WORTH IT$13,900

I have one child she is 2 years old this year My pre pregnancy and normal breast size was 34B, Ive been dieting and going to the gym every day and working on my body by dieting and exercise. Now I measured 32 AA. Some things (lose skin, and deflated breasts) isn't something that going to the gym can help. I decided to look into the mommy makeover and have been researching for about a year. Cost, incision techniques, breast size, risks, age, silicone or saline, Board Certification, etc.. and Everything that you can imagine.

I finally decided this is something I want, so I took the step and made a consultation. The doctor told me that it was going to cost me high $13k almost $14k for a lift, augmentation, and tummy tuck. If i get saline, it will be 500 cheaper. I thought it wasn't too bad since I've been saving money for a while. I don't plan on having any more children in the future (just a personal preference) and it is very hard to raise children nowadays. If i were to get the surgery, I was planning on having it this June.

I have been going back and forth with making the decision to take the step and do it or not. Mainly because it will cost a lot and money isn't always something that comes along so easily. But I read everyday about other people's journey with a mommy makeover and most people say it is worth it, they feel like a new person. I've also read a lot about how women are "renewed" & how much better their lives are with self confidence. Speaking of self confidence, it is something that I have struggled with for many years of my life. I am not bad looking, it's just something normal that us women all go through from time to time. I feel that this surgery will be a big change. By the way, I am 96 pounds petite and 5'0 ft tall

Thank you so much for sharing your story and Before photo here on RealSelf! You really do look like someone who would be a great candidate for a mommy makeover (though you look larger than a AA). I hope you'll keep us updated on your journey. Have you decided for sure on your surgeon yet?

Yes, I have found a surgeon, I have a great feeling about this one because they made me feel very welcome and answered a long list of my questions.

I have finally made a deposit to go through with just the breast augmentation and lift. I decided not to get the tummy tuck, and just the breasts. The new price will be 9,500, originally 9,900 but she took off 500 because i will be paying cash. It was a big decision to make to get the breasts, and to be honest I was very nervous walking in to give the deposit. A few times I thought of backing out, but my boyfriend and my sisters are supportive of it.

Last night I didn't sleep so well because I was reading some horror stories about silicone and breast augmentation. I hope all goes well during this process. I will be deciding on a surgery date sometime in the beginning of June.

Are you in Southern California? $14K is a great price for all that you wanted and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving that surgeons name so I could possibly get a consult with him/ her. Thanks

time is coming closer to my pre op appt for mastopexy augmentation and I am so nervous. My pre op appointment is may 26th 2012. only a few weeks I feel like I want the tummy tuck since i put a deposit, I can always add it later on. But it is like back and forth, back and forth, should I get it or not. I really want to be able to show my stomach again and wear a bikini. It's like, I'm already getting the mastopexy augmentation, why not get all of it since it is just $4,000 more. It is such a big decision. I'm scared of the longer surgery time since it is breast AND stomach at one time. I'm scared of the anesthesia!
