I have been wanting a tummy tuck for at least 8 years now. I booked my surgery last week and paid it in full! Getting my lab work done tomorrow and in 6 more days I will be on the flat side!!!

41 Yrs Old Had 2 Cs, Fibroid Removal Required Abd. Surgery, Had Mommy Makeover - Wilmington, DE
I had always wanted breast surgery but felt I needed to wait till after I had kids. I decided on a Mommy makeover. My breasts went from a b to d after breast feeding for a short period of time. After surgery I had high profile saline under the muscle 300cc with lift. After surgery I was a full C cup. 4 mths later I had a revision on my rt side for the implant to drop. At the time I weighed 119lbs,5'5 small build with narrow rib cage. I also had a mini tummy tuck with liposuction.

Mini Tummy Tuck & Hernia Repair - Newark, DE
So far I think it was definitely worth it! After my 2nd pregnancy my body was almost back to normal, only I had loose, stretched skin below my belly button and no amount of core work was going to make it go away. Day of surgery: I was in some pain right after surgery. I had muscle tightening, mini tummy tuck, and hernia repair. I was having muscle spasms after surgery that were really painful. After the Vicodin kicked in, we made the trip home. Once I was home, I wasn't
This is me so far…everyday is an improvement. I’m 47 and gave birth to 3 children. I stay active at the gym 4-5 days a week but my pouch never budged. This procedure was life changing after all these years. I’ll be going back to Dr Rhee for breast augmentation next!
I've been told I've always had a nice rack. Some even went so far as to accuse me of having implants before, which isn't the case. Now, after nursing 3 wonderful kids, and 40 is right around the corner, it's time to get the girls back to where they started, and give them some much deserved self esteem along the way. My issue was trying to find a doctor I felt comfortable with and who would help me navigate to get my end result which was a great look, nice youthful breasts that
I've had consult after consult going back 7 years. After my first c-section no one told me that I needed to work out to keep from getting the c-section bulge.
