Behzad Parva, MD

Five stars is not enough for Dr. Parva and his incredible team! I went to Dr. Parva for a breast augmentation. I immediately felt comfortable - felt that all my questions were valid and answered fully. I felt that Dr. Parva and his team were knowledgable, but also didn't overwhelm me with all the science or flashiness that can often come in a plastic surgeon's office.

I had no nerves on surgery day - I knew I was in good hands! My recovery has been easy (knock on wood!) and I am thrilled with how everything has turned out! I would go back to Dr. Parva and his team again and again - I cannot recommend him enough!

Exceptional Plastic Surgeon!
I recently had the privilege of experiencing the incredible talents of Dr. Parva, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the results. I have done my breasts with other plastic surgeons, but Dr. Parva has given me the look and feel that I have been looking for my breasts for over 20 years. Dr. Parva is caring, honest, kind and helped me overcome a terrible experience that I had with another surgeon who performed my breast revision in 2022. He genuinely cares about his patients' satisfaction and happiness, and it shows in everything he does. During my initial consultation, he took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the options available to me. He didn't push any procedures on me; instead, he provided honest and realistic expectations, ensuring that I made informed decisions.
If you're in search of a plastic surgeon who combines expertise, artistry, and a genuine commitment to patient care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Parva. My experience with him has been life-changing, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Parva performed my revision in June 2023. I have amazing results. Dr. Parva is not just a plastic surgeon; he's a life enhancer and a true master of his craft. Thank you, Dr. Parva, for giving me back my confidence!

Dr. Parva is talented, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and honest. He did a phenomenal job with my breast augmentation - and I healed quickly. He takes his time answering questions during consultations and checkup appointments and even has a special imaging, which shows fairly accurate before and after 3D photos with various sizes. I recommend Dr. Parva highly!

I had considered breast reduction surgery for a long time, but this year at age 57, I decided that if I was ever going to do it, I’d better do it soon. I had done a lot of online research and my plan was to get consults with 2 or 3 plastic surgeons before making a decision. My first consultation was with Dr. Parva and by the time I finished with that appointment, I ditched the idea of meeting with other doctors and decided to work with Dr. Parva. This is so unlike me! But Dr. Parva made me feel instantly at ease. He was very patient about answering all of my questions and I never felt railroaded into something that I wasn’t ready for. I read the dozens and dozens of positive reviews of his work and saw before and after photos that looked better than most I had seen online from other doctors.
Besides Dr. Parva’s obvious surgical skills, I was also sold on his fabulous office staff. Every single person I encountered was warm, friendly, organized, and very, very competent. You can have the best doctor in the world, but if you can’t deal with the office staff it can make things very difficult. I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ve ever dealt with such a terrific staff. They are so on top of everything and their communication skills are top-notch. Stess made it very easy to work with my insurance to get coverage and made sure to keep in communication with me until we had approval for the procedure. Sarah is the all-around go-to person for getting all the moving parts organized between the doctor and the surgical facility; she also was great at calming my jitters. Those are just two on the team, but all were outstanding.
I am now almost a week post-surgery and have had my first follow-up visit. Even though I know it will be many months before I can see final results, I am feeling great and am thrilled with what Dr. Parva has accomplished for me. My only regret is that I didn’t do this years ago. I highly recommend Dr. Parva.

Dr Parva and his staff are like no other office I have been too. I have been to many of the practices in the area, but no one came close to the experience I received here. Very honest, friendly and they are not pushy. Dr Parva encouraged me to come in for a second consultation because what he recommended was not what I initially thought i needed and had come in for. I felt so comfortable and my husband really appreciated the fact he spent so much time with us and encouraged us to come back. I am still considering my options, but hands down, this practice will be the one I choose.

I had such a great experience at Parva Plastic Surgery for my Diva treatment. The staff were all so kind and welcoming. I am a 44 yo mom of 3. In addition to having some leaking when i would workout I just didn’t feel as pretty & sexy as I once did. After my 1st treTment I saw some changes. I didn’t feel the urge to pee my pants, and things seemed a bit more pleasurable. By my 3rd treatment I felt much tighter and was more lubricated during intimate moments with my husband. Feels more like when we were newlyweds.

