Had a Mommy Makeover done October 2022. Going into surgery I was 5'2, 180 lbs, but stable at that weight for many years. Since menopause hit 4 years ago, I had developed a lower tummy "pooch" that made finding well-fitting clothing difficult. Prior to that, I carried all my weight on my hips and thighs.
The tummy tuck got rid of ALL the tummy fat and excess skin. Dr. Baker used liposuction to contour my back and my hips to give my torso a natural look. The breast lift returned my breasts to the place they were before breast-feeding 2 kids. In all, everything above my hips looks like I'm 20 years younger. I'll be working on diet and excercise in 2023 to reduce those thighs. When I reach my goals, if I have excess skin there, I will return to Dr. Baker to remove it.
Dr. Baker was wonderful to work with. He was informative on what to expect from the procedures in terms of down-time, pain and recovery, and the end result aesthetically. Spot on in all respects. I took 3 weeks off work (desk job), and I would say I felt more uncomfortable rather than in pain for 2 weeks (Exparel is a must), and I am skiing at 11 weeks post-op. All incisions are hidden under my bra and bikini panties, and are all thin and visibly fading over time.
Now at 3 months post-op, I would say I would 100% do this again. Perhaps my only regret would be not doing this sooner!
