Mommy Makeover: Stories

Write a Review

2 more consults complete.....I think I found the one

Well....I started my Mommy makeover consultation.....

Well....I started my Mommy makeover consultation....( so excited). I been debating over the years should I get a Mommy makerover or not. Well...after 6 kids ...I so want my body back. I look so youthful in the face, but my breast looks like saggy prunes and my tummy looks like a brain....lol. My husband has been so against it, but he was to the point he did not want to discuss it and even threaten to leave. He surprise me today when he decided to ride with me to Dr. Hochstein office, but he said he would wait in the car. So the office is a pleasure to wait in and staff very welcoming. I got there 10 mins late, but did not wait long to see him. So we discuss what I want which is a large B/ C-. I am right now a 34 B deflated, I think.

I brought some pics for what I wanted and he said.....what you are looking for is a small C, which is 300 cc and he recommended I go with silcone. I was thinking like 250 or 275 cc. I hope that does not look to big on me. My weight is 137 lbs, 5'7 and bra size at the moment is a deflated 34 b. I am looking for average size natural look.....but small, cute and perky. My tummy he says will look great because my stretch marks are all below my belly button, so I won't have any( me inside YEAH!). The only thing I was excepting is one incision at tummy tuck area, but he said I would need a lollipop approach to do the lift. Because I am African American I am afraid of the scars on my breast. That is something new I learned today. Dr. Hochstein was my first consult and I plan on consulting with 3 more doctors, before I make my mind up......I am so excited, about my new journey, I just want to educate my self as much as possible and make the best decision. Dr. Hochstein is very professional and kind, but he is not a big talker very reserve like, he answered all my question and I did not feel rush. Michelle his assistant is very open, cheerful and sweet. As far as price they quoted me at $11,450 but they are going to try to work on the numbers for me. I will see what they can best offer me and let's see why happen. That my experience with Dr. Hochstein.....now it's off to go set my next consult..... Any suggestion of great MD in Miami ? Thank you for reading my post

So...I been so hectic with the holidays...I have...

I want a MM too. I'm starting with the BA first. Good luck to you!

Dr. Hochstein is the bomb. I looked at a lot of PS's and he stood out heads above the rest. He is current with the procedures needed to give you the best results possible. I highly recommend him. He did my tummy, nose, and eyelids and has changed my whole outlook on me. Best of luck to all you future tummy tuckers!

Girl, it takes time. My hubby finally came around when he saw that I was depressed about my body and my lack of spontaneity...if you know what I mean. From what I've read, silicone feels more natural, although some doctors say that saline feels just as natural if it is inserted under the muscle. Of course, they'll all be hard in the beginning until they drop and soften.

I've consulted with Pazmino, Azurin, Bal Harbor plastic surgery, and Amunategui. To me Azurin work is the best but he doesn't do the 2 procedures together. I'm going with Amunategui, he accepts insurance and got my breast reduction approved ....check them out if your still looking

I'm in the same boat my fiance doesn't want me to get a mm either. Hes all the time offering to get me a car instead. But I think he knows now that I'm not going to budge. I think of it like this if someone truly loves you they will want what makes you happy and a better person. Not try to hold you back because of their own insecurities.

I agree...I made up my mind, I just need to set a date and money... I can't wait. For him, I don't know if he choose to leave me for getting my MM then I guess it was just written in the books for us to end like that. But it will be his lost and he knows it. I don't want to sound like I am all made of steel and I won't hurt ov it. But I am an adult. I just need his support not his permission. We been together 18 years next month. So I rest the ball in his court now.

Hopefully it wont get to that...Guys sometimes try to take a stand and look like an ass after it's all said & done..
NoMoreBoobEnvy (RealFriend) 23 Jan 2013
Really? I'm sorry :/ I never get it - one would think they would want to see you feeling happy, confident and sexy!!!!
NoMoreBoobEnvy (RealFriend) 23 Jan 2013
Checking in Novmeber to see if your man came around?!
all4me1213 28 Dec 2012
My BF was/is very supportive. In the beginning he was skeptical until he did his own research. He also attended the consultations with me and has been my support system through this recovery. I opted for saline for safety reasons, and I'm aware of the new silicone implants. Just a personal preference
November Rose 28 Dec 2012
How does you BF likes them...what does he say about the the feel...I know you just got them done, so it may take some time until swelling goes down.
all4me1213 28 Dec 2012
He loves them, and said they feel natural...I just allowed him to squeeze, to painful to fondle before. .lol I think it helped that I had some breast tissue before..I just lost the volume/fullness & perkiness..Also I didnt overdue it with the cc selection. .I wanted to though. ..lol

Good Luck to you - with everything! I don't think men realise how much the aftermath of having babies affects our confidence. We are our own worst critics and even though your husband thinks you look beautiful, it's you that needs to be happy with the reflection you see in the mirror. (Also it's no fun tucking loose skin into clothes, in fact it hurts and feels horrible.)
November Rose 28 Dec 2012
Thank you for understanding...they have no idea.....I want to do it for me may sound so cliche, but I do. I am even risking my marriage, I have comprise with so much with him and the one thing I ask for he is not even going to try to consider...I don't want to 60 years old and wishing I would have done it. What ever happens ...just happens. It's my time now.
all4me1213 17 Dec 2012
No before pics?
November Rose 28 Dec 2012
