Panniculectomy was done on Monday Nov 26th 2018. This is a journey I tell u with much swelling and soreness. As I go through this first week I’m so excited and grateful. I had a 2 day hospital stay with plenty of info and tricks taught. Learning now how to slow down Updated on 10 Dec 2018: Still healing and had a lil reaction to the Pre solution from surgery but it’s becoming controllable. Swelling is definitely still in some areas with numbness. Love when I get to chat with

I cannot begin my story without first extending a huge THANK YOU to all the beautiful ladies and behind the scenes contributors of Real Self who so courageously disclose their beings right before the eyes of the world solely desiring to increase confidence in others who may decide to join the flat side. Ok here’s my story: I’m not a kangaroo so I don’t desire to carry a pouch like one. I’ve been lurking around this amazing website for a few months now. I’m a wife and mother

After having 4 beautiful children ages 24, 18, and Identical twin girls that are 13 I am ready to do something for myself which is to get my body back. I am 5'4 and 130 lbs. I have a petite frame and all this extra belly fat and skin is just so ugly to me. I am doing this for myself. I deserve this. It has taken me a long time to come to this conclusion. 4 days to go! Dr. Richard Wilson performed my breast Augmentation last April and he will be doing my Tummy Tuck as

I have never had Breast that didn't sag a little.. until now! I had a Breast Lift with no Implants. I love them! I will be going back for the implants in 3 months! The staff was amazing.. Everyone was so nice to Me.. I felt really cared for.. and Dr. Richard Wilson in Columbus, Ga. is Awe-Some!!! Great work and a very nice voice :0) Updated on 4 Mar 2015: I had my follow up appt today. It went really well. I saw my nipples completely for the first time. I love them! I am extremely

I have always had a athletic build but due to emergency surgeries I have kind of "lost" it. Mainly in my abdomen and utter thighs, such a nightmare! I know some people who went to Dr. Palaga years ago so I decided I would do the same. I am a little nervous after seeing some of the others results on here but his look book is amazing and opposite of what I have seen. I would love to know of anyones experience with him or any of the other 2 doctors and Columbus Plastic Surgery. I

Hey everyone! Been lurking for the past couple weeks since locking in my surgery date. I will be getting a Breast Lift with an implant on 08/27/14. My PS and staff have suggested between 400cc and 450cc (closer to the 450 end), below the muscle, silicone to get my desired look. I would really like to be a small D. I don't want to get into the DD range since I think it would look too big on my frame. I'm 5'5" between 120-125 lbs with a small frame, 24 inch waist and 34 inch

5'3", 135 lbs. Had 300cc Saline Overs for 13 years. Hated them! Heavy and huge. Had them removed 2 years ago. I am scheduled for my 2nd BA on 4/30/13. I am going with Silicone Unders this time with a full anchor lift. The doctor is going to decide on size but looking at 350-375-400cc HP's. I feel confident that I have shown him enough pics of my wish boobs. I am a nervous wreck! Hoping that I will like Silicone better than the Saline. I think placement has a lot to do with

I was so so scared of undergoing it. I've had two c-sections, but somehow this was different. I was worried about my life, something going wrong, my children. I felt so guilty for doing this even though my husband was very supportive. I read a lot (perhaps too much) and waited two months between my initial consultation and the surgery. Well, all the anxiety was gone when I decided to pray and give it all to The Lord. I know this is a cosmetic procedure, but I could not leave my
