I'm a 40 year old mother of 2! I have a 4 year old and a 18 month old and I'm scheduled or a TT and a Breast Reduction on the 24th! 9 days away and I'm really considering not going through with the TT part! I'm getting very scared of everything! Will I live? Can u really go under anesthesia for 6 hours? Will it even be worth it? How long until I can pick up my baby? when does the huge scare look better? I have heard people have trouble breathing after? Jeez... I'm panicking!! Any advice?

Relax and don't over think this.
You are doing this in order to feel and look better and you deserve it! You do need to be mentally prepared for both procedures so make sure you are in the right frame of mind. If you are feeling that strongly about wanting to do them separately please take a step back and write down all the pros and cons.
These procedures are done every day with success. If you have a good doctor, have done your research, and are mentally ready you will be fine.
Just breath...
I had both procedures done myself but at separate times. It was not until after my big weight loss that I needed the tummy tuck.
It is very natural to freak out over these procedures. It's surgery and takes time to recover. I had wanted the breast reduction for many years and regret that I waited so long. I love my results and feel wonderful. I had said for months after the surgery that it was the best thing I ever did for myself.
Well then came the tummy...that is actually my most favorite thing yet. Words can't even describe how happy I am with my new body. Most days I still can;t believe it is me I see in the mirror. It gives you a total confidence boost about your body.
No regrets at all. I would do both all over again for these results.
Thank you so much!! I will be looking at your pictures soon and telling you the same thing :)
Hugs!
Hello - Nice!! You are going to really feel so much better. When the swelling goes down they may get a little smaller but not drastically. If you maintain your current weight they should stay pretty close. I lost a ton of weight after my reduction so that is why mine went down so drastically. Not that I am complaining though...I love them!
What you will notice as they heal is that they settle and take on this really nice and natural tear drop shape. They will get even prettier as you go.
Congratulations!
I did my tummy tuck first march 21st:) I'm waiting on the reduction but hopefully in the next 10 years:) I'm a 36G
They are heavy but have kindof been a part of me , maybe the next 5 years:) then lol
Best of luck with the healing:) the breast reduction actually oddly enough scares me more then my tummy tuck :) sooo glad that silly jelly Is gone:) but now the girls look even bigger, well I mean I can't hide them as well =D
Soooo.... Now about the boobies! :). It was hard for me to do them too because they were so apart of who I am. I actually enjoy them big... But not AS big and floppy as they had become (gotta love what kids do to your body)! They were a big double or triple D which still (like yours) looked great in clothes. My PS was great... She knew I didn't want to totally change but needed help!! They are now a perky (I kid u not) full C... Maybe small D. I haven't worn a bra since!!! My shoulders don't hurt! I can't wait to play tennis!! Lol! Best decision ever!
