Good afternoon ladies, just wanted to introduce myself, Im a married mom of 2.. just turned 40 weight fluctuates between 138-145ish... I just had my 2nd Baby in June of 2012 and my big 40 was in December, so I want to give myself the gift of getting my prebaby body back. I'm a short girl 5'1 but I carry my weight pretty well. Im still nursing my 7.5 month old so I put off the surgery til she was 9 months so I won't feel so gulity about possibly not being able to nurse and will pump and store some milk for her. I had lipo back in 2008 upper /lower abs; flanks and inner and outer thighs and was thrilled with my results so Im heading back for a 2nd round at the same doc. Recovery was 1 week with alot of rest!! but will see how it goes now that I have 2 tinys running around.. thankfully my 3 year old goes to school full time!

What are you having done?
February 1, 2013
I'm redoing my upper/lower abs, redoing flanks, this time I'm doing my back Lower and upper. I'm happy w the way my legs still look, I would love to have some fat put into my bottom but I've never been a big booty girl so I don't really know if it would be right for me!

Hi. I am having lipo on my entire thigh area next month. Can u tell me how u like your results? Are u getting exact same surgery again? Are u using a nj dr? I grew up in jersey... Englewood cliffs but now live on Long Island. I used a NYC dr who I loved. I had a tummy tuck and breast lift in sept and am amazed with results. Lipo scares me more. I am afraid the results won't be as drastic or my skin will sag!!! Can u tell me about your experience? Thank u!!!
February 4, 2013
My legs look great and still do... I don't have any saggy or hanging skin in the least, I have No dimpling or anything besides the tiny inscion scars that even look like I had work done to my thighs... I look very natural... I believe less is more in the leg area.. a little went a long way in my case! . No, I'm NOT redoing my legs. Yes, Im going back to the same surgeon I went to before. I had a wonderful expierence. I had alot of lipo done and I didnt feel pain afterwards at all. More like a heavy work out, I was very sore, but no pain to speak of!

Ria, I've had all the above and the TT and breast aug were a walk in the park. The liposuction I had on Jan 15th was very hard on me. My thighs are just now starting to calm down, but OMG it was painful. I had arms, flanks, inner/outer thighs, and upper abs done. The thighs were the most painful. BUT, I have to say that I am so so happy with my results. I'm seeing improvement everyday and the compliments are flying :)
February 12, 2013
U just scared me! The Tt was so hard for me. I had it done sept 19 and was not really 'ok' until beginning of November. I am only getting my legs done this time. How does your skin look? Are your legs much thinner? Where do u live?
February 5, 2013
Can I ask why your re-doing your upper/lower abs? Did it not work the first time? Do you possibly have your before/after of your thighs? Im so worried mine are not going to be what I wanted. Right now theyre still killing me.
February 5, 2013
My abs I'm redoing because I have had 2 pregnancies since 2008 so I regained some fat in those areas. I never really gained a significant amount of weight but am not happy w my abs now. I don't have any really great pictures of just my thigh area. Sorry
February 5, 2013
Oh and my abs looked great the first time!! Lol I had 2 babies after my surgery!!
February 12, 2013
Hi! Welcome! You look great! I'm having lipo of thighs and abdomen and having the fat transferred to my breast. I just turned the big 4-0 yikes! And had two babies c-section that I each nursed for a year. I FINALLY found a doctor that I love! Now it's just scheduling, money, etc. My thighs are my by far biggest concern so I'm so happy you posted your story! :) After lipo did you feel like your weight went to other areas like I've read about (I'm worried I'll get great big arms or something weird lol) or do you think it stayed away from those areas and you just want to be touched up in other areas? Good luck!!!
February 12, 2013
Thanks @ANewImprovedMe I appreciate it! it does go to other areas but in my case it didn't go back to my thighs! I haven't gained a ton of weight, but the weight I gained went to my flanks and abs.. my arms are a little bit fatter, but I believe that's my normal weight gain.. and not a cause of the previous lipo... my calves are a little larger and I do think that was part of post lipo weight, but remember I did have 2 babies AFTER my surgery! If you maintain a healthy /active life style you should be fine..
February 12, 2013
Hi anewimproved me. When are u having your lipo? I am doing thigh lipo march 6. I had a Tt and breast lift sept 19 and am so so happy.
February 12, 2013
ANewImprovedMe, If I were you, I would do implants instead of the fat transfer. Your gambling too much with how the outcome will be for each breast when it comes to transfering fat. I just went through all the lipo Jan 15th and I'm very happy with my results. If you have any questions, please let me know.

