Hey, I am 25 years old and mother of a 6 year boy. My surgery (tummy tuck and breast reduction) is scheduled for August 1st.... That's 3 days and I am super nervous but even more excited! I have wanted this procedure since my son was born, almost 7 years ago. I don't consider myself to be big at all, but I have a flabby stomach and major stretch marks, hence the need for a full tummy tuck with a little bit of lipo. I'm 5'5'' and 145 pounds (10 pounds are probably boobs, no lie), therefore I am also getting a breast reduction. I have had breast that were too large for my body since I was about 13! I am currently in a size 34 D sometimes DD, and since having my son, my large breast are now saggy. I originally inquired with my PS about a breast lift but he informed me because my breast were so large, and I desired smaller breast, a breast reduction would be best for me. In other words, if he lifted the breast I have, because of their size, they would end up saggy again quickly. When I tell people I am getting a tummy tuck, everyone says they don't know why because I'm not fat, which is true but they've never seen me naked! I'm not doing it to take the easy way out or to lose weight. I currently work out 5 or 6 days a week and have been working out for about 4 years. It seems that the more I work out and the more weight I lose, the more saggy and loose my skin gets. So far, I am very pleased with my PS and his staff! They have been super helpful and have very much prepared me for my upcoming surgery. I am super excited about my procedure and will give updates!

Ok, not tomorrow but the next day, and finally made myself take pre surgery pics! I'm ready for a lot of these stretch marks to be gone and to finally have a normal belly button again!

You're going to be so happy when you do this! Good for you taking care of it at such a young age! I went in a couple of weeks before my TT and asked him to draw the line on my belly where incision would be. Have you asked your doc about that?
July 31, 2013
I too am 25 and I have a 5 year old little girl! I am having a TT and BR on October 1st so please keep me updated on how you're doing and what to expect! You're going to look amazing! Glad to see someone else in the same boat as me! :)

You couldn't have a better surgeon! He did my TT last January and I am so happy with my results! And his staff are all amazing! Trust me, you'll be fine and so happy you are doing this. Check out my pic's if you want to see the good doc's work, good luck and post often and share your results.

Glad to talk to someone who has had the same surgeon! You look great! I will be posting pictures soon!
July 31, 2013
Thanks!! He's really great and so kind, and his staff is utterly amazing. You are in good hands all around. Can't wait to see your pictures. Good Luck! (not that you will need it with Dr. McFadden doing your surgery!!)

I know you've got to be nervous tonight, but I know you'll do just fine. Listen to the good Doc's advice, take things slowly , give yourself time to recover, and trust Dr. McFadden. He really knows what's he's doing. As far as I'm concerned he's a miracle worker, he performed one or me! Good luck!

good luck! you will have a great result - i can tell by your pics! it does not matter how much we work out, for it cannot bring those muscles together that have split apart from pregnancy. you are almost there, and i am sure you prepared yourself, but take a quick look at my list of before and after tips.
just tell him you want the incision as low as he can get it for your body. one must be careful not to lift up the pubic region to over lift the urethra and the clit, making them too high up. it seldom happens. my PS said it was the first thing they were instructed not to do. i only know of one case like that. you seem to have an experienced surgeon, so he will go low and accurate. looking forward to your updates!

I just had a tummy tuck 7-31-2013, so we'll both be almost at the same stage of healing. Good luck!