Words CANNOT describe just HOW AMAZING Dr. Parva and his entire office staff are!!!!! Even though I wanted this procedure so badly I could taste it, I still had some fear and intimidation towards the actual process. After all, it IS major surgery and I had never experienced anything like that before. From start to finsh, however, Dr. Parva was there every step of the way, addressing my concerns and making me feel totally confident and comfortable in my decision. His office staff (Petra, Rose, Marny, Stess and Linda) were SO unbelievably supportive and helpful, and made me stress-free throughout all of the appointments, paperwork and financing. During the ACTUAL procedure, I couldn't have been in better hands, whatsoever. From the anesthesiologist team, to the pre and post-op nurse squad, I couldn't have felt more at home and well taken care of. Now, as a result, I feel like the happiest and most confident woman, EVER. A MILLION gold stars and thumbs up from this girl right here!!!!!

Consultation 05/02/2013
My consultation is coming up on Thursday. I am so excited. I am 40 years old and have a set of twins that are 7 and a 4.5 year old diva princess who was over 9 pounds at birth! I am 5'1" and approximately 127 pounds right now. Hoping to shed 7 pounds before the big day! I have very stretched out skin on my abdomen and the dreaded skin hangover. I was over 52 inches around with my twin pregnancy, and my body just couldn't bounce back. I've done lots of research already, and I can't wait to get my official surgery date scheduled. I also am very interested to see what the doc says about how much muscle revision is necessary. I've hear so many good things about my doc, so I am very confident in his abilities - apparently he is an artist of the belly button. We'll see.

Updated on 1 May 2013:
Consultation and Pre-Op all in one! I got a call from the patient coordinator, and she asked me if I would like to have my date moved up because they had a postponement. The new date???? Monday, May 6th! WHOA! This was yesterday, and I hadn't even had my consult. So - we did everything today including taking "before" pics. I'm all set as far as they are concerned - money is paid and now I am waiting to hear from the surgery center tomorrow. I'm making my lists and gathering my supplies as quickly as possible. At least I won't have too much time to get nervous.

Updated on 4 May 2013:
I've spent the last two days getting ready! My surgery will be at 8:30 am on Monday. I have to be there at 7:30 am. Since the surgical center is in Lansdowne (about 40 minutes away), we will need to leave about 6:30 am.

I've been cleaning the house like a crazy person and doing all the laundry. I will do a last minute clean up tomorrow, and we'll go to the grocery store tomorrow afternoon.

I was told to take a shower the night before using hibicleanse (I think?!) and then repeat in the morning. No lotions, hair spray, blah, blah, blah. The time estimate for the surgery is 2.5 hours. Dr. Parva said I would have one drain and the pain pump. I will come home with a catheter which hubby will have to remove on Tuesday morning. I will not use a binder, but will be released to use a compression garment at my post op appointment. My compression garment arrived yesterday, and is quite lovely. :D

I'm all set with my granny panties (haha - not really granny) and most of my supplies. I actually think I'm only missing my prescriptions. lol Here's my list of recovery stuff:
large water "jug" for drinking tons of water
paper surgical tape
pads for incision care
pillows and blankets for recliner
throat lozenges
face wipes
lip balm
gloves
hand sanitizer
face moisturizer
note pad/pen
animal crackers
gas-x, senekot, milk of magnesia
"granny panties"
white tank tops (man style) - easy to remove, cheap and can be bleached or tossed if need be
zip front sports bra - I don't like to be completely braless but don't like to sit around in an underwire, either

Not sure what else I put in my basket. But I'll be setting up my little recovery area tomorrow night. We've been talking to the kids about the fact that I'm having surgery.

I also made arrangements for the twins to be dropped at school and possibly picked up depending on timing. Guess that's it for now.

Updated on 6 May 2013:
I'm 1 day post op. It's almost Tuesday morning. lol I can't sleep so I thought I'd post my update.

