30 Year Old Mother - Asymmetrical Breasts and Severe Stretch Marks- Mommy Makeover -COMPLETE :) :) :) Tampa, FL

All my life I have wanted larger (and symmetrical) breasts. I never was more than an A cup and I hated it. I had a son at 19 years old and the pregnancy took a huge toll on my body. I went from a size 0 (pre-baby) pant to a size 7 (post-baby) and had unsightly stretch marks. The stretch marks were so wide that a crashing wave at the beach one day ripped open a stretch mark and caused it to bleed. I never ever felt comfortable in my own skin and no matter how much I worked out I always had an excess of skin, and some fat in the tummy that would not go away. It took 9 long years before I was in the financial position to pay for my operation. In that 9 years I was able to do lots of research and I thought I knew EXACTLY what to expect. I was expecting tremendous pain, I was expecting that I would have regrets after surgery, I was expecting so many bad days. But I didn't care, I wanted it that BADLY. I had my surgery 5/13/15 and I couldn't be happier. My doctor was absolutely AMAZING. He was so professional, polite, caring, prompt, explanatory, an all around joy. I honestly couldn't have asked for better. The pain level was overall completely bearable and not at all what I was expecting. I would probably describe it as discomfort more than I would "pain". I think the worst part of the entire experience would be the 2nd day post op when my breasts were high and tight .. it caused some shortness of breath and was lots of pressure. My tummy tuck literally had no pain whatsoever. I will say though that I took my pain meds like clockwork, even setting an alarm thru the night to wake and medicate. Anyway, if you're looking for the right surgeon for you I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Diaco. He is truly an artist and is so skilled at what he does. He's like a magician. I cannot wait until I am fully recovered and can go shopping for new clothes.

Stitches are gone and I'm starting to stand up more straight.. I shaved my legs today for the first time post op!!! Weird thing I noticed yesterday during a massage cycle is that I am lactating! Both sides! Ha! Still happy as can be though & have follow up with dr D on Tuesday!

I'm so happy with the way everything is coming together. I've spent more time and money in Victoria's secret in the last week than I have in my whole life. Next appointment with Dr. Diaco is the 19th