So I just spoke to my nurse coordinator, because I needed to inform her that I wanted to add my back.. she said probably for me I just needed lower.
Im so looking forward to this that the wait is almost unbearable.. I just keep focused.. I choose that date because we have a holiday built into the week.. less time off from work..I keep telling myself, patience, patience.. my nerves are fraying.. Im not nervous at all about the procedure.. I was well taken care of before and am nothing but confident everything will go well..everyone has there reservations and doubts.. especially being a mom now.. but Im so unhappy with myself that I have to do this..I hoping this improves my marriage also..low self esteem is for sure a mood killer.. Im rambling...it's one of those days were I wish it was this week.. and not in a month from now...blah...signing off...

Hi hottie! I heard that it's normal weight gain as well, but because the fat cells were sucked out where the lipo was it goes to wherever they still are - which is why I want my fat in my boobs - lol. :) I wouldn't give my kids back for the world - but man I wish I could have my pre-baby body! :) Ria, I'm hoping sometime before the summer - I'm traveling so finding time away from work along with a week long "vacation" is difficult with two little kids so trying to find a "good time" is driving me crazy! I've been thinking about it and researching it for 7 months now - I'm so ready!! Llturner - I have been researching fat transfer to the breast for - 7 months now! :) I know it's a bit of a gamble - but I think every elective surgery is a little bit. I'm really convinced that it's the doctor who performs the surgery that makes all the difference (which is why I'm traveling - I can't find anyone local that I would completely trust to do it) I've "met" some members on this board who swear by the procedure but it's always a gamble. I'm somewhat of a really sensitive person so I just know that I would "feel" implants in me. I think I've gotten over the fear of the fat injections - but now I'm worried about the lipo part of it, as this whole deal started because I hate my post 2nd child thighs and abs!!

Hi... ANewImprovedMe and ladies... I can't wait to get this over with..Im sure to most of you the feeling is mutual...
February 13, 2013
Ok Ladies so I posted some pics of me today.. to be able to compare later on post op.. sheesh.. I must really be brave because I don't even undress infront of my husband...

@Hottiebun: You look amazing even post 2 C/S! My pre-baby/pre-lipo tummy looks similar to your post C/S x2 pics! Amazing. But, I'm sure you will be thrilled with your post surgery body nonetheless and I support your decision. Soooo, I'm in a similar boat as you were in 2008. Haven't had kids yet and can't stand the idea of not having some contouring before conceiving, carrying, birthing, & breast-feeding two children. I'm thinking about conceiving the middle of next year. My questions are these: If you could do it all over again, would you still get the lipo in 2008 or wait until you finished having your children and breastfeeding? Do you think that having lipo made you at a higher risk for developing stretch marks? Even now, presurgery, do you like your tummy better/the same/or worse than you did before your first lipo? Thank you so much for your time and willingness to share.

Well thank you!!! I actually had my 1st daughter vaginally baby #2 decided she wanted to be breech so no choice but to do a c section and I was devastated especially that I had no scars anywhere!! So now to answer your question in 2008 I was miserable w my body and I wasnt expecting or wanting to have a baby for about a year or 2 or so I thought my then boyfriend and now husband apparently had other plans and I got pregnant in December about 6 months after my lipo. Yes, looking back I woul do it again, why u ask, because had I gotten pregnant w my per lipo body I would have gotten bigger then I did post lipo! I was scared to deaf about stretch marks but thanks to my surgeon he's a little more conservative I had enough room to grow my babybumps., I will tell you I did hear my skin under the surface ripping (no pain) but it was crazy!! Lol I only got a tiny bit of stretch marks on my hips. I'm still happy overall w my tummy and it looks Almost the same way it looked prior to my 2008 lipo so I expect the same or better results this time around!! I hope I answered all your questions!!