We got to the surgical center at 7:30 am. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, and before I knew it - I was back in pre-op. Regular stuff back there... blood pressure, temp, id bracelets, change into robe. They gave me a nice warm blanket and turned on the TV for me. Dr. Parva came in and marked me up, and from there, a stream of people came in and out. They were all so nice.

The time came, and they gave me some awesome med in my IV. I kissed the family bye, and that's all I remember before I woke up in recovery. Stage 1 recovery was great and they kept me loaded up with dilaudid. Once my oxygen rate was stable, they sent me to stage 2 recovery where I had some applesauce and ginger ale. They got me all set up, and off we went home. The ride home was uneventful, and I've been in my recliner ever since.

I did walk around a little bit. I have a catheter which will be removed today (Tuesday). I have one drain which has been very bloody and draining about 38-40 ml every 4 hours. The fluid is starting to clear up, and I hope that continues. Dr. Parva said as I start to walk around, the drain will collect more fluid before dwindling down.

One of the moms from my Daisy troop set up a meal sign up list, so we got our first meal last night. It was a hit with the girls and hubby. I'm so thankful we don't have to worry about cooking!

Updated on 8 May 2013:
Last night I finally got some sleep! I also got up alone twice to go to the bathroom and did not take any pain meds. Today I took a Percocet plus 4 ibuprofen this morning and the repeated at 3:30.

Hubby took me up to take a shower this morning. Handled the steps ok, but once we got the bandages off I felt like I was going to pass out. Soooooo.... no shower. My head is so itchy! Ugh! Anyway, I was able to look at my belly button which had some fresh blood and also the incision which had some caked blood and one spot that had some fresh blood. My drains putting out less, and sometimes it's yellow but mostly reddish with clots here and there.

I emailed the doc today and was reassured that all sounded fine. So I guess on to day 3. The recliner is getting to be a pain in the ass. Literally.

Updated on 9 May 2013:
Finally go that shower today! It was great! My hubby is such an awesome caregiver!

I still have the original tape out on my incision during surgery, so it's getting kinda bloody. Of course, I'm tripped out that there might be necrosis, so I keep searching the web about it. Ugh. I'm sure it's just fine.

The drain is producing less fluid. It's still watery red. The drain exit wound is seeping watery red liquid as well.

That's it for today! I am posting pics!

Updated on 11 May 2013:
Well, I'm 5 days post op, and I'm clean again. Well, I'm showered again. lol Yesterday was a cruddy day pretty much. I felt constipated, and I was worried about my drain site leaking. I did a lot of Internet searching and found out that maybe the drain was clogged. I stripped it, and it actually seems to be doing muchhhhh better.

We took the pain pump out yesterday. I almost hurled. It was easy enough, but I had NO idea that the catheters were so far in - like 12"!!! But it's nice that I am not all taped up anymore. Now I'm using that little bag to hold my drain.

Got my shower in this morning and shaved my legs. Yay! I relaxed after getting out and then used the blow dryer on my incision. I noticed the tapes are starting to fall off. I guess we'll try to keep them on another couple of days until I get to my post op.

Other than that, I'm still rocking the recliner. I'm starting to feel isolated from everyone else. Ugh. I miss snuggling with my 4 year il. :-/

Updated on 12 May 2013:
So last night I was really freaked out because my drain was leaking RED blood from the drainage site, and when I stripped the tubing, there was RED blood in the bulb. SCARY! (to me!) Dr. Parva called me right back. He said to go ahead and put on my compression garment, and not to worry. So, I tried to put on my very lovely compression garment, and my husband tried to try and get me into it as well, but it was tooooooooo small!!! OH NO!!!

Off hubby went to buy me a plain ol white binder from Walgreens. Thank goodness they had one. We wrapped me up, and I laid down. A little more blood came out through the night.

Today I've been feeling ok. The tubing has seemed to be empty most of the day which, of course, made me freak out. I called Parva again, and he reassured me he thinks all is well. He said he thinks a localized place in there is bleeding out, I guess. All I know is I can't wait to get to my post op tomorrow. 7 days is too long for a gal like me to wait!

