I had my surgery Dec. 6th Tummy tuck and breast 475cc. I have a 13 year old and 8 year old. I'm 31 and weigh 153 5'4.







I'm so so happy. I am only 4 days post op and can not wait to get the tubes out.

Just found out it was 457CC not 475cc. I am on my 9th day Post Op and I am not 100% ok with the outcome of my tummy.

Ok post op. day 10 days 11 if you count day of surgery. I feel great. My swelling is going down every day. I do not like how high my girdle goes up on the sides would have to be the only thing bugging me lol.. And blow drying the tap after a shower haha. Less and less pain every day. Thank you everyone.

Wonderful :-) pain is do much better, only need pain pills when I do too much during the day. I can stand. Up straight. Ads are tight but I guess I'm used to the pain.

Thanks so much for posting on RealSelf. I'm glad this went well for you and that you're going to have a new body to enjoy soon! Let us know when you get the drains out. That will be a huge relief!

Hey Sarah! About time you got your pics up!!! Lol you lOok awesome! I think your breasts look perfect! Not too big at all. My PS said he'd do a small implant for me but not until after 3 months post op :(
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
Lisee Thank you girlie... I sooo pushed myself hard yesterday... Today I ache all over.. Yucky. I want to feel better now lol.. I think you boobies look super good. But I totally understand going from D to C and wanting them back. I am thinking about lipo lol.. BUT noooo we are going to run a marathon together :-)
Angie: I got the drains out a few days ago :-) Monday I get the stitches out cant wait. Time is flying by.
crazylady 16 Dec 2011
Thank you for sharing! You look amazing! I'm scheduled for the 27th & can't wait! We are around the same weight so I'm hoping my outcome is comparable to yours!! What cup size were you before? I am a B and am getting 375 but might go a little bigger..
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
I was a 34 c with extra padding. ;-) im a 36D now or 34DD
Luvmynutum 16 Dec 2011
Hey Sarah I think you look great I too had 425 cc with my tummy tuck. Did you have them over or under muscle? I am not happy with my boobs as they just look like big torpedoes. I see my ps today. My tummy is healing but still get slot of swelling.
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
Omg same thing here I feel like they are rockets!! I got over the muscle.
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
Do you have pictures??
Luvmynutum 16 Dec 2011
I can send you a picture I did show my ps today and he said if I'm not happy then he will fix it for me if I want. He also said I could start wearing a bra with wire to lift and support as he does not my skin stretching. I will try and in box you a picture this week end
lisee38 16 Dec 2011
Better rockets than mosquito bites like your girl here!! :)
SassyMomma (RealFriend) 17 Dec 2011
You ladies are cracking me up! Mine felt like torpedoes at first but as they are settling down they look great!
SassyMomma (RealFriend) 17 Dec 2011
You do not have mosquito bites Lisee!
Houston3058 16 Dec 2011
You look so awesome! Why are you not 100% happy with your tummy? Your scar looks so straight. Boobs look perfect for your body.
Houston3058 16 Dec 2011
Been wanting to ask the ladies...how painful is the augmentation? If you could do it over would you have done the procedures seperately or is the pain tolerable? I just wonder because I hardly hear about the pain with ba. How long does it take for the ba pain to go away? Sorry so many questions.
Im scheduled for Jan 12 and am very nervous.
Angiemcc (Community Manager) 16 Dec 2011

I think the TT recovery is so much more intense that most ladies hardly notice the BA. :0)

Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
Boobs were cake :-) compared to the tummy tuck. You get this like electric shock out your nipple. Does not hurt feels strange lol..
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
Totally agree..
SassyMomma (RealFriend) 17 Dec 2011
Boobs were no pain at all to me. Just felt like they engorged with milk like after you have a baby. Piece of cake!
Sarahstar1 26 Dec 2011
Perfect answer sassy momma
NC AuctionQueen 16 Dec 2011
Sarah - why are you not happy with your TT? I think it looks great. I got a quick peak at mine a little bit ago just done yesterday. From everything I have read we need to be very patient with the healing and swelling.
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
I totally see that today the swelling is getting better. I saw I had like a fat back right on top. But looking like swelling :-) how are u feeling?
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
Sorry that was fat pack lol..... Like a little pudgy.
Sarahstar1 16 Dec 2011
Ohhh and thank you :-) I will post some new pics tomorrow.
newmomat37 21 Dec 2011
You look great!!
Sarahstar1 23 Dec 2011
Oh thank you. I just can't wait to be all healed to see the final results. :-)
