My PS is awesome. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable from the moment I had my first consultation with him. He has an amazing talent and I'm so fortunate to have had him be my surgeon.

I forgot to tell everyone a little about my history. I am 25 years old and have two boys, one is 5 and one just turned a year old. =) Luckily I have an amazing husband who has completly stepped up to the plate and taken over the house for my recovery. My height is about 5'7 and I weighed before surgery 155lbs. Before photos and more after to come! =)

Your breast look great. Do you have any before pictures?

Thanks so much guys! I never wrote a review or anything before the surgery last week. I am officially 1 week post op today and I feel pretty great! But this website really helped me get through the pre-surgery jitters.. I was really scared and still can't believe I went through with the whole thing, but I am SO glad that I did. Everyday the results get more and more amazing, so I couldn't be more happy. I will post before pictures soon so everyone can see the transformation. ;) I just wanted other people like me to have the chance to see my results or be able to ask me questions that may be concering them about the whole process. =)

Hi MsWhit,
Yeah I hear ya, It was kind of wierd to me that there weren't many people in their 20's who had this done.. I just wanted to do it while I was young and healthy and to enjoy my body in my youth. ;) My recovery was actually better than I expected. The first 2 weeks were pretty sore and slow moving, but it was like a magical switch at 2.5 weeks exactly, I just woke up one morning and could stand straight again, and my energy level was back to normal. This coming wednesday will be week 4 for me, and I feel totally normal again with the exception of wearing my binder still. My PS told me at 2 weeks I could wear spanx or something similar, but I really have had a hard time finding anything comfortable, so I just stuck with my regular binder he gave me. =) I do still notice I'm super skinny in the mornings, and then by the end of the day my stomach is puffier. My PS told me I would have some noticeable swelling in the afternoons for about 3 months. But his assistant told me she saw a "bloating" in her lower stomach for about 8 months, but it wasn't "bad" per say. (She's very skinny) Other than that, I am just so excited for how my body has healed, and I'm even more excited to see the final result next year! I definitely have to update my pics, sorry!

OMG you look GREAT! Do you have draining tubes? Are you using any type of oil on your skin? You do not even look swollen or bruised. I'm so anxious to see my results. However I'm nervous about the pain. My surgery is in 5 days. I can't even sleep!
March 4, 2011
Thanks! I feel great too! I'm just using regular lotion on my skin. lol. My surgeon is having me wear mefix tape over my incision for 3 months, 2 more to go! I wear it for 4-5 days then change it again. I kind of like having it on. It is to achieve optimal scar healing. As for thinking about doing the stomach and breasts separately, I did mine together and I'm SO glad I did. I know how I am, and if I didnt get my stomach done I wouldn't have been completely happy. My results improve everyday, and I'm thrilled! As for the swelling, I was at first of course, but over the past two weeks it has dramatically improved everyday. Maybe my trick is that my surgeon told me I could wear spanx at two weeks, but I am still wearing my actual stage 1 binder everyday while awake. I really think that has made a HUGE difference in flattening everything back out. ( I personally recommend wearing it for the full 6 weeks) =) It's so cool because 4 weeks ago my binder was closed more towards the middle of my stomach, and now I have to cinch it like a corset, that's how much the swelling has gone down. As for bruising I had very minimal bruising, and it was only right above my butt from the liposuction to my flanks. It was gone at 2 weeks post op. I was surprisingly calm the closer to my surgery I got, maybe you will be too. ;) As for me, this surgery even this early has completely exceeded my expectations going into this. I have to small children, and one is still an infant, and I could do this, the pain for the first two weeks can be described as tightness for me, more than anything it drove me nuts that I couldn't stand up straight. Then all of a sudden at 2.5 weeks along, it was like someone flipped a switch and I was back to normal. I still took it easy with lifting and things, until 3 weeks, but now I'm back to my normal walking and lifting and carrying the baby, and I couldn't be more happy. =) Take care and good luck, and if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Thanks...I feel the same way. I was at first just getting my breast done but I decided a week ago to have a TT Also. I knew I wouldn't be happy with my body unless I did. I'm taking a cruise in May for my bday...I hope I don't be swollen still.

Your results are beautiful! I'm having my "makeover" on the 10th!! so 5 days away...I want to know how many cc's you went since your's looks about the sz im wanting!! Thx for your help!:)
March 4, 2011
Thank you so much! I went with 400 cc filled to 480 in both. I am a 34DD or a 36D now, before I was barely filling half of a 36c which I wore before breastfeeding. So I was probably a bcup before, if that helps. Good luck with your makeover! ;)
