So I thought I would begin recording this journey since before I have my first consultation just too see my fellow RS's can advice.
I am 26 I had my oldest when I was 17. Breastfeed for 2 months. I had stretch marks but nothing too bad. Of course my self-conscious brain though didn't appreciate the little stripes I had then.
2012 I had my twins (6,5 and 5,5 19") pre-pregnant i was 112 and 2 days before my c-section i was 165.(WOAH yea i stretched) After the twins were born I lost weight very quickly however I got the saggy wrinkly skin. I breastfed for about 3 months so my breasts got deflated from the nice perky breasts I had when I was 17.
I am 4'11 and since the twins were born my weight has gone varied from 130 being the heaviest to 110 being the lowest. I am currently 112 and I plan on getting back in the gym to tone.
I went to my waxer today and I mentioned to her that I started doing research and I started thinking about Breast Augmentation and a tummy tuck to get rid of the excess skin. She insisted it does not look that bad and that maybe a lot of abs can tighten the area. I will be posting pictures soon of what I look like now and what my wrinkly skin looks like when I am a little on the heavier side. I think when I am a little fuller you cant see the wrinkles as bad as when I lose more weight.
My waxer really got me thinking about maybe just starting with the BA since the tummy tuck requires longer healing time. As of now I am leaning more towards no tummy tuck FOR NOW and more for the BA. Maybe once I get a BA i wont be as focused on my tummy part.
I want to do this for me, I have been self-conscious over my body since I can remember. My partner insists there is nothing wrong but I hate to be mean to him when I tell him I am not doing it for him but I am doing it for myself.
This all began to escalate when my 4 yr old son asked to see a swimsuit i have had since before he was born and its a one piece that has slits right around the belly button area and he asked me not to wear it because "he didn't like the tummy area" now I know he might have been just protective of me and doesnt like skin showing but of course I took it as he doesnt like my wrinkly tummy LOL. I plan on going to a couple of consultations in my area to see what they think about my skin. Also I am leaning more towards it because I have excess skin under my c-section scar. I believe its the mon pubis and I had read somewhere that a surgeon can address that issue when they do tummy tucks.
anyway i will upload pics soon and would like to know what some of you may think about it.
