I have two kids - 4 and 6. I was in very good shape prior to having the kids. After each pregnancy, my breast became more deflated and I developed stretch marks and mild diastasis.
Current stats:
35yo
5' 4"
108 lbs
34A
I've decided to get a mommy makeover because plastic surgery is the only "fix" for my sagging deflated breast and bulging belly covered in stretch marks. I exercise and have always maintained a healthy diet and just want my pre-pregnancy body back with a little oomph in the breast area : )
I will be getting a full tummy tuck, donut breast lift with crease incisions and 350cc silicone gel implants under the muscle (hoping to fill out to full C.) My plastic surgeon will not use drains but instead spend extra time on "quilt stitching" to close the dead space. I am also getting a Q pain pump for ab pain control.
Very excited to get this done and excited to do ab exercises post op and finally see results.
All set to go with my pain meds, meals (plain baked chicken, steamed vegetables and brown rice - no salt), protein shakes, and wedge pillow.
Most nervous about IV??? and post surgery nausea. I've actually made a puke bucket for the car ride home just in case ; )
Posting my before pics - wish me luck!

All done! Morning of surgery went well. IV went in easily and quickly. I told anesthesiologist I get very nauseous and get the shakes after going under and he did great in preventing that from happening. All I remember was getting wheeled back feeling loopy then next thing I'm coing too while being bandaged up.
I was very sleepy after surgery. Fell asleep the entire car ride home. Got in and out of the car on my own and up the stairs myself. Slept the rest of the day.

Sorry, just realized I posted this review under Tummy Tuck and not Mommy Makeover, which I had.
My surgery was May 24, 2012. I've been saving up for the past year to finally get this done and my husband has been very supportive throughout the entire process. Will post my update shortly.

I'm glad your surgery went well! My tummy is similar to yours and I just had my consult today and my doc recommended pretty much what you had done, so I look forward to seeing your after pics. I hope you have a smooth recovery!

2 week post-op appt today. Everything is looking very good and I am very happy with the instant results : )
Posting post-op pics now! The ta-ta's look a little big (350cc silicone unders) but I'm 100% confident once they drop they will look very natural for my size. So much better than the flap jacks I previously had ; )
Belly button looks normal - nice round innie and tummy and very tight and flat!

You look fantastic! Was your doc able to remove all of your stretch marks? you look very smooth.

I replied to your comment earlier but not sure what is going on with my replies/ updates. My profile is being a little finicky.
I posted a close up pic of my belly area. The PS cannot remove any of the skin/ stretch marks above my old belly button, but everything that was there was pulled way down below my new belly button. You can see in my close up pic a little bit of my stretch marks but they are so low that they are easily covered up by underwear/ bikini bottom.
I am very happy with the results and my belly is nice and tight!
