I cant comment on your butt augmentation but im sure your surgeon could give you details.sorry i cant be more helpful. good luck in your decision. keep me posted. Im now 8 weeks post op and looking forward 2 getting back to my normal gym routine. regards michelle

thankyou so much for your story heather,It's amazing the difference this surgery CAN have on your self confidence. I've just had an extended tt with major muscle repair,and a breast lift performed by a Mr Nicholas Rhodes in elland hospital yorkshire. Having previously lost over 140 pounds I was LEFT with a saggy pouched tummy and elongated pendulas breasts.Although I am from Ireland Mr Rhodes came highly reccommended,and after meeting him whilst he was in ireland on a family vacation,that alone made me realise just how patient focused he was,to give up precious family time to discuss my ideas and thoughts on the surgery.All i may add at no cost for his time, my consultation lasted 1hr 15mins. During which time all aspects of my dislike of my body, my hopes and fears and expectations were addressed.This surgeon has dramatically changed my life,and although im only 10 days post op,I feel like a new women.At my initial consultation I didnt consider having any work performed on my breasts,and didnt dicuss this with my surgeon,however after reading posts on this website and others, I decided to go with the voice of experiences fom other post tummy tuck patients with major weight loss through diet and excercise,almost all of whom combined tt with breast lift at the same time.those who did not.Later returned to have breasts lifted as because their tummys now looked so perfect,The beauty was somehow disproportionate by these pendulas breasts hanging above it. I contacted Mr Rhodes by telephone to require wether he could possibly perform both surgeries simultaniously,he said it could be done however he would dicuss it at lenght when he seen me the day pre op tt to have screening tests and blood work carrried out before surgery.When we met for my pre op tests.He examined my breasts and asked about my change of decision as i had previously not even mentioned any breast work whatso ever. H e was happily convinced that i had thought long and hard before jumping into my decision and that i was making an informed choice. I did not want any augmentation to my breasts but longed for fullness and a higher position.Mr Rhodes explained that because all my fullness was at the bottom of my breast he could not fully guarantee complete fullness to top of breast with an implant,however alot of the techniques he could apply would only be possible, depending on the quality and movement of my breast tissue,which he added would only be apparent when he would see my breasts in surgery.He assured me, that he would do his utmost to give me the most natural and full breast possible. I spent 6.5 hrs in theatre. When I awoke in recovery,i was both shocked and delighted to find i was completely pain free this has continued post op .I was prepared for major traumatic pain and discomfort,but i actually have to admit my c-section with my youngest daughter was 20 times more painfull.I have followed mr rhodes post surgery advice tsking paracetamol at regular intervals. resting but also light pottering about the garden walking to prevent leg clots.And besides from the expected post surgery swelling all is fantastic.My wounds are healing splendidly,no infection of any sort,and the neatness of the stitches on my body is unbelieveble. NOTHING HOWEVER could have prepared me for the first time i glimpsed under my surgical gown.and i came face to face with the most gorgeous beautiful pert soft natural and full rounded breasts.I still cant believe that this wonderful man was able to sculpt such beauty from such a poor specimen. This genious man took my low breast tissue and attached it to my upper chest wall thus giving the apperance of fullness.He then moved my nipples up 4 inches and removed the excess skin.I cant stop looking at these beautful creations,im SO gratefull to all those who posted about deciding to have both ops.I have spent ten years loathing my ugly body.and now have a body which looks better than it did in my teenage years.I havent even mentioned yet that I delayed looking at my tummy for days,as i still couldnt get past the excitement of my breasts.Oh what joy. MR wonderful Rhodes removed 3.5 kg of skin, fat and tissue from my tummy he did some lipo at the flanks to make sure i had a smooth contoured finish,he also crafted me a cute new adorable belly button to match.This surgery ecperience has transformed my life I just turned 40 years old in february and feel and look 15years younger/Although only 10 days post op Im happier than ive ever been.This experience is equal in measure to my joy on my wedding day,and the birth of my two wonderful daughters.I contacted Mr Nicholas Rhodes as a caterpillar pre metamorphis.This gifted talented,compassionate and perfectionist surgeon has turned me into the most beautiful butterfly.No amount of money could buy this feeling.I will be forever grateful and endebted.If you have struggled like me I hope this post will help you to make the decision to change how you feel about yourself in your life.I wish you angel blessings and pray you will be blessed with a surgeon like My WONDERFUL MR NICHOLAS RHODES AT SPIRE ELLAND HOSPITAL LEEDS ENGLAND.The whole process from start to finish has been first class in every aspect.I look forward to recommending this surgeon to everyone i know who wants WORRY FREE FANTASTIC RESULTS.
