Posted 18 Mar 2011

I am a 31 yr old mom of 3. I had 3c sections and have ugly stretch marks and saggy skin. I have been wanting a mommymakeover for sometime now and now that Im finished having kids i am taking the plunge!

Alright everyone!! I am on the countdown!! Two weeks till my BA with lift and TT. I'm getting a little nervous. A little anxious too. I just hope i will love my new body! I am a little worried about the size of my implants. I'm 5'2 120lbs and im getting mentor HPsilicone implants. I want to be a D cup so the PS sais anywhere from 350-450 cc implants..I am worried they will be too big on my small frame.

I about a week out till my BA with lift and TT... getting super nervous. Sometimes I think I want to just call the whole thing off. A ton of what ifs are going through my mind... Just want this week to fly by already.

Four more days!!! I am trying to get prepared! I ordered some Arnica off the internet and started taking it to help with post op swelling. Meds are picked up.. cleaning house and doing laundry this weekend. My nerves are getting the best of me!! If anyone out there knows what else i should get for easier post op please let me know!

Well i am home and i have to say that i was not prepared for the pain! I had some lipo done on my armpit area and had some pretty extensive pain moving my arms..my abs are on fire from the tightening i assume! I've been on my meds nonstop so i am hoping this will pass quickly!

Updated on 11 May 2011:
Oh ya did anyone experience excessive draining from your drain site? One of my drains is leaking around the drain and i was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

Updated on 12 May 2011:
Day 3..feeling much better. Except for the fact i walk around like an old lady! My breasts look great!! Even with the swelling. I still have some oozing from my drain site but it is getting better.. took acouple of stool softners so hopefully they will kick in soon! Everything is going as good as expected.

Updated on 13 May 2011:
Took a shower earlier and i almost passed out! Thank GOD for my mom being there otherwise i would have been in big trouble. I put me a little stool and sat down while i showered. Im so ready to feel better!

Updated on 14 May 2011:
Day 5... much better! Can't believe how swollen i am! Must have been from all the lipo! Still getting aroud pretty slowly and still hunched over.. every day gets better and better!

Today was rough!! My daughters kindergarten graduation along w end of yr dance rehearsal!! I got one drain removed tues and hopefully the other one tomorrow!! My incisions are itching so bad!! Guess that is a good thing right!



Updated on 20 May 2011:
Well didnt get my drain out today like i thought... kinda getting depressed.. idk y.. i got what i wanted... maybe its just being cooped up in the house and all the swelling still. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

Today was a great day!! Was out and running around like normal. Only thing im worried about is the fact that i am accumulating more fluid in my drain that's left. I go monday morning to get it removed but dont wanna get it pulled too soon and get a seroma!!! Will talk my ps to see whats best. :)

Updated on 21 May 2011:

My Doctor: Dr. Schmid

My rating:

Dr. Schmid was very courteous! He did an exellent job with my tummy tuck and he chose a great size of implant for my body.. He picked 400 ccs high profile silicone implants. I stayed overnight and the nurses at NorthStar were absolutely fantastic!! I couldn't have asked for better care!

Good luck and keep us posted! You will not regret it! This is a great site for support!

im 5'2" and 130 lbs and went with 400 ccs in left and 450 in right and i love them. I bought a sports bra 34D and it fits but i might actually be busting out of it a little!
texas8386 26 Apr 2011
Everyone keeps telling me that Ds are gonna be too big but i dont wanna go smaller and then wish i wouldnt have..I can always squish them down right?!? Haha! :)
sbk1975 26 Apr 2011
That's what everyone told me too but under clothes they do not look that big at all!!! Go 400 or 450. You'll love them!!
Happygirl30 12 May 2011
I agree..always go bigger. I was going to get 525cc's high profile implants but my PS said they would look to huge for my body frame. I'm 5'2" in a half and 128 lbs and he said they wouldn't proportionate with my body so I got 475cc's high profiles and now waiting for them to drop!

My suregry date is May 12th. I'm having a lot of anxiety right now. I almost talked myself out of it, but I know I'll regret it. It looks like we'll be taking this journey almost at the same time. Good luck to you.
texas8386 26 Apr 2011

soon2banewme 13 May 2011
Glad you are feeling better! Time will go by faster than you can imagine!! I am now 9 weeks post op and back to doing everything. You will be there before you know it!
texas8386 13 May 2011
Thanks! I am ready to be there already
soon2banewme 14 May 2011
I bet you are girl!! Your tummy looks so pretty!! Nice and smooth! I think lipo causes more swelling on most women. But your results will be awesome! And those bruises will go away soon too...I didn't have lipo but many women who have I've noticed the bruising disapearing pretty quickly.
soon2banewme 14 May 2011
Oh and how are the boobies doing?
