained weight since then and had one child. So, it's like the 1995 BR didn't even happen. I've read that a 2nd one becomes complicated, so I'm still wondering what to do.

That is a pickle! I thought long and hard before spending so much money on these surgeries. It was a decision that was so beyond how I looked as to being about how I could barely FUNCTION in day to day activities. The relief I've gotten from the removal of so much weight (5lbs) off my chest has been a blessing. I hope you can find relief too, I can honestly say I feel your pain.

Thanks for your understanding. I'm so happy you've found some relief. I agree with you, it's beyond looks. Once my back surgery is done, I'm going to start meeting with doctors to find out more information.

Almost six weeks post op now. Have had progress in healing of infection on left side incision. Was given next surgery date of December 4. Will be having liposuction of torso, thighs and knees. The pain is minimal most of the time with a sharp twinge here and there as the nerves come back. A tiny amount of feeling has returned, but nothing in nipples yet. The under arm and bra roll areas that had lipo have more swelling to go and there are lumps that I plan on getting lymph massage to help smooth out. It really gets better every day and so far I really love my results and am so happy I did this. It's looking like I may hit my goal of 36 C. I have photos to post and will soon.
