My whole life have struggled with my weight. Always extreme ups and downs, even as a child. Because of this I have a stomach flap that never goes away and uneven saggy breasts. I knew it was finally time to keep the weight off and get the needed surgery to get rid of my flap and boobs. On August 7th 2017 I had the tummy tuck and breast lift done in Anchorage, AK. Updated on 8 Aug 2017: Day 1 after surgery. I've been pretty out of it. Just in a lot of pain. I have two drains

This was my first surgery ever. I was extremely nervous. But I was prepared mentally what to expect. I have been needing this surgery for years. I get rashes and irritation from daily routines. My flap needed to go!! I trusted my doctor which made things better. I went to surgery center at 8am and was in surgery at 9:30am. Woke up at 11am. I was not a lot of pain. Just some from muscle repair. Wow getting out of bed is hard! Lol!! I left 20 mins after waking up. It felt so tight!!

I am scheduled for implant removal and lift on May 8th! (I am 38, 2 teenage kids!) I got my silicone implants over the muscle about six years ago. Looking back I wonder whatever possessed me to put these foreign objects inside my body in the first place?! Low self esteem, divorce..... Who knows. I actually cancelled my first surgery date when I put them in as I could not wrap my mind around putting something foreign into my body... But gave in to the idea a few months later! I

After a couple decades, and several consultations I'm finally ready to pull the trigger. I'm a 36 A, & have wore padded bras for way to long. I had a second consultation with a plastic surgeon that my friend recommended on April 2. I had a hard time with the sizers choosing between the 375 & 400. Thankfully the doctors assistant helped me with making a decision to go with the Silicone Mentor Moderate Plus 400 cc's. My surgery is scheduled for August 5, 2015. I'm so thankful for

After years of being overweight I finally dropped 30+lbs with the help of a personal trainer. Even though I slowly lost weight my stomach Alway got in the way- was never able to do a full sit-up. I pretty much held all my weight around my abdominal area. After years of saving I finally decided to get the surgery of my dreams. I couldn't be happier with my choice of surgeon to make my dreams come true. Dr. Manuel and staff are just absolutely amazing! I am so uncomfortable in my

I have 7 days to go! A brief explanation of myself: 39 yrs old, 5 children, a wonderfully loving and encouraging husband who has been my best friend and husband for over 23 yrs. Like many mothers on here my body has been depleted and abused by pregnancies and obesity. Two years ago I went on a weight loss journey and have lost 80 lbs and kept it off by eating right and exercise. After I came to a place where I could go no more my husband encouraged me to see a PS and just see

My Dr. has been awesome thus far. He and his staff have been extremely attentive, even going as far as calling to check on me after the surgery. All questions I have had has been answered And not once have I felt that I was being rushed. I would definitely recommend to other women who are considering having this surgery. I really appreciate his professionalism And if I had to I would do it all over again it has been worth it. More to report once the swelling is down and my

I'm a 5'2" 39 yr old wife and mother of two teenage girls. My girls where both larger than my small frame could carry Without stretching beyond its limits. I have waited 17 yrs to get this done, and although I am excited I am just as nervous! I do wish I had done this five yrs ago when I was thinner, but everything happens for a reason! Updated on 25 Jan 2012: I'm on day 5 and doing great! No bm but not in pain from it. I'm able to walk all over house and
