Hello curious people. I had my mommy makover...
$13,500
Hello curious people. I had my mommy makover yesterday afternoon. My procedure took 5+ hours and included a breast aug and lift and a tummy tuck. I don't remember anything about the surgery which is nice! When I woke in recovery I was anxious to see the results but the bandages will keep me in suspense. I am about 30hrs out naw I am In pain but not unbearable. I have a horse voice from anesthesia and I was pretty nauseous for about 12 hrs. The pain meds are working wonders but it is hard to rest comfortably. I will see my dr (dr. Williams in Cincinnati) tomorrow am so hopefully I will get a peak at my new body. I'll post pictures then.
I know this sight was a blessing for me in my decision making and comfort level so I hope I can do the same for more women

Day 2, the follow up appt
Today I got to see myself naked! My tummy is flat as a board and would rival my 20-something figure that I am sure I took for granted. I have three beautiful children (5, 3 and 1) and I wouldn't trade them for the world but I also didn't want to cash is my "sexy" when I became a Mother. My body is pretty swollen and the dr taking off the tagederm wasn't pleasant. He did remove the On-q pain pump which was providing numbing mess to my abdomen. I was able to tell when the pain ball ran out of juice but a little extra Percocet seemed to take care of the pain.
As for the body, what can tell now is that my breasts are closer in size to one another than before surgery. I think the belly button is a bit junkie but my surgeon hubby swears it will look great. I did have a full lift so I have a vertical scar from my nipple down and one under my breast. I also have a small vertical scar just above my pubic bone because I had so much scar tissue from three c-sections.
Pain wise, today is a little worse than yesterday, mostly in my lower back. I am sleeping w a heating pad and trying to move around as much as I can. I have a few pictures to download and I will post them shortly.
I hope this helps all u beautiful ladies trying to reclaim Your SEXY!

Thank You swimfan I want my sexy back after 3 kids ,losing 50 pounds and lifting weights and exercising in the gym. It seems so scary to go thru with the TT, BL and Aug like you. I hope it is better after I make the decision.I hope you recover very well and heal beautiful. Cant wait to see your results.!! Back pain sounds like a bummer. I have degenerative disc in my back so I hope it doesnt get crazy when I have my surgery. Is it painful all the time?

My experience pre surgery was amix of excitement and fear. I talked with a few women who had been thru the procedures then i realized that each person has a different post-op experience. My surgery was long and a bit tough so my back is swollen and bruised. I also have some Degen in my lower spine but i think this is just pain from the skin disection and pulling everything towards my pubic bone. I wish you the best of luck making your decision. Ill send pictures asap so you can get a feel for the Results!

I had my tt and ba on the 18th also. I am shocked on how much of an appetite I have. I am sore, but the pain meds are working great and I am not even taking the full amount.
December 20, 2013
That is amazing! I dont care for the meds much but i am too afraid of the pain to not take them! How r u feeling about the results?

I think everything looks good. My scar looked low when the doctor changed me the day after. I am very curious how everything looks though.

Congratulations on your new body! I am in the beginnings of "research and development " lol ... I am in the Columbus area and have so far had two consults for BL,BA,TT. I am seeing such a range in fees. Did you experience this?
December 21, 2013
The estimates i had ranged from @ 12,500 - 13,900. My surgery ran over by 2 hrs so i am not sure if i will be billed by the Center and Anestesia for the additional time. Ill keep you posted.

I also have one recommendation to do TT,BL In one procedure then return for implants. Not sure .... Would prefer to get it all done in one process! Haven't seen to many that have done that. :)

Hi I have been researching much about plastic surgery. It is my understanding that health has a lot to do. If a person smokes or drink, if you are overweight, underweight, if you have any medical condition, the amount of time you are willing to take off recovery and again it also depends on the doctor. I found a Doctor who is willing to give me many procedures at the same time. Good luck to you!!

I am 96 hours into recovery now and I am still pretty slow moving. I did have a BM today which was a little unpleasant but not as bad as I has anticipated. I am still very swollen and afraid to look at myself with any critical eye. The pain is subsiding hour by hour now and my appetite is returning. My back is still tremendously sore and I am wondering if muscle relaxers may help some. I will call the drs. office tomorrow to ask. Anybody out there try them for a sore back? I am going to take some more pictures tonight but I don't want to post the after shots until I am confident that I am happy with my results. As always, hope this is helpful!

I am on muscle relaxers and started a day or two before my surgery. As far as back pain, I am on a heating pad to also help. I really have no pain from surgery, but I am still scared to look. With all the tubes and tape and being swollen what's the point. I had a bm today to. After taking 3 stool softeners a day, since surgery, I took a laxative, and now I am empty.
