“ August Mommy Makeover - Halifax, NS”

Hey everyone, I am 5'6 and my normal weight is about 150 to 155 lbs. I have a beautiful 22 month old little girl and am expecting a little boy in March. I've always had the dreaded muffin top growing up, but after reaching 218 lbs on my first pregnancy it became apparent that I could never have the body I wanted, let alone the one I use to have. I would spend up to 2 hours a day exercising and watched everything I ate. Even with all the hard work and strict nutrition my stomache (skin) would sag to the floor when I did planks, or push ups.

My breast which where always large, DD38, completly deflated after breast feeding and would hang very low. My stomache, pelvis, and sides are completly covered in stretch marks. My skin has horrible elasticity. After my dauhter was born I scheduled a consult for laser lipo only to be turned down as a poor candidate. I was told I could return at a later date to see if there was any improvement. I was so upset. I did not want a tummy tuck. Now after careful consideration I have decided that I am going to have a full mommy makeover. Tummy tuck, breast lift, silicone gel implants, and lipo if needed.

My consult is scheduled for June and I have booked the OR in advance so I can have the procedures completed in August. I just want to feel good in my own skin, and hopefully look good in a two piece. Im ok with the stretch marks, but i just dont want breast at my belly button, or a flap of skin hanging over my pants at the age of 26.

ok so after much discussion about breast I have decided to post some pics of mine. Please note that I am currently 8 months preggers so they are fuller than normal. What do you think ladies, can I just get a lift?

Finally able to upload some pics. So I am currently a D-DD 38. I am hoping to be a full C or D but with plently of lift and a reduced nipple. They have changed alot since I started to have children. I was thinking that I needed to have a anchor lift with an implant to get the desired effect that I want but after viewing others results I may just get away with a lift. It would be nice to not have to worry about implant rejection, and replacement.

Hey everyone! So had a beautiful little boy the end of March. I went up to 200 lbs and am currently sitting at 170. I want to get down into the 150's before my consult in June so my surgeon can give me an acuurate assessment. So im doing the 17 day diet lol. On day 13 and down 5 lbs so far. Im pretty sure I can hit my goal weight of 155 by mid June. I want to give myself a good month of healthy eating without restrictions before I have surgery.

So I am still hoping to just get the breast lift without implants but everytime I see a nice "set" on tv I start to wonder if I should get them while im at it. I just don't want any further maintenance. So im gonna wait and see what the doctor has to say about it.

I am so nervous that he will tell me that im not a good candidate or that my skin needs more time to heal from my pregnancy. I am healthy but you never know. Anyways I will post some before pics soon. Any one else having surgery in August?
