Thank you so much for posting this blog and sharing your journey. I too live in Tucson, am 35 yrs old and have a lot of the same things going on with my physique since I had children. I am scheduled for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation on September 6th. Reading this has made me a little less nervous. I keep thinking about "worse case scenario and what could possibly happen to me on the table" but I have wanted this for a long time, and I am going to do this!

Waterside, the pic of me holding one boob, is the before pic. Kind of saggy. But perky now! And alejandra, you can do this. You will not regret it. I won't lie it is a tad uncomfortable after, but you will do great.

I see you had a breastlift, were implants added? What size. I have surgery with Dr V in January. Very excited, hope I turn out as lovely as you did.

It has been a month, and I couldnt be happier. Everything came out beautiful, and I will post pics today. I will admit the recovery has been tough and not for the faint of heart. It was painful, but i looked amazing from the first day. Of course I am still wearing this binder and I swell at night, but its not as bad as I thought it would be. Im so tiny now, and clothes fit me so well. I have started walking 3 miles everyday. and it helps me from not losing my mind. All in all, I am very pleased with how I look. My doctor is an artist, and I will recommend him to all my friends.

Wow you look fabulous! My stomach is quite a bit like yours pre-op. Hoping I have half the results you did. So glad to hear a good review on here. Hope it only gets better with time for you! Congrats!

Thanks for the well wishes. I am an hour from surgery and my stomach is in knots. I took a laxative yesterday afternoon and that is not fun!!! I guess it's good bc I got everything out, but the cramps were awful. I'm very excited for the change this morning, but the anticipation is killing me. Well I go to go! The bathroom calls....again. Lol. Thanks everyone! Happy healing.
