I gained nearly forty pounds after having two kids. I got back into the gym once my youngest child started preschool and lost the weight I had gained. I breastfed both of my children. The weight loss and breastfeeding left me with deflated breast. This is my reason for wanting these procedures done. My husband and I did the research on the area's top plastic surgeons and decided to see Dr. Morea. I also had girlfriends that went to him that were completely satisfied with his work. I am extremely happy with my results of the breast lift and implants! The recovery was not too painful. I was just really sore for a couple of weeks. I felt like I had done too much weight with the bench press machine in the gym. I'm truly amazed with how my breast look now. They look incredible! I haven't been this excited and happy with my body since before having kids. I would recommend Dr. Morea to anyone looking to have these procedures done. He is very professional and a brilliant plastic surgeon. I will post pixctures that I took each week to show you my progress. I just can't hardly wait to see the final results.

Congratulations on your weight loss and your surgery! I'm happy you've had a great experience and that your recovery has been smooth. What type and size implants did you get to achieve your new look? Looking forward to your pictures!

I'm so sorry for the delayed response. I have been super busy with both kids out of school then our family went to Hawaii for three weeks. I'm going back and posting pics along with the dates of my recovery story. Dr. Morea gave me 450cc high profile smooth and round silicone gel implants by Mentor. I asked for a small D. I think he gave me exactly what I wanted. It's been three months since having these procedures done and I am so extremely pleased with the way my breast look and feel. I'm so confident now! I love my new boobies!

Okay, you are one hot mama! I absolutely love your bikini pictures. Thank you for taking the time to post them. So glad you could enjoy your new look while on vacation. I realize you're busy with the kiddos...but next time you post, can you please share your workout regime with us? You look fantastic everywhere! ;)

Thank you Beth! The kids are back in school and I now have the time to update my review with photos and answer questions. My workout routine is pretty intense! I drop the kids off at school and spend two to three hours at the gym. I run on the treadmill off and on for an hour and then lift weights for an hour or more. I plank and do leg raises in between weight lifting sets. This keeps my heart rate up and working my core. I have tried every diet out there and the only one that actually worked for me is the 6 small low calorie meal diet. I basically shrunk my stomach this way. This boost metabolism and you never get hungry because you eat every couple of hours. I never get a food coma and I maintain my weight this way. It's more of a lifestyle change than diet. I will never go back to three large meals a day. Dr. Morea gave me the confidence I needed to stay focused on eating healthy and exercising. I haven't been this happy with my body since being a teenager. Life is GOOD!

You do look amazing!! You are an animal in the gym :-). I work out and do the small 6 meals a day, but I'm not sure I could ever be as dedicated in the gym. Kudos to you!! Congratulations! What are your height and weight stats?

I agree that 3 large meals a day just doesn't cut it. I need protein every few hours! I have almost identical stats as you...but 9 years older with 3 kids that keep me so busy, I've lost all my muscle tone. Now that they're back in school, as of today, I plan to start focusing on getting back my muscle tone. Thanks for the great work out tips. You look wonderful. So glad you feel great inside and out! 

BTW, what did your dad say about your surgery? I see in your pictures that you went to the beach with him this summer.

P.S. Can you put your stats, implant size and some workout tips in an actual review "update?" You can even cut and paste if you're short on time. Sometimes this helpful info gets lost in the comments section! ;)

Thanks Beth :) Omgosh my daddy is the coolest! The picture of us with him holding his surfboard is actually his facebook profile picture. Daddy is so proud of my weight loss success and how strong I was in my decision to have the surgery. He actually took me the day of surgery. He was joking with the staff and making everyone laugh. He was excited for me about getting these procedures done. He knew how unhappy I was about my breasts. I tell my daddy and mom everything. We are a really close family. I'm so lucky! I will update my review with the information you mentioned. I'll also post some more pictures with me in some cute dresses to show how my breasts are settling and looking more natural. Good luck to you in the gym! I just love what working out and eating right has done to my body and energy levels. I plan on sticking to my routine and diet forever :)

