25 y/o, No Kids, Mild Tuberous Breast Augmentation, Over the Muscle, 500cc Silicone

My breasts were mildly tuberous (pointy, slightly drooped, puffy nipples) which basically means that your breast envelope is too tight to allow your breast tissue to fall underneath, aka NO underboob, and it causes your nipples to be herniated with your boob fat. I always wanted them corrected as well as much larger, since i’m a larger curvy girl and was rockin AA’s. awful. I went to my consult on 12/5/18 and my surgeon told me that because of the shape, i would have to go high

I'm Wondering if I'm Going to Develop an Addiction to Cosmetic Correction Now -Pittsfield, MA

I had a tummy tuck with Dr Michaels. The whole process was really easy, I felt comfortable with him, and I went from pre-op to table in less than two weeks (my choice.) everyone was very kind and I felt supported. Recovery was very manageable with a pain pump/ I did not take pain killers. There was no compression garment as I did not have lipo done, just plication and excise of skin. The drains are still in, hopefully one is coming out tmrw (the surgery was last Friday 4/22,

Very, Very Happy with my Full Tummy Tuck

Had a tummy tuck with muscle repair 6 days ago. Was off narcotic pain meds in 2 days, barely needed any Tylenol after that. I had 3 children who stretched my body beyond all recognition, and now I have a flat stomach and a brand new adorable belly button. It is true, that you cannot feel your abdomen after the tummy tuck, and may never feel the center of it ever again, but it is a small trade off for the ability to wear clothes that fit right again, and to have the confidence

I couldn't wait to have this done - fingers crossed

I couldn't wait to have this done. I am 52, 5'5" tall and have weighed arond 120 pounds my whole life. My skin just isn't aging well and seems to want to sag. Bad genetics i guess. I did a neck lift with fat transfer. Below is day of surgery and day after photo. Looks great but, as soon as i took compression wrap off to take a shower I felt something release under my chin. I went to the doctors to have stitched removed and told him and he said it looks great. I go back

23 Yrs, 5'4 145 Lbs, 1 Kid, 60 Lb Weight Loss - Pittsfield, MA

Hello all! I am very new with this but I am sooo excited for my tummy tuck. I had my consult about a week ago to move forward with abdominoplasty and possible muscle repair. I gained 60 lbs with my pregnancy and have the ample stretch marks to prove it. I have since then lost the 60 lbs, but ideally need to lose 20 more to get to the ideal bmi. My max weight was 201 lbs the day I went into labor. I'm back down to about 145 but need to be around 125-130 lbs for the best

Age 62, Tummy tuck done after 60 pound weight loss

Thank you all for posting your stories. I have booked my tt with muscle repair and have become obsessed with reading about everyone else's. I have lost 60 pounds over the last few years through changing my eating and exercise habits. Still would like to lose 20 or 30 more, but have been stable for awhile and have decided not to wait any longer to get rid of my apron of hanging skin. One question: any golfers out there? How long did you wait after your tt to golf again? I can imagine
