A Mommy Makeover In Bangkok that I should have gotten 17 years ago.

Bangkok Mommy Makeover
WORTH IT
I made the choice to do this for me. I have always taken care of everyone else first. I work out, but recently suffered a major injury that will continue to bother me the rest of my life. I spent 6 months without really be able to move, resulting in reduced confidence and mild depression. My children are all adults now. I am so glad I had my husband's support. I got this surgery during a global pandemic, in a foreign country. Nerve racking to be sure.
Pre-surgery I was a USA size 4 (having gained weight from my injury, previously a size 0-2) With 34DD breasts. I kept having to tuck them, I hated bathing suits. I had gained 75lbs (34KG) with one of my kids and 60lbs (27.2KG) with another one, so I had extra skin.
Dr Kanit suggested an "anchor lift with implant" for the breasts. He put in "Mentor Smooth 350 CC High Profile Gel" implants "UNDER the muscle".
He did a tummy tuck, and thigh Lipo.
I stayed 3 days in the hospital, he removed the drains on day 3. 7 days post op he took out the stitches at his clinic, with the exception of the ones under my breasts, as they needed more time to heal. His staffed messaged me everyday, asking for photos. I was able to get the stitches under my breasts out 14 days post op. It took about a month post op to stand up straight.
6 weeks post op I had some "spitting stitches" and the doctor looked at them and removed them for me.
My concerns were that the breast were so large right after the surgery (Yikes) But they are about the same size as before now, they just look way better.
I had a concern about my allergies, the medical adhesive causes me an allergy, so I had to stope taping my belly button as my skin was looking very bad.
I had concern about the hard spots near the bottom of my anchor incision. Mostly these have been disappearing over time (18 weeks post op tomorrow).
My belly button gave me stress, it looks good now. The "ugly white bubble belly button" eventually looked cute, I asked the doctor about it and he said it would be wonderful.
I was stressed about the breasts healing different from each other, but that is the nature of having surgery on breasts. I was worried about the dropping, the "square shape" and nipple scars.
Dr Kanit is a very nice man and an excellent surgeon. He speaks English, some of his staff does not, but they still take care of you. I have serious life threatening drug allergies, and I have anxiety with all medical procedures. He put my mind at ease, and the surgery went by quickly.
So far so good. I will update more at 6 months and again at a year.

4 Years 10 Months & 5 Days Post Update.
This is my body 4 years, 10 months and 5 days post surgery. Had to have a biopsy on my left breast from some scary tissue. Had a shape change and some dropping accompanied by a rash that didn't go away for 10 months. The rash has cleared up and I have healed from my biopsy (6 months ago). I'm 47, 165cm and 51kg.
So do I regret my surgery? Absolutely not. Worth it still. I'm not in love with my nipple shape/ scaring but they look way better than before. My breasts are the same size they were prior but sit better. I can go braless if I want (not that I do) and I do look great in non-underwire bras. I love my tummy and my belly button. Feel free to ask any questions. No one can tell I've had work done so that is a plus for this old lady.
