Hello RealSelf Community! First and for most,...

Hello RealSelf Community!

First and for most, love this site! It has helped me in many ways. I am 30 yrs. old with 3 beautiful boys. I had my first son in my teens and boy was my body not ready for that! I got stretch marks everywhere, breasts, belly, hips, butt, thighs, inner thighs, and back of legs! Never wore a bikini again. In 2003 after I had my 2nd son I had my breasts done with 360cc saline implants to help fill out the lost volume with the 2 prior pregnancies. Then 7 yrs later I had my 3rd son in 2010 (surprise surprise). Was not expecting that but best thing that ever happen to our family. Now we are definitely done with babies & I'm ready to repair my body. Ever since I had my first baby I have always dreamed of removing my strech marks on my hips and belly and after bre
ast feeding my last baby I really needed to get my breasts redone. I have decided to go with bigger implants this time. Somewhere between 500-550 and silicone. I will also have a full TT with muscle repair. Scheduled for April 9th! I'm starting to get nervous and anxious. I will post some before pics soon.

Hello , I wanted to see if you love Dr.koybasi as much as I have . He was recommnded to me by my neighbor Dr.koybasi's long term colleague. . My friend sent me to Dr. Koybashi after I got my mommy makeover basically . My husband gave me two surgeries one being new fake bobbies!. My second pair! I went to the Same Dr in otange county that did my surgery for my breast 20years ago . The Dr did my revison and it was a notch . No where to turn and nobody to listen Infound Dr.koybashi!!!. I will be having surgery with him aftet the holidays for my thurs breast aug and going very very small compared to my old implants ... It's what u want!. I have felt like I have really messed up thinking my former suergeon was a warm verted person . Come to find out that wasn the case . OMG!!! I am so happy with dr. Koybashi!!!. Whatever lead me to him is in the past . I love him so much!!!! All I can say is I wish I met him 12yeats ago . He is so genuine!. I'm sure his bed side manner is great as well? I am sure he calls and checks up on you and teally cares for you as a individual. I am so happy your pleased with your results!. I'm a mommy of three girls and I am so hesitant this time Around after my other complications with my other dr. I seriously LOVE ! LOVE! LOVE! Dr koybashi. I'm pleased with every single visit this far with Dr.koybashi . A great guy!

I just posted some before pics but to be honest I look alot worse in person where you can see all my loose stretched skin :( I have always hated the gap in between my breast and hope with bigger implants it will fill in that are more.

Can someone help me find a post I read 1-2 months ago that had a great list of things to purchase and do prior to surgery? Maybe recommend someone's review that has this type of info.
Thx!

Thanks so much for starting your story on RealSelf! For what it's worth, I think your breasts look really nice right now.

Do you have plenty of help with the boys for your recovery?

Hi Angiemcc, My boys are 14, 10, & 2. My older boys will be at home with me and my little one will be a grandma's house for 3-4 days. My husband is taking time off work to take care of me & the older boys at home.

Hi busymomx3, I'm 3 weeks post op & if I could suggest something for your list - it would be the electric recliner! I rented one from RAC (rent a center) & it was worth 27.00 per week! My other suggestion is to get a Brazilian wax!!! I did not do that & the hair growing back in the vayjayay area drove me nuts!!!!!! I went out & bought most of the items on the list & maybe used 1/3 of them. Everyone's surgery/recovery is different. Good luck with your surgery!

Hi JayLu29, Thank you so much for the suggestions. I was on the fence about getting the electric recliner but now I definitly will get one. I'v actually never been waxed (too self-contious) but maybe I will give it a try. Happy healing and take care!
