I have been researching surgeons for my Mommy Makeover that I plan to have in the next 60-90 days. I am scheduling consultations with the following doctors/facilities: Dr. Philip Chang in Leesburg, Dr. Michael Brown in Ashburn and also with Parva Plastic Surgery Center in Leesburg. Has anyone used these physicians and could you please share your experience and costs?

My friend used parva and loved him. He had great results! I consulted with dr.brown but found him to be brusque

I'm a 44 year old mother of 2 and I have wanted at least a tummy tuck since the birth of my 2nd child over 20 years ago!!! This is absolutely a dream come true for me and I am SO excited! I'm still undecided on whether to have a breast lift only or a breast augmentation. I'm 5'7", 160 lbs and currently a size 38-D so I don't want or need bigger breasts, but I'm not sure I'll get the fullness I want in the top portion without implants. I'm hoping the doctor's will help me make this decision when I go for my consultations next month.

I also want and NEED lipo on my "love handles" and "back fat". Some of my friends say I'm absolutely crazy to even consider having cosmetic surgery but I've had low self esteem over my body image for years. Since I had my children at a young age, I've never got to wear that cute bikini and feel sexy. Any advice on do's and don'ts would be greatly appreciated! :)

I haven't seen your pics but look at my review I had my first set of implants without the full lift and really wish I would have done the lift at that time! This time I went with the full lift and 660cc high profile implants to give me more upper pole fullness

Thank you so much for your input! At some point I will get some pre and post op pictures posted. My husband doesn't think I need ANYTHING done to my breasts (or my lovely stretched mark stomach either...LOL) but I know over time, my breasts will continue to sag and lose volume so I want to get as much done at one time as possible so I don't have to go through the healing process more than once. I had both of my children natural child birth but I WILL avoid as much pain as possible...Ha! Thanks again for sharing :-)

If you went through natural childbirth, you've proven yourself. DO avoid pain as much as possible. There are great meds nowadays.

I'm thrilled for you that you're able to get this done. Please keep us posted on how it goes.

Thank you so much!! (Notice I changed my screen name? It seems more appropriate now...LOL) I haven't been on here much at all lately but now that my surgery is right around the corner, I'll have 2 weeks of sitting at home (bored and whining I'm sure...LOL) so I'll try to keep everyone updated on my progress.
