Even though I have lost weight since my procedure, I went in wearing a size 9 -11, now I'm currently in 7-8, my stomach and waist is getting smaller by the day, I still wear my stream waist clincher, and my sweat belt under it with this product called Heat !, Oh well I guess that's enough if you ladies have any questions feel free to contact me anytime, thanks here's some photos I took earlier today. Updated on 4 Sep 2014: Hello ladies as I stated I will tell you the good and bad and of course everything is not good ! Boy on labor day weekend I had the worse back pain in my life.. I'm talking about pains was sharp , like someone waa hitting me! I couldn't walk straight, couldn't get in and out of the bed by myself ,, omg I felt worse then I did on the first day having surgery ! Another thing I have noticed is body stiffness and pain in my neck.Remind you this was labor day weekend so the doctor was out ! So I took Ibprouen I haven't took the pain pills well since the 2nd day of my procedure. .I wasn't trying to take them noway not during the holiday lol, so that didn't work so my husband massaged my flanks, when I tell you pain I mean pain, my husband stated I had to be in pain because I never Cry.. Anyway he helped me in bed got some icy hot, rubbed that on my back then put the heating pad on, that was even painful, the heat felt like it was going through my back to my stomach. . By this time I had got frustrated, and decided to take the pain pill fell asleep this was Sunday night I was praying I would be ok by Monday because we already had plans, so anyway Monday morning got up really wasn't in pain but stiff as a damn board ! Ugggh but as I got to walking around it got better so I went on and enjoyed my day ! My follow up is this Monday and I have plenty of questions ! The next step I think I need to start doing some yoga for stretching of the body ! Other then that I hope everyone had a blessed holiday I will update you on my follow up this coming Monday, here's a photo of labor day outing if you knew me you could tell I wasn't myself didn't even feel like doing makeup. So I guess you have to deal with the bad and good I just hope the bad passes ! OK you all have a blessed night xoxo. .. Updated on 9 Sep 2014: Hello ladies well I didn't miss my checkup Yesterday lol everything was fine , we talked about the lump he felt it, he said it's normal he also stated , my skin looks great and will tighten while healing , he also stated he's very surprised how my stomach looks by me doing my own massages, which I do once a day I used to do 3xs a day ! He prescribed me some potassium pills he stated that's good for swelling as well and a water pill which I was already taking Durex water pills extra strength. . So over all I'm doing great don't have to be back until 5 months yeahhhhh! OK on to the good stuff , so some of you know I wanted fat added to my hip we went all over that I stated I don't want nothing ridiculous I want to look as natural as possible, so he drew my body frame out on a piece of paper then added some filling . He asked me like this? I stated yes , I asked where are you gonna get fat from he said back thies side thies no inner thies he don't think it will survive, And then he stated by 5 months he might do a retouch on my abdomen and take fat from there oh he did say my bra roll. .. So all this will take place in February, right now I'm taking maca 3 to see if that will help my hips and butt fill out till then it's worth a try and if that works I can go ahead and have my breast lift and arms done even though he stated I have a good grade of muscle, he's sure that will hurt lol but that's ok they are still getting done ! Also I'm still wearing my squeem and my Ann cherry waist clinc Updated on 9 Sep 2014: And my Ann Cherry waist clincher he said since my body is not healed I can train my body at this point and I love the way my stomach looks after I remove the clincher well ladies I think that's it I'm gonna upload photos like I always do.

Updated on 25 Feb 2015: Went for my 6 month check up not pleased I have a dent on my left side of my abdomen one side of my stomach hang longer then the other, I thought it was gonna get fixed but everyone talks over you and don't listen to your concerns seems like when it comes to your retouch time people get Rude ! But I rather pay to get it corrected ...I'm just gonna say don't give no one so much praise until your final visit because that's when you really will see people's true colors and just pay for what you want thats my best advice to everyone ! Thanks for sharing my journey I will update again when I find another doctor to fix the problems I have! And also I'm having another procedure done so stay tuned!
I wanted to do this because I've had my boobs done 3 times prior. Every time I went up a cup size and got a lift, only to find that 8 months later they would hang again. So I got smart and realized my body cannot hold them. I'm 5'5 and 109 lbs a double d is too big. So this time I went from 475 ccs to 350 ccs and of course I had them lifted. I haven't peeked yet, but I'm very curious as to how the results will be. I have tiny, hard to fibs veins and in the past I look pretty bad after the IV is removed. The nurse knew of my history so she numbed it and got it in first try. My surgery was at 7:30 this morning, well that's when I was set to he there and they took me back at 8. I was back at 11, so I'm still exhausted and everything. I will update tomorrow....see you later!! Updated on 23 Feb 2014: Ok so it has been 2 days since surgery and my recovery has been so awesome! I have had 3 prior breast surgeries, tummy tuck, and a nose job. I can say that my recovery has never been this smooth, now I understand on the nose job and tummy tuck because those were very painful and strenuous surgeries. Comparing my past breast lift with implant surgeries, yes this one was by far the best. I got to shower yesterday, felt so good to be able to get fully clean. That was also when I got my first look at my new girls, which I already love. I mean I went from watermelons to oranges...haha!!! I have very elastic skin so my body cannot hold the larger breasts for long before it starts to sag again. Now these are still new so I do not want to jinx myself but I am told that these will stay in place. We will see because I notice the sag after about 7 to 8 months. Also I had this problem before with my nose job, but I am totally allergic to the sticky part of tape. My PS had to remove the steri strips from my nose early because it swelled up like 3 times the size. Under my breasts, where the steri strips are (like I had the anchor lift so they go from the nipple down to crease) it is very red, swollen up, and very itchy. I get about 5 minutes relief and then it starts up again. I called my PS office and they have me going in tomorrow to see what we need to do because I am supposed to wear these for 2 to 3 weeks. I will update you guys after my appointment. Updated on 24 Feb 2014: I apologize for my mix up on days yesterday, today is officially my 4th day with the my new boobies. I went to my PS today and he had to remove the steri strips since I am allergic to them. It hurt just a tad when he was working on the crease, but they were able to remove all of them. The nurse called in a prescription for an ointment for me to use over the next 7 days and advised me to take Benadryl. This is fine for me because I have not been wanting to take any pain medication, I have not really needed it. I am feeling much better so I will just have to give it time. Meanwhile, my boobies are looking better everyday. I go back in a week and I will update then. If you guys have any questions at all feel free to message me. I know what it is like to have an upcoming surgery and not want to go not knowing what is going on.
