I'm 18..young, I know..anyway, I got pregnant when I was 16 and had my beautiful baby boy when I was 17 on April 14th 2011. I chose to put him up for adoption, out of love, because it was better for him. It's an open adoption and I'm still a big part of his life. I used to be a size 1-3 and 110lbs and an A cup. I had tight skin and perky breasts all without stretchmarks. I gained 35lbs and no my breasts and stomach are covered in stretch marks and I have very loose skin. I went to my consultation last week and am putting the down payment down next week when I schedule it. I am nervous about how my stretch marks will look because my Dr said I will still have some around my belly button and of course my breasts. I also have never had surgery before. I also don't want my belly button to look unatural. I'm really nervous about not looking the way I want to.

Thank you for finding us and for starting your story here on RealSelf. You are a youngster, but it will be nice to be able to enjoy your body while you're young! You do know that if you have babies later on, they could affect your results, yes? As long as you're aware of that, I say go forth and do it. I know it's scary, but you're young and sound healthy and this will all be behind you by next fall.

Good luck! I hope all works out for you. About the stretch marks you will get rid of most of them but everything above your belly button will stay they will just be moved down under your belly button and of course your stomach will be tighter and not loose. I had mine done 2 weeks ago and I had probably as many stretch marks as you. It looks alot better now. I still haven;t taken any after pics because I am still very swollen and bruised. I will be post all mine soon. Again Good Luck!!

I definitely want to keep updated because I am only 21 and also considering this procedure after our second baby is born since I am due March 10, 2012 and want to lose weight after delivery.