I took my morning pain meds as usual, but then skipped on the afternoon meds. I went ahead and took the ibuprofen at 6pm, and will add a Percocet in a few minutes to make sure I sleep well. I only have 1 more dose of antibiotic left. And that's that. Happy Mother's Day!

Updated on 12 May 2013:
BTW - it totally looks like someone colored all over me with yellow marker...... bruising is getting darn colorful!

Updated on 13 May 2013:
What a great day so far! I got up feeling pretty good today. I took my last antibiotic and then got a shower. My tape pretty much came off all on it's own, so I trimmed it up a bit. Put on a bra and make-up, too! Woot!!

We set off to Target and picked up a couple of spanx-type items, and then headed to my post op appointment. I got changed into that spa type robe in Dr. Parva's office, and we waited for him to come in. When he arrived, he had me lay down, and before I knew it, he had pulled my drain out! I didn't even know he was going to do that. He said I look good. Told me to wear my compression garments and come back in 3 weeks. Wow! He also gave me some ScarGuard and said to use it daily once all the scabs are gone.

I can't believe what an absolute relief it is for that drain to be gone!! I just feel so much better! I moved out of the recliner to the couch, and I plan on sleeping in bed tonight! Yay!!!

Updated on 14 May 2013:
Let's see..... It's been a regular kind of day. I've had much less pain medicine today, and maybe that's why I'm such a grump. I went to my meeting this morning which was good.

I'm wearing the one piece garment with a shapewear top over it trying to get some good compression. I'm super swollen today. Hubby bought me 2 more garments at Target today. I'm not sure if ill keep either. I'd like to go to Target in the morning myself, but I haven't been cleared to drive.

I'm super swollen today. Even looks like I have a pot belly. Gee whiz. Ugh. More pics tomorrow maybe.....

Updated on 15 May 2013:
Hiya! It's 9 days post op. I'm feeling pretty good. I went to Target for yet another look at compression garments. It was a little too ambitious; once I got home I fell asleep! I did find what I was looking for, though. I was able to pick up 3 of the size small romper style boy shorts. I like that they are one piece and open with snaps at the crotch. I got a size small because I want as much compression as I can get. The best part is that this style is clearance priced at $6.98!! Total score!

I'm still working on weaning off the pain meds. I'm going to try and make it through the day without any Percocet. I don't want to hurt but I don't want to take meds ennecessarily, either.

I'm really, really swollen. I'm not sure it looks like it in the pics, but I've even got apot belly. Ugh!!! A bit of scab fell off my belly button, and I'm almost scab free at the incision site. I'm down another pound, but I'm still 2 pounds over pre-surgery weight. That's all for today!

Updated on 17 May 2013:
Today and yesterday have been good days. I'm showering and getting around pretty nicely. I am getting twinges and stabs of pains on the incision site off and on. I'm sleeping pretty well. I can't seem to go to sleep on my back anymore now that I've been able to sleep on my side.

I'm down to 1 pound over my pre surgery weight. I guess that's good. I'm trying to make better food choices, but last night my friend brought over her famous chocolate chip cookies, and I sure couldn't stay away from those. lol

The scabs continue to fall off my belly button, but they came off after I took the picture today. I am still feeling super swollen, but less so than I was perhaps. I have been wearing m binder a few hours a day, and that really seems to help.

We're supposed to go on a boy scout camping trip tomorrow. I am pretty nervous although hubby has said he just wants me to sit around most of the time. So we'll see how it goes. It's not ideal timing, but my boy is graduation to the next level of cub scouts, so I really don't want to miss it.

Updated on 20 May 2013:
I'm post op day 14 today. Couldn't sleep a wink last night. I finally fell asleep at 4am, so I'm exhausted today. I think the exhaustion has brought about a little bit of depression.

I'm just worn out with not being able to take care of things around the house. I'm also weaning off pain meds, and I am uncomfortable.

Other than that, not much has changed. We went on the camping trip, and that was fine. It was actually a very successful family outing.

I ordered yet another kind of spanx type garment. This one goes to the knees. I feel like my thighs are super swollen, so I'm hoping this will help.

I don't feel like there has been any change in my scar in the last three days.