I'm a 30yo mother of two. I've always been a fairly large chested girl. I was a 34c/34d before I got pregnant and with each child they've gone up a few cup sizes. I fluctuate between a 36ddd/E and a 36f. Ideally I'd like to be a full C or Small D. I breastfed both daughters till they were about 15months old. To say that the girls aren't in their anatomically correct position anymore is an understatement! Love my daughters to death but they sucked the life, aka perkiness, out of my breasts. I would like to have them reduced and put back where they belong! My husband is active duty so I'm really hoping that with the history of mid/low back pain and the major divets in my shoulders that I can have it covered by insurance! I scheduled my consult with Dr.Swamy for May 23rd. I'm both excited and anxious about my appointment. Any advice or pertinent questions y'all think I should ask him is greatly appreciated!! My main concern is nipple tenderness and asymmetry. Was that an issue for any of y'all? Updated on 6 May 2016:
I will be 40 this year and I knew I wanted to do this for the big 4-0!!! I also have had 4 kids which has done a number on my abdomen. I am a very active mom who does Crossfit and works as an RN. Even with my medical knowledge I am so nervous about this surgery. Oh, and I have lost 50 lbs in the past year, that is huge! I am 5'2" and weigh 155. I live in North Dallas, so, shout out to my fellow Texans! Updated on 21 Jun 2014: Crossfit has got me in such great shape! I have lost 40 lbs, but can't lose that bulge! Updated on 21 Jun 2014: Updated on 21 Jun 2014: I really did lose 50...lol, but uploaded pics from my phone and it hit a 4 instead of 5...I worked hard for that 10lbs, haha!!! Can't figure out how to edit that post, so whatever! Updated on 25 Jun 2014: I am so excited and nervous, but I am dealing with a sinus/allergy thing going on...frustrating! Fortunately, I work in the ER and got a nice big dose of antibiotics in the butt, that felt AWESOME! I do not have fever, so I am very happy that the surgery will go on! Okay, now breathe! Updated on 26 Jun 2014: My surgery was at 8 am today. I am in a lot of pain, so I know it is gonna be a rough night! They have me Percocet and phenergen, that helps with pain and helps me sleep. I rented a hospital bed and I am so glad I did, it is so worth it! I would def recommend getting one!!! Updated on 30 Jun 2014: I have been doing so good, I won't sugar coat it, there is a lot of pain, but it is gonna be worth it! I am currently sitting in the waiting room at my doctor's office, waiting for my checkup and hoping it is time for the drains to go. We will see... Updated on 30 Jun 2014: Well looks like the drains are staying in till my next check up on Wednesday. I know it is for the best, but cannot wait until they are out! Updated on 30 Jun 2014: Updated on 5 Jul 2014: Updated on 5 Jul 2014: I am moving around so much better now. I finally had my first outing (other than dr. apt) on July 4th. We went out to watch and shoot off fireworks. I sat and observed most of the time, but by the end of the night and the next day I was exhausted. I go back to work one week from today so I am very nervous about that. So far everything seems to be healing fairly well and I have not experienced any complications. Updated on 6 Jul 2014: I have been so fortunate and blessed this past week. I have 4 kiddos. The day after surgery I shipped off hubby with 2 of the boys (ages 8 and 5) to Missouri to visit Grandma. I was home with my oldest 17 yr old daughter and my youngest, who is 3, cause the drive to Missouri is too long for him. To top it off my best friend, Carolyn, took last week off work to help me and keep the 3 yr old occupied. So I truly feel blessed because I was able to really get some rest. But that all ends tonight. My BFF goes back to work on Monday and my husband will be home with the kiddos this evening. So my lil vacay recovery time is over--back to life, back to reality!!! Updated on 11 Jul 2014: So today I got up early, took my kids to daycare, got them donuts first...cause they deserved a special treat from mom. Then I went to an appt to get eyelash extensions, I have been wanting to do this for a while and now I just feel so pretty. I went and had lunch with my older kiddos and then completed the day with a lil shopping. I got some very nice compression garments. I feel wonderful and tomorrow I go back to work. So excited to get back to normal with my new tiny waistline. Also so far I have lost 10.5 inches off my waist and I am still swollen!!!! Updated on 15 Jul 2014: This pic was taken before I put my bulky scrub top on! I had a good day, but when swollen and sore when I got home Updated on 15 Jul 2014: I forgot to add at my 2 weeks post op appt I found out how much was removed. 1050 cc of tissue AND 750 cc of fat THAT'S ALMOST 2 LITERS!!! WOW!!! Did I mention I am so happy I did this!!! Updated on 18 Aug 2014: I'm so bad about taking pics of myself, this is one my husband took when we went out to the range...yes, I love to shoot!!!
