Hi all! I'm a 32 year old mom of 2. I'm done...

WORTH IT$11,300

Hi all! I'm a 32 year old mom of 2. I'm done having kids and would love to get my body back! I've been losing weight since April and have lost 12 lbs. Although my ideal weight is 135lbs, I'm currently 192lbs. My breasts are a good portion of that weight (lol). I've always been busty with an hourglass figure but after two kids (one of which was almost 12lbs at birth), I'm shaped these days more like a garbage can and my boobs look like something out of National Geographic (I hope you all are picking up on my self deprecating humor!)

I'm doing my TT, BBL, LIPO with Dr.Azurin of Miami. He's worked on a close friend of mine and I'm in love with how she looks! So I'm pretty sure Dr. A will be my guy. I have a consult with him on 06/13. However, I'm looking to do a BL with Dr. Horndeski of Texas. Has anyone ever chosen different doctors for different procedures? My reasons are that Dr.H is the only doc that does a BL without a vertical scar. Add to that that I'm of mixed race with the tendency for keloid scarring, my thoughts are that the vertical scar will show up a lot on me. I love my boob size, I just don't like the sag. I'm currently a 38F. If I were to go down to my steady weight of 150lbs which is where I expect to be by the end of the summer, I'm usually a 36DDD. I'm pretty sure though that Dr. A will be my guy for the TT, BBL, LIPO but I'm teeter totering on whether or not I should make the haul to Texas for the BL because it's almost $10k. This is versus going for the lollipop lift with Dr. A who does amazing work and is half the price. If I do, I'll obviously break the surgeries months apart because no reputable surgeon that I know of is willing to do all those surgeries in one day! I'll keep you all posted on my consult with Dr. A and I'll see if I could post up pics of my weight loss thus far!

Totally caught your humor and I think you're hilarious! Thank you for sharing here on RealSelf. A 12-pound baby is enormous and anyone who gives birth to one of those punkins (meant in a completely endearing way, my babies were huge, too), should be able to get all that you're getting done!

angie, I told my husband that the mommy makeover is "reimbursement" for having our kids (lol). I gave birth to a toddler sized infant!

I really want this surgery so bad!

Lol! I followed you from Blonde in bluffton's profile and so glad I did. I also got your humor. I love, love, love your "reimbursement" comment! That will be my new word. I currently tell my husband they are my payment for giving him 5 beautiful and smart kids. Although we are both enjoying them, it was my body that did all the work.

ok ladies! today is my consult with Dr. Azurin. I'll make sure to update in the evening. I've lost another 5lbs since I put up those pics. I'm running 3 miles about three to four times a week and doing a ton of squats whenever the kids don't let me work out in peace. I'll make sure to update this evening with info on Azurin.

How did your consultation go?

Hi. A lot of the pics under Dr. A's "Reductions and Lifts" actually look bigger in the "after" pics. I looked at several and guess what I was viewing were mostly "lifts" because the women were not "big" to begin with. I really am impressed how Dr. H's patients have no scars! But the after pics still look a little big for my tastes. I will have the vertical scar. I hope it fades away.

Kapilani, thanks for your input. It means a lot! I guess I have some time to think about the BL. I'll be doing my TT, BBL, LIPO first . Actually, most of A's 'lifts' have implants. that's why they look so awesome but I just never thought about implants for me because I've always been huge up top. Seems silly to take out some of my boobs to stuff it back with implants right?

I'll be sleeping on the BL a little more. I know of one other member on here who did her BL with Dr.H and she looked awesome and is still happy with the results. I wish I knew more folks on here who did work with him though!

I know when I went for my initial consultation I just wanted a BL. But when he asked me a ton of questions he said he couldn't get what I wanted w/ a lift. My dr is known as the boob dr. He is anal about having everything perfect. But that's me I wish I had better advice.

aw blonde no worries! your input does help. I'm sort of at a cross roads about putting in implants. It'll give me the upper pole fullness I want but not sure about it. I posted a "ask a doctor" question. I'll give you the link it gets reviewed and put up by the administrators of this site. I took a boob pic! lol

miamimom, like you I am a bit skeptical about something new that only one Dr is doing. How long has he been doing it? If it's been a while do a reviews check to see if anyone has complained about the after effects years down the line. Like 5 to 10 years down the line. Does he have any patients who had them done years ago be willing to give him a reference where you can call them and ask questions? I also usually google, "Reviews Dr. Name". Or you can google "review and the name of procedure". I did visit his website and am impressed he can do that without leaving scars. And it also looks like he mostly does Breasts. It looks like the only TT he has done have been MM. That's a plus and makes his new procedure more likable if that is all he is doine. Practice makes perfect. Have you visited other doctors besides Azurin and Horndeski to get a second opinion about the implants? I have also heard others with your frame state that for the "look" they wanted, their doctors suggested implants. I know I need implants because I am completely deflated, but with your frame I would get a second (or is it a third) opinion. In the end, remember it's your decision. You just might not get the look you want without the implants, unless this doctor could do the procedure he promises would. I personally wouldn't do it unless he has been doing it for more than 5 to 10 years. But that is me, and I am the biggest scardy cat. Every procedure known to men was new at one time, so it might not be such a bad idea. ;-) Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide.

its4mejen - I think the suggestion of looking at past patients and researching exactly how long he's been doing is right on. Looks like I'm going to be doing a little bit more research on dr. h.