Updated on 21 May 2013:
Today I weighed 130.6 lbs. I bought some Tumeric to see what happens with swelling. I also bought some cocoa butter to start working on my scar. I am having some crazy tingling on the left side of my incision site, and the whole site is very sore today.

Updated on 21 May 2013:


Updated on 22 May 2013:
Feeling rather good today. I was freaked out last night thinking perhaps I have a seroma. The jury is still out, but the swelling went down overnight which is a sign of more regular swelling and not a seroma after all. I am going to give it another day and will call the doc if it's worse tomorrow.

My weight today is 129.4. Sweet!! I also treated my scar with castor oil and coconut oil. I have the cocoa butter, but couldn't get it out of the jar. It's hard as a rock at room temp - so I will melt it today and mix it in with my concoction.

Oh, and one last word as of yesterday at 15 days post op..... S-E-X. (sorry, MOM!) This was the first day he would have anything to do with me because finally most of my bruising has subsided.

Updated on 23 May 2013:
my weight is back to 130.6. Dang. I'm hoping its major swelling from the Chinese food we had last night.

Couldn't sleep again. It's hard to get comfortable sometimes. Last night my littlest one was kicking and taking up soooo much bed space, so around 3am I got into her bed and loaded up with pillows.

I tried on my pre-op shorts today. They fit! Yay! I also got dressed and did my makeup and hair since my baby graduates preschool tonight. I just got a haircut yesterday and got it all chopped off.

Updated on 24 May 2013:
Weight ..... 129! So now I'm 2.5 pounds down from pre-op weight. The day of my surgery I weighed 131.6 which is crazy high for me, but it is what it is.

All the scabs are gone off my belly button. Yay! I got some news sassy undies in the mail today. I go on panty buying binges sometimes, and this seemed as good a time as any. Hahahaha....

I had to clean up for the Daisy meeting today, and I'm already tired. It's not even time for the meeting yet. Oy!

I've been having trouble with restless legs as I came off the pain meds, so I bought Some magnesium oil to see if that will help. My fingers are crossed because it sucks to have wiggly legs.

Updated on 25 May 2013:
Today's weight: 130. I am doing a LOT more the last two days, and that may be the reason I feel like I'm swelling more. I also feel like I can't seem to find just the right spanx type garment. It's like trying to find the perfect purse. :-/

Updated on 26 May 2013:
129 this morning. I still have a suspicious spot of swelling on my left side. I'll keep on keeping an eye on it....

Updated on 27 May 2013:
128.8 today. I hate this swelling above the incision. I'd like it to be gone. :-/

Updated on 28 May 2013:
I'm headed to see Dr. Parva today to take a look at my swelling on the left side. I'm possibly just paranoid, but really I'd just rather find out for sure!! I'm 129.2 today. I'm posting new pics as well.

Updated on 29 May 2013:
128.6 today. Dr. Parva said my swelling is not a seroma. YAY!

Updated on 29 May 2013:
I just wanted to update with a couple of pics. I think they are FABULOUS although they may look like nothing special to you guys!

Updated on 30 May 2013:
131 lbs. WTF?! #ihatemyscale

Updated on 2 Jun 2013:
Scale says 130.0 this morning. I have been very swollen for the last few days and my muscles have been very sore. Mostly towards the top and the incision is tender. I am really loving my Marena garment. It's got nice compression and is comfortable. It is definitely worth the money.

I have been wearing regular clothes off and on. My favorite shorts and capris are fitting fine. I don't know if it's because I am wearing the compression garment or not. I know I am still quite heavy for "me", but am not sure how I'm going to drop the weight that I think is "extra". The weird thing is that I have been told I look really good. I think mostly I need to be worrying about fitness and eating right.

Still have trouble sleeping off and on, but mostly the swelling and soreness off and on are my only two issues. I'm posting some update pics. They aren't very good quality, but I am so pleased!

