  • 24 Oct 2011

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.

My surgery was a mini tummy tuck, nipple reduction (I had large nipples that were always at-attention), and breast augmentation (mommy-make-over). I researched many doctors and met with numerous. My husband came to every single consult. I received this doctor’s information on recommendation of someone who had breast augmentation 6 years ago and she had nothing but the highest accolades for Dr. S. Colen. Once we met with Dr. Colen, my husband and I, both knew, hands-down, we had met our doctor. All of my questions were answered, when I had questions via phone or a request to meet in person I was accommodated with great speed. The surgery and recovery met my every hope and expectation. Having an accredited operating room on site is such a huge bonus to the patient. It means everyone on staff is dedicated to just you. And in case something does go wrong you have the peace of mind of knowing that Dr. Colen has hospital rights at approximately 7 of the major NYC hospitals. Thank you Dr. Colen.

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!

Would you mind posting pics? Would love to see what I have to look forward to. I'm a little over a week after my surgery and still really swollen. Glad you are happy with your results!

Pictures posted! Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting. You look great!! I'm wishing I had done my chest too!
Stamford52 18 Jan 2012
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.
Stamford52 18 Jan 2012
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.

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.
