48 Yr Old Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck - Sacramento, CA
I saw Dr Lim for a breast reduction and tummy tuck after having 5 children with the last child just 5 yrs ago, and then natural 100+ lb weight loss. I've had shoulder pain and back pain due to breast and body size for years. I'm 5'9 and starting weight at beginning was 323 lbs. lost naturally over 100. And after BR and TT I'm at 165lbs. With so far 2.4 wks post TT I've lost 6 inche in lower abdomen (apron) and tummy. And after 4 months BR am a 36C. So far I'm pleased. Lots of
Was expecting a life about 2inches higher on my chest wall. My lateral chest wall grew 4 inches with no weight gain. Now a reduction to finally get to a c/d? Just tell me what went wrong here? I mean nearly everything it feel like. No compression was given or silicone. Scars are hypertrophic with way too much tension. Can see internal staples in incision line.
I am 45 now and have had relatively nice breasts for most of my life. I was a perky C cup in my 20's, had a baby in my late 20's, gained some weight and went up to a D/ DD cup in my 30's. After breastfeeding my 2nd child for 18 months in my late 30's, the girls were an uncomfortably large DDD and gravity had taken a toll.

Tummy Tuck: I don’t like my results at all
So excited. In 5 more months I can get rid of this pannus I have been carrying with me for the last 18 years! I have chosen to get my surgery done in Mexico. Cosmed clinic has been in business for 30 years and they have amazing facilities and reviews. Updated on 3 Apr 2019: I have had 3 children all csections, have lost 80 pounds and no matter how hard I work out my belly stays. I have researched so many different drs and I am hoping I am making the right choice! Updated on
lost 125lbs 3 years ago doing a meal replacement type diet that my insurance paid for. I was planning on being a fabulous babe afterwards. Instead I was a grotesque monster and could not even look at myself naked. My boobs were the worst. After breastfeeding 5 kids, wt loss and age I just had wrinkled empty sacks. For a long time I would cry every time my husband tried to touch them. I had always had large breasts which I knew he loved and it just killed me to be so ugly now.
