I am a single mother of 1 (7 yr old) have been wanting to do this surgery since 2008. Through life's challenges and obstacles; whether it be working, having a young child, not being able to have enough recovery time, or simply not financially able to; I am now in a position where everything seemed to line up! Hell yes I'm doing it now!!! I workout constantly, yet there is still that "sad-face" tummy. My stomach always small enough to where I can see my abs showing but then theres always that pouch and love-handles that I can't get rid of. Or the saggy boobs. I previously had a breast augmentation in 2006 (before a natural c; had saline, 480cc each side, over the muscle: end result, full DD with a natural look.) but after 7 years, a pregnancy, breastfeeding and plenty of weight fluctuations, my breasts are in need of upgrade. I can't say how excited, nervous, anxious and overwhelmed I am to FINALLY be able to do this!
I had a consult with Dr. Chacon in July 2014. I've had a few consults prior to meeting him. I used to drive by his office on my way home from work, and just decided to walk in one day. No appointment, but as soon as I walked in, the woman at the front desk was very pleasant and welcoming. Iris, she's super nice. Anyhow, I asked about getting a consult and lucky me, the Dr. was able to see me right then! The consult was complimentary. First Iris took me in her office to better explain who she is, a patient care coordinator. and to discuss my interests and goals for a mommy makeover. After speaking with her for several minutes, I was taken to a consult room and told to get into a gown. Dr. Chacon and Iris both came in for the examination. He asked what I was wanting and he said what he thought at that time would be best. He went over all of my concerns and answered my questions.. even me wanting my belly button lowered a little bit! After all the physical exam, I was taken into Dr's office to sit down and further discuss my goals and expectations My tummy tuck, we all know why we want tummy tucks! Make my waist as small as possible! My breast on the other hand, I want to go in a different direction than I did the first time. I am going with silicone gel implant, size is undetermined, but I'm thinking 600-700. and under the muscle. I know exactly the look I want; not outrageously big, but I do want them to sit high, side boob and fullness. I don't want so much of a natural look this time.
So in full, my surgery will consist of tummy tuck, breast lift with implant replacement, and lipo of the flanks.
I am nervous and ready. Still can't believe its really going to happen... in 6 weeks!!!

Although Ive been wanting to do this procedure for a very long time, I am a ball of nerves!! Anxious, nervous, worried, excited etc. I seriously cant get a good night's sleep (even with prescribed sleep meds). I workout at least 5 days a week, weights/ cardio, eat clean, drink plenty of water and have refrained from alcohol. Yet for the past few days , I get maybe a solid 4 hrs. Ugh, im sure this is normal. The waiting game!
Anyone else go through this?

Hi, I know how you feel. My procedure is in 8 days and I haven't had a good nights sleep for weeks. I was awake at 4am this morning and the surgery was on my mind from the second I opened my eyes.

How do your salines feel now?
November 12, 2014
I absolutely loved them when I first got them. They were soft and natural. After having a baby and gaining 65 lbs during pregnancy, and then 8 months of breastfeeding, they are saggy, and when I tilt my body to either side, I can see the rippling. I feel them jiggle (like water balloons) when I to any strenuous activity. I hate how if I lie on my back they just fall to each side of my body. I can't wait to upgrade.

Haha my natural breasts are like that. I've gave birth to and nursed 3 babies lol but no one in my area wants to give me silicone. (My age) But eventually I hear saline always ripples! Bummer. Lol I'm so scared to choose saline so are you afraid all that will happen again if you get saline? They look good
November 12, 2014
Thank you! This time Im getting silicone gel and submuscular. Im not opposed to saline, however, I am most definitely not a fan of the rippling and feeling like I have water balloons. Good luck to you girl!
November 13, 2014
I totally understand. They look so natural but like you said ypu aren't going for natural this time ha. Yeah I don't want that either!! Maybe I can convince them to give me gummy bears! Ha what was ypur natural size

I was originally a full 34 C. But from running a lot, they weren't perky and kinda drooped. My first breast aug was done in Oahu, HI June 2006. I loved them (even though I wished I had went bigger) but being young and so eager to show them off, I didn't adhere to the proper recovery process. I didn't really "do my homework". I just knew I wanted big boobs! I didn't have a surgical bra, went bra-less too many times to count and gravity definitely kicked in. This time around, I have a good idea of the look/size/shape I want. I will absolutely follow through with all recovery procedures and allow my body to heal. And... I will make sure to wear bras to support them!!! I hate my saggy droopy boobs lol
November 13, 2014
I'm glad you know what you want! I'm really thinking I should stay away from saline lol ugh that's what I thought I was gonna get too. Is your rippling visable?
November 13, 2014
yes. omg the rippling is very visible when i tilt my body to either side. because the skin is loose, and implants are over the muscle, they are totally visible.
