Updated on 31 Mar 2016: I'm so ready for the next 3 weeks to go by so I only have a few days to get everything in order and finally have boobs I've wanted since my teens!!!!!! Updated on 11 Apr 2016: 15 more days to go!!!!!!!!!!! and 8 more days for my preop appt getting more and more anxious trying to decide if im given the option to go bigger if I really want too or just stick with what the dr originally stated that was the biggest at 450cc....time needs to hurry so my anxiety wont be so bad!!!!!!! Updated on 19 Apr 2016: I had my preop this am and thanks to my sinuses im starting a round of antibiotics today....I decided to go ahead and go with 550cc...so hopefully ill be happy with them and not second guessing if i went to small....

Updated on 4 May 2016: Everything is going great I can lift up to 5 lbs, I only have to wear the strap at night time, I can lay flat or on my sides now (thank God!!!!!!) and I go back next week to find out if I can get back on the motorcycle!!!! So happy with my recovery I feel like sometimes I'm over doing it just being a week out of surgery with absolutely no downtime except the night of surgery....but at least they are what I wanted and expected! Updated on 12 May 2016: Well got measured at my 2 week and I measured out at a 34DDD/F....still have a ways to go and instead of using Mentor he used Natrelle....
After having my third, and final child in 2012, I was never really able to lose all of the weight I wanted to. I weighed 180 at my highest and even when I lost 25 pounds, I still had a "pregnant" belly. After losing that much weight and not seeing much, if any improvement in the area that bothered me the most, I would lose motivation and end up gaining some of the weight back. After battling with it for three years and trying everything, I was ready to explore other options. I scheduled consultations with a few doctors that I had researched and went prepared to ask questions and be realistic in my expectations. I was at 170 lbs when I went for my consults. After visiting with both doctors, I was able to immediately choose Dr. Powell. He was extremely attentive and not rushed in his evaluation. He asked me a lot of questions before giving me an answer. He asked me what my expectations were and what bothered me the most. I expressed my concern with my belly and that I didn't expect to be in supermodel condition after surgery, but that I just wanted to feel normal and for people not to mistake me for being pregnant. I also had concerns about my current weight and if the fat that was there was something that I could get off myself or if the procedure was necessary. He a made me feel like my expectations were attainable and explained in detail what he needed to do to correct the issue. His nurse Brenda was also excellent and I felt like the entire staff had my best interest at heart, not just their own agenda. Compared to the other doctor I visited with I felt so much more comfortable with Dr. Powell. My surgery was on November 24 and I stayed one night in the hospital (which I highly recommend if possible). He ended up taking out 4 lbs of fat and 2 lbs of skin. I woke up with very little pain and have miraculously had nearly zero real pain since the surgery. I think I took 4-6 pain pills after coming home and those were mostly just to sleep comfortably because I slept in the recliner for a few weeks. The pain was nothing like I had imagined it would be, so I don't know if I'm an exception or if it's normal, but I watched several YouTube videos and read a lot of blogs before committing to this procedure, so I went in expecting the worst. I did come home with drain tubes. One came out at my one week appointment and the other at my two week visit. I was back to work on the 8th day after my surgery for about half a day and have pretty much been full-time since then. I am a secretary so I don't have a lot of physical requirements at work. It did take me about 3 weeks to stand up completely straight and feel comfortable doing it so I avoided public places for a bit longer. My incisions have healed really nicely I haven't experienced any complications. My experience with him started in early November and I was just released at my 6-week visit two weeks ago. I started working out at a local gym this week and I am looking forward to seeing real results now that I can see past the belly. I still have a lot of areas that can use some work! I can't say enough for the personalized attention I received from Dr. Powell, his staff and the hospital staff. I am so pleased with my results and they are even better than I thought was possible.
It's not surprising that the vagina is different after a vaginal delivery. Usually, the muscles regain most of the tone at the vaginal opening and sexual relations between partners returns to be enjoyable for both partners. However, it is possible to tighten the muscles at the opening if a woman chooses, and an IUD would not be disturbed. The inner walls of the vagina are naturally designed to expand and contract. However, frequently the connective tissue support of the inner walls can be damaged by childbirth resulting in ongoing bulging of the inner walls. Fortunately, this can be repaired on an outpatient basis. If a woman were to have this kind of reparative surgery, I would advise them to have future babies by C-section to avoid a recurrence of vaginal damage.