Updated on 4 Jun 2013:
Really hard to believe I am 4 weeks post op! I had a rough couple of days just not feeling up to par, but today I feel great. I took off the big squeeze garments and a, wearing a light compression (because it's too big!) shaper. I really seem to have LESS swelling. I think I look slimmer today than perhaps any other post op day so far. I just tried on a size 5 pair of jeans, and they fit nicely. I think the might run big, though. I'll try on a couple more to see if I can truly fit a 5. I was a comfortable juniors size 9 pre surgery, so I definitely hoping to be at least a 7. I'll post some pics when I go to take a shower. Oh, I did really concentrate on drinking my 3L of water yesterday, so maybe that had something to do with the lack of swelling???

Updated on 4 Jun 2013:
Here are some updated pics. I have some puckering on the left side, but not worried about it yet. I called to ask ps office about exercising and when I can stop wearing compression.

I didn't really get a straight answer. I'm mostly in regular clothes at this point. Yay! I'm very pleased with the results so far, but I gotta say these are the things I'm tired of at the 4 week mark:
Hunching by the end of the day
Being exhausted but not able to sleep because of discomfort
Swelling!!
Tight compression
No exercise
Gentle sex ( not that I like it rough, but I'm tired of being SO careful!)

More pics!

Updated on 7 Jun 2013:
Here I am post op 32, and yeah - I still feel cruddy every now and then. Today's has been one of those days. I've had a cruddy headache, and just felt weird in my belly. I did do quite a lot yesterday afternoon, so maybe that's why. But, I walked by a window and saw my reflection. I'm posting the pics. Problem solved..... feeling better! Just looking at those pics knowing I would have looked so bumpy and lumpy wearing this outfit (I actually wouldn't have) a few weeks ago is enough to make a girl smile!

I'm also adding a collage of progression pics. I don't know that I look much different between pics, but that's ok.

This is what the first few hours post-op look like..... lol

I snapped this pic this morning. I wore a Flexees corset style waist nipper yesterday, and this morning I'm curvy! SHOCKING as I am not a curvy gal at all.

After breastfeeding my daughter the girls have a lot of extra skin and little to no volume. So I am looking to restore that.

I am scheduled to have my augmentation on October 7th. My preop is sept 22. I am getting a so nervous about anestia and picking a size. Well I am nervous about everything. I feel like I'll be so anxious the night before.

My stats now are;

5 11
35 b
150 pounds
Chest 13 width

I am looking to be a full c to a small d. My doctor said 375 or 415 cc would be good for me based on the look I chose on the 3D vector. But when I see the reviews on this site I feel like that may be too big. I am very athletic and do t want to be too top heavy.

Any feedback on size, my nerves or things to get in preparation would be appreciated!

Updated on 12 Sep 2016:
Only 4 weeks until my surgery and I am trying to put it out of my mind. It makes me anxious and I don't want to build it up too much and get that let down feeling once the adrenaline is gone post op.

Anyway here are my preop photos. I am concerned that 415cc moderate maybe too big. I may try 350.

I am looking. For a complete list of things to do and buy prior to surgery. So any input you ladies have would be great.

Updated on 16 Sep 2016:
My preop is this Thursday! So I have put together my wish boobs. I am now honk 350 cc silicon moderate plus. All of these pics came from ladies on real self :)

Updated on 19 Sep 2016:
I have been finally just excited and picturing myself with boobies! But recently I will all the sudden be like WTF am I really gonna have surgery! Ahh Picturing myself going into surgery makes me sooo nervous. I am afraid I'll have a meltdown the day of:(

I still haven't found a way to tel my mom yet either. Can any of you ladies relate?

Updated on 3 Oct 2016:
The top is me no bra. The bottom is 415 cc rice sizers. I hope they are not too big. I am getting pretty nervous for this Friday!!

Updated on 6 Oct 2016:
I am excited and nervous for tomorrow morning. I also started to have a pain under my eye. I really hope it's not an eye infection:(

I am trying to stay busy and do laundry, prep my area to sleep etc.

Send me good booby vibes!

In manageable pain. Honey is being me soup and I am icing.

Took my first shower today. The girls are looking good. I am still pretty sore.

Updated on 11 Oct 2016:
Sorry ladies I have t written much since my surgery. Friday morning I was scheduled for 9:30am. I checked in at the surgery center and they gave me a pregnancy test. I then changed into my cap and gown and waited for the anesthesiologist and dr to come by.

