Hello my name is Gaby I'm 32 y/o mother of twins. I've decided to have a mommy makeover which includes. Breast lift, Gel implants, full tummy tuck and lipo on my upper and lower back. I'm scheduled for the end of the month and quite frankly I'm scared as all hell. It seems to me like alot of surgery at once. My doctor has assured me that it can be safely done given my size and overall health. He is a board certified surgeon with a very successful practice and has been voted best plastic surgeon in orlando a few times now. I guess all the horror stories on here don't help.

I had an extensive tt, breast aug, leg and knee lipo. I am so glad I did it all together! Two of the doctors I saw wanted to break up the surgeries and the one I chose who I think is most conservative suggested we do it all together. I appreciate it because I have limited down time. At 10 days post op I feel really good! I wish you lots of luck!

So it's less than 20 days till the surgery. I've been doing alot of reading and I'm now second guessing my choice of implants. I decided to go with the silicone gel low profile 375 cc implants. I'm afraid the low profile implants will not project as well and end up looking saggy. My surgeon fit me for both the low and moderate profile and said I would carry both well. The moderate implants would take me up to 420cc. Anyone have any experience with low profile implants?

Congrats on your decision to do this! There are so many more success stories than there are horror stories on here. I can understand your fears though and most people here have had the same thoughts. Have faith in yourself now because you have done your homework and picked a great PS. I only tried moderate and high profile and I'm glad I chose the high profile. I think either one would have worked for me but having just turned 49 I am THRILLED to have these boobies haha. The gel feels fantastic and real.

Today I had my PreOp appointment and final fitting for the implants. Everything went really well. I decided to go with the Moderate Profile silicone gel VS the low profile implants. I'm going with 375cc in my right and 425 in my left to achieve asymmetry as I have one breast bigger than the other. Got all my scripts called in and I'm checking off the stuff on my list. Now the count down begins, 12 days to go.

I'm just a few days away. The idea that I'm getting so much done to my body at once has really set in. I find that I'm stuck in neutral and can't seem to get anything ready, despite the time I have. I realize I need to post pics, but again, Im frozen. Monday will be here before I know it .
