I was always a small but curvy girl, but after having 3 kids all born via c-section close together (they are currently ages 4 yrs, 21 mos, and 8 mos) I looked like a mess. I gained 70 lbs with my first and never quite lost it. I stuck at about 170. After I had my 3rd and it was a girl (after 2 boys) I decided I was done. I worked my butt off and got back to within 10 lbs of my before weight, but I couldn't believe how different I looked. I knew the stretchmarks weren't going anywhere but I was surprised at the extra skin. I made the difficult decision to wean my daughter early so I could get my Mommy Makeover.

When I went in for my consult, I I felt completely at ease. The staff was great, and the Dr is wonderful. I have a friend that went to him for her BA and it looks awesome so I knew I was in good hands.

After I watched a video, they came in an measured me, and then I tried on some sizers. I liked the 425cc silicone the best, but I think I want to go bigger (which I will address at my pre-op in 2 weeks).


Right now I am anxious and nervous. And I am starting to worry that I won't get results for some reason. I am also now wondering if I should do lipo on my inner thighs as well.

So many things to think about!!

Hey welcome! You date isn't to far away! Are you getting tt and BA? Lipo anywhere? Are you so excited?

Yep! He will be doing lipo of the flanks and upper stomach, so that is why I was wondering if I should get the inner thighs done while I was at it. I have always had touching thighs lol. I am SOOOO excited! I keep looking in the mirror and imagining how I am going to look with my breasts big and the extra skin gone :)

I am getting the exact same lipo and I think I have decided to do the inner and outer of thighs- but I have to figure out the extra cost.

Forgot to ask how many cc's are you going with?

I have to figure out the extra cost too. My preop is Sept 5th so I will ask then. I tried on 425cc sizers at my consult, but I don't know if they are going to get me as big as I want. Another thing for the preop!

Well today was the pre-op. I decided to go ahead and add lipo to the inner thighs for an extra $900, and I think I am going to be happy that I did. I think otherwise I might look at them and wish I did. The PS said there was really no fat to take off the outer thighs, and that there is just a really small area that needs work.

And I made my decision. 500cc Mentor Mod+ implants!!! I am excited for sure!!

2 weeks and day now....

I have quite a bit to update!

I freaked out a couple of days after my pre-op that the 500cc Mod + weren't going to be big enough, so I called my PS. I said that since I was a DD while nursing I really wanted to be at least there or bigger, and that the nurse told me that 500 was the biggest I could go with my breast width. Well, he told me that going with 600 high profile would work too, so I told him to order them up! Then a few days later, I decided to make some rice sizers for fun, and I only filled them to 550cc to adjust for what you lose going under the muscle and... Whoa. HUGE. I measured what I would be for a bra, and I got 32H. Yikes!! But I wanted big, and I know I would be more upset if they weren't big enough.


I told my MIL and one of my SIL about the tuck part, but not the boobs. I don't know why that part is weird to me. And I picked up my scripts yesterday. I have been getting stuff in order at home, and Tuesday night just me and DH are going to the mall to get some comfy clothes for after and I am going to drop my ring off to get repaired.

It's soooooo weird to be at the part where I can say, "This day next week I will be a brand new me" It almost surreal. I cannot believe I am in the position to be able to do this cause I wanted it so badly you know??

I'm feeling the same thing about how surreal it is that surgery is coming so quickly! So strange! Mine is the 27th, but I know the week and a half will be over in the blink of an eye. Good luck with your surgery!