Thanks Princess :) I'm 5 feet 6 1/2 and 120 pounds, size 2. I petite, fit and skinny. I was a size 8 and 158 pounds before the weight loss. I stretched out my tatas so much from the weight gain and so that is why I needed the breast lift. I'm trying to gain muscle weight now. I'm skinny enough and I'm not complaining at all. I love it. I just want to body sculpt now by continuing high reps and low weight for my upper body. I don't want to get bulky with my upper body, although I would like to gain more mass with my lower body, especially my booty! I have a flat butt! I'm doing heavy weights and lots of squats to try and bulk it up so it will match my 32D tatas. I would like to be more proportional. If I can't achieve this in the gym then I am considering going back to Dr. Morea for silicone butt implants. I'll keep everyone posted. :)

I've got the most perfect, beautiful 32D breast... I'm working so hard in the gym to get my booty to match but if it doesn't happen in 6 months then I will be going back to Dr. Morea. He is so amazing!!! I will feel so complete and proportional if I had this done. We'll see?

Hi fitnessmom. If you have an Instagram you can follow zoelivelovelift She has a build a better booty program which I purchased (I think it was $20) and it SO works! Just look at her before and after pics on there. I think it's a 6 week program. I did it for 3 weeks (and I won't lie I cheated a little and didn't do the work outs to the max) and saw a very big difference! It's all hand held weights. I do plan to start over once I heal from my BL and BA Good luck. Xoxox

Just now seeing your comment! Thank you and diet has a lot with my flat tummy. I lost the weight and maintain a slim fit size 2 on the 6 small meal a day diet. Ab exercises give me the ripped look. I want more abs. It's a lot of work but I'm very determined and I will get there.

Talking About sizes, aré you still size 2? I was size 2 for the last 4 years and Now they do not fit anymore :( I was looking just to FILL my pants .. :(

So far yes! I am a 2 dress size and size 3 jeans. My waist has not changed, just my booty size. I wear stretchy skinny fit pants though if that makes a difference. My hips did not change at all. My booty however has big time! I love it! I have read that you can go through changes and I'm just 2 weeks post op so I'm not going to get too excited until the six month mark. Then I will know the final results.

Thank you! I'm so happy I did this! My results and recovery was a breeze. It was not anything like I thought! I got lucky and got a really, really good doctor!
February 18, 2015
What a great story! I agree with the soreness- like going too heavy on chest day.
User Avatar

Thank you! There was a lot more cutting involved with my BA and it actually was a longer recovery and more soreness than my butt implants. It makes sense because doc had to resize my nipples and cut off a lot of stretch out skin with my BA.

Dear Fitness Mom , I would like to thank you for sharing your experience. I saved your post in my favorite (lol) so I can come back to it and be confident that my surgery will be successful as yours and that I don't have to be worried. I'm new in this forum and saw some post that discouraged me at the point that I doubt to have my lifting and brest augmentation done. I wasn't aware of this specific diet you do so I'm going to check it online as well ;) you have inspired me (I hope that doesn't sound too cheesy) thanks again

No cheesy at all sweetheart:) I'm a North Carolina Southern Bell and I'm here for y'all through this journey to become more confident and not so worried. I read many reviews that scared me as well but after a few of my girlfriends shared their positive experience with my doc then I felt much better. I was back in the gym one month post op but I didn't do anything upper body. I did the treadmill and lower body. It was two months before I started back with upper body. I admit my butt implant recovery was much faster and less painful. I was back in the gym one month post op doing leg and booty exercises. A breast lift is very reconstructive and a lot more cutting.... But so worth it! I'd do it all over ever year if I had to. Choosing a very experienced and skilled surgeon is everything. Do your research on many docs before deciding on one. Good luck:)

I just scheduled my breastlift/augmentation and I am a work-out fiend as well. I am concernded that I'll gain weight because of all the time off after surgery. How was it for you? Did you take 2 months off?
