My surgery was a mini tummy tuck- I was so tired...

WORTH IT$19,000

My surgery was a mini tummy tuck- I was so tired of always having a pot-belly from the pregnancy, nipple reduction -I had large nipples that were always at-attention, and breast augmentation- being an A-cup, and then after breast feeding, my used to be small but perky breasts were no longer perky and I always dreamed of being a nice C. cup!

I am now 5 months post-op and very happy with the healing results as well as the continued follow-up care.  My belly is super flat, with relatively small scar, breasts look wonderfully natural, and the reduced nipple size is brilliant and perfectly sexy.

I'm glad this went so well for you! What kind of implant did you go with?

I went with Mentor Silicon. Actually all 4 Dr's I met with on consults before settling with Dr. Colen,... all recommended Silicon over saline.

Thanks for posting. You look great!! I'm wishing I had done my chest too!

Thanks. By the way if you can afford it (both time and money!)I suggest doing the chest a little late ron, in about a year. The recovery from the chest is really much easier then the tummy!

Did you lose sensitivity in your nipples or breasts? That is my fear. Also, did you do a lift or augmentation or both? I don't see any scars.

I only had implants, no lift. Implants were inserted through areolas, and those scars are gone altogether, they healed so quickly. As for sensitivity, there was numbness in the beginning, for at least the first 4 mo. These days I am actually a little uncomfortable with nipple touching, need to be very gentle they are super sensitive, but not in a good way, so my husband needs to be careful when caressing them. From what I talked about with the dr, it is still a part of the healing process. Breasts feel even better to the touch and honestly that’s within about the last month, so sensitivity for the breasts is right on track.

Have a new computer, so need to install some software so I can upload some photos for you, hope to do that tonight! At about 5 weeks I was a little 'doughy' still, but loved the flatness and lack of extra skin, then by 3-4 months perfection!

I am still ridiculously happy with my results, good luck with your research and results. I went to 4 Dr's, and when we met with Dr. Colen (my husband came to each appointment) we both left the office and said we found our Dr. He made comments such as, "...if you want to go double D, I am not your Dr. I look for the best and most natural results." We did not see enormous price differences for our quotes (but perhaps that has to do with being in the NYC region?), definitely different suggestions for how they would approach the surgery, so that was curious.
