I have been thinking of getting tummy tuck for many years since I lost the weight. I've gone to self help seminars, positive support groups, etc. Most of my friends are against it except others who have gone through the same thing and are still active vibrant women. I am getting tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I was not sure about the breast because it was nature not weight loss that caused them to deflate,but since the advent of the safer gummy bears, I considered it. It's

I am not a huge social media/"sharing my life to all" type person. But all the reviews, etc. on real self have been so helpful to me in my journey that I wanted to pass whatever I can along, so I can hopefully help someone else. I wanted to start by sharing my experience with the doctors in Tucson, AZ I had consults with. I ended up consulting with 4 different doctors. And honestly, I feel like any of the 4 would have done a great job. I just wanted to make sure the doctor I

After years of contemplation, I have finally decided to get breast inplants. I met with Dr. Reinke today and felt so comfortable that I set my surgery date in a couple weeks. I wasn't sure what to expect size wise, but after trying several sample sizes, we decided on a 475cc on the right, and 500cc on the left. That seems SO big! But considering my body frame, 5'8 145lbs athletic build, I think it will look just fine. Updates to come. Updated on 20 Jul 2015: I cannot say enough

So I am 5'5 120lbs and I am a mother of 1. I've wanted this since I had her. I was a full A small B deflated. They looked like pancakes lol I met with Dr. Reinke who suggested that I go with the 450cc implants even though I was convinced I was going with the 400cc implants. So closer to my surgical date I decided to listen to the nice man with 25+ years of experience and I am 7 days post op and I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!! They look great at 7 days!!! The incision looks amazing

I figured that it's my turn to make me happy in the inside so I decided to do a mommy makeover. I have a very busy life, I'm a nurse, work and go to school full time. I don't have time to work out and eat right. I've done what I can but I can only do so much. I now just have to maintain 80% is diet and 20% is exercise. Updated on 5 Jun 2015: One month post op from my mommy makeover. Tummy tuck and breast implant exchanged. Back to work, my PS applied the Embrace dressing for

I've recently had a breast augmentation done with Reinke and his crew. I could not be any happier with the results! As someone who really struggled and was unhappy with her breast size, this has been a life changing operation for me. Reinke and his team have been nothing but courteous and professional from the moment I walked in. They really helped me understand the process of what was going to happen during and after the surgery, and even called hours after I was sent home to

It's been a couple years since I updated my "review" on here so I just wanted to update anyone who was interested in my experience :) I chose Dr. Reinke (TUCSON AZ) Amazing Dr. I love my results! Before I was a 34 b After a few months of fluffing after the surgery I was a 34ddd which I have remained since then:) (700cc) My profile is mod + saline.

I grew up always flat chested - dreamed of filling out a dress or bath suit. 5'6" weight about 140 llbs - very muscular and curvy (not fat). Finally - saved enough money and at 36 yrs old had 375 saline implants put in under muscle. Had specifically told doctor did not want to big. I'm broad shouldered and muscular. They looked great for a long time but started to bottom out and when i went to do arm curls the breasts were interferring with my lifting. I went in for a revision

My name is Karina and I'm a mom to 3 kids, ages 2, 6, and 8. I'm currently 5'7" and weigh 136 pounds. I have struggled with my weight for the last 10 years or so. Just a year ago I weighed about 200 pounds. My highest weight pregnant was with my 8 year old when I weighed 246 pounds on delivery day. When my youngest daughter was born 2 1/2 years ago, I weighed in at 237 pounds. Over the last year I have worked my butt off with diet and exercise and have gotten
