After my divorce I decided to take care of saggy, uneven breasts.During the consult, I had the surgeon look at my abdomen. I had alot of sagging skin and wrinkly stretch marks around my belly button, mainly due to marital separation/divorce stress. The surgeon sugg a tummy tuck. That seemed a bit radical. I've seen plastic surgery shows where they do a seemingly simple procedure of making a circular incision around the belly button and pulling the skin in and making esentially a new belly button and voila! I tight tummy!

I was told it wasnt just a skin issue. I needed skin removal and the "re-corseting" of my ab muscles. That procedure seemed scary to be! I gave it some thought though. I just knew that after surgery and having these amazing, perky, c-cup breasts, i would be even MORE unhappy with my stomach. You know when you your walls painted and then how much worse your carpet looks? Then I would have to have a second surgery and recovery. So I decided to just "Go For It." One sugery, one anesth..

I had an amazing result! No major pain or complications. The worst part was having the 2 tummy drains pulled out. Hurt like hell!!

My breasts scars are almost gone. I had implants and a lift on one side. I'm 4 months post surg. My abd scar, which goes hip to hip and just extended where my c-section scar was. The scar looks pretty good too. No raised areas, various purple to pink coloring on it.

I have never felt so good about my body! I'm 44 and have a better body than I've ever had. I would recommend this for anyone! Life is too short to not feel fantastic about ALL of you!