My dr came in and marked me with a marker and cover everything briefly again. Next The anesthesiologist came by and briefly explained medicines and anti Nausea that would go in my iv. I was so nervous I was shaking all over. So they said they were giving me something for the nerves. I felt that slowly kick in and shortly after I kissed my boyfriend goodbye and they wheeled me off. I remember moving myself over to the op table and I was out.i woke up what seem like minutes later and I was done. They gave me a Vicodin and explained post op then wheeled me to the car.

Fortunately we were miles from home. My boyfriend drove me home and wakes me to my wedge pillow sit up in my room. I could t sleep I believe because they gave me steroids. So I hung out for hours all out of it and watched tv.

For the first couple days the pain was pretty tough. Not horrible but when the mess started to wear I was waiting for the next ones to kick in.

My boyfriend really helped me by forcing me to get up every two hours and walk around and move my arms for 10 minutes.

My third day I was able to shower quickly and fourth day had a better shower and waged my hair and even went to the movies.

Today I am much better and a lot more mobile. I do get random pains I think from the nerves. It's pretty good thoug overall. I have my one week appointment Friday. I will try to keep up with the updates!

Updated on 12 Oct 2016:
I was nervous to shave until now. It as an effort, but I feel like I can shower mostly not so now, shave even my under arms and wash my hair. I just feel more tired than not after. Here's another pic, they r slowly changing.

Updated on 14 Oct 2016:
I went for my one week appointment. All is well.The dr showed me some massages and gave me a strap to wear to push the girls down. They do fee better after the massages. The steroid trips were taken off too. I do t like seeing the scars:( also they are feeing pretty tight. Hopi g the get more swishy soon.

Here are today's pics.

The massages seems to make me a little sore. But the girls are looking good. My belly is pretty swollen though. I am committed to sticking to my nutrition the next few weeks until I can workout again.

Still loving the way they look. I am still have some nerve pins and numbness but nothing terrible. I have been walking a couple miles outside a few times a week. I can't wait to lift again. I go for a follow up this Wednesday and I am hopi g he'll clear me to do legs.

Loving them! I am able to lift and do all my normal activities. So far no complaints:)

I have always felt that I was "different", but never knew there was a term for what was wrong with me. After having my first child and my breast not growing at all, I realized I had produced no milk and would not be able to breast-feed. That is when I researched online and realized I had severe tubular breasts with glandular deficiency. Since we are done having children, I have decided to focus on me. It took a lot of praying and consideration, but I've decided to move forward with my mommy makeover and reconstruction of my breasts. I am excited and nervous, but and blessed to have the support of my husband and family behind me. One week to go!

Less than one week for my surgery. I have been doing a lot of reading/research (about surgery, natural methods to aid healing), prep work to be out of the office for 2 weeks/ away from my kids for that long too. Also doing hundreds of squats a day to strengthen my legs, so I can use those the most for getting up and down.

Thank you for your support! It has taken 39 years to come to terms with my insecurities and to take charge. I want to feel beautiful, strong and empowered by the time I turn 40 next year. I have worked hard to lose the weight from four pregnancies within three years (2 living children). There is more to lose, but my thyroid issues cause limitations. After my surgery I want to work even harder to be as strong and toned as possible. It will be nice to have my body match my activity level and exhibit the work I've invested. My dream body is any of the athletes in the Athleta catalog!

Nervous, excited, anxious... All of the above. Trying to prepare the house and work for being off for 2 weeks, taking deep breaths to calm my nerves, kissing my littles a lot before they go on vacation at Nana's, saying goodbye to my old body. There's a lot to process, but I am quite excited for this new phase in my journey. Out with the old, ready for the new.

Had surgery, spent most my day yesterday sleeping. Pain is manageable if I stay on tops of meds. Eating soft bland foods... And lots of water and coconut water. Hubby is being a great nurse!

Feel good good, just super tired.

I am starting to wean off my pain medication today. Feels good to not be a slave to the Percocet. Pain is manageable with over the counter drugs thankfully. Some swelling in my mid-section, but looks good.
