Hi! I’m getting a tummy tuck in a couple days and I’m very nervous but also excited! I think I’ve chosen the right doctor and my expectations are high. I hope to share my experience in an effort to help other women make this difficult decision. The women on this site have helped me tremendously, so thank you! Specifically Dr. Barnthouse’s patients. I hope to pay it forward :) I’m attaching my before photos and I look forward to sharing the afters Updated on 18 Feb 2021: I had

Mastopexy with Natrelle Inspira 545cc implants
I’ve wanted my breasts done since I was 18 years old. My breasts were always saggy. After four children, one breastfed, and numerous yo-yo weigh losses and gains, my breasts appeared to be approaching my waist. I’m turning 51 in a few days, I’m doing this for myself.

I am beyond happy
I just had a breast lift with 415cc hp implants and I am beyond happy. I needed this done before I even had children and after having 2, I was in desperate need for a lift. Like any mother, I felt a lot of guilt wanting to have an elective surgery. I heard of Dr Barnthouse through word of mouth. I believe there are a lot of great surgeons in Kansas City but only a handful that can master a lift with an implant. I am only 5 days post op and am so happy. He spent an hour and a half

Tummy Tuck/Breast Lift w/implants
I’m turning 40 years old this year, and I’ve had three big babies which I breastfed. I had also had a lumpectomy several years ago, leaving my breast very asymmetrical. I interviewed several surgeons but even another reconstructive plastic surgeon here in Kansas City recommended Dr. Barnthouse. I also had several friends that had used him. His experience is second to none.
Highly recommended!
Dr. Barnthouse is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and considerate. I appreciate the time that he took to carefully explain my options. He did it a terrific job, and I am very pleased with my results! Highly recommend!
Finding the best
Finding a plastic surgeon is stressful. You are determining who will be your guide through a major life change which is typically a choice in healthcare different from phrases experiences. I struggled as I looked at Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Dallas, Columbia an Dallas. I did not want to be a botched job. I met with 4 providers in the process. Dr. Barnthouse educated me, gave me time for my questions and invested his time Ithaca me whim could have selected someone
After losing weight my boobs dropped and I longed for younger looking breast. I knew there would be a day where I would go through this surgery. I still am going through a weight loss journey however getting a BA/BL has only driven me more. Yes I can't workout for awhile but I still can eat healthy and get where I need to be. I've lost 50 lbs so far, what is another 25? Here are my before pictures Updated on 23 Sep 2017: I was very tight and wrapped up. Doctor said I couldn't

29, 5'4, 150lbs - 345 Cc Mid Profile - Kansas City, MO
After several consults, I scheduled my surgery with the doctor I felt most comfortable with. I was torn between 345cc and 360cc. I got scared so I went with 345cc. Now that I'm post op, I could have safely gone larger however I still love my new girls! I was a small B and I'm currently a 36 D. I'm only 6 days post op so this might change. Updated on 16 Aug 2016: Here are some pictures of my progress. I'm 1 week post op today.

Milk Maid to my Children Ready for a Change - Kansas City, MO
I am 36 years young and nursed both my children for 10 months each. Over time I have gotten back into shape and my breasts look very tired. My bra size is actually a 34D but it's a lot of tissue with no volume. I have wanted to do this for a very long time. I was mostly worried about what others would think. I don't care anymore because I am doing this for me and no one else. My husband talked me out of it for a while but realized after years of talking about it I really
