WORTH IT
I have been wanting a mommy makeover for 7 years now as my body never recovered from the twin pregnancy and after contemplating and getting my husband onboard...the big day is almost here! April 8th is the bid day...I am very nervous about the recovery and I have the ability to work from home so hoping I can start doing emails within a few days of my MM. Crossing my fingers!

GIRL! I am SO happy for you! Simply beautiful work!! I hope for a beautiful outcome like yours! xoxox How much was your total cost and lipo the hip area, didn't think of that. Was told my sides would have lipo but not hip- need to think this through.

Thanks! I had a full tummy tuck, lipo on my flanks, outer thighs, breast lift/augmentation/implants so had the woks for my mommy makeover. I had a friend get a tummy tuck from another doctor and did not get her flanks lipo'd and she wish she had done that but her doctor did not do that with his tummy tucks so my suggestion is ask about that when discussing your options. Good Luck!

Would love to hear outcome and see photos, I'm doing mine end of year. Hoping I have enough saved for all.

Is a recliner with a lift really needed for MM?

For those that had a recliner for your MM...do you highly suggest it? For those that did not have a recliner...do you wish you had a recliner?

Okay...I ended up renting a recliner with a lift and best decision ever! Getting out of bed or even off the sof was extremely difficult and painful so if you can rent a recliner with an electric lift...hands down worth every penny!

Great info! I rented a lift chair too...supposed to be delivered in 1 week, and I have it for 2 weeks.

I think this will be the only way I'll be able to sleep. Where did you two ladies rent your recliners/ lifts from?

I googled it online and found a location near me in Chicago. It cost about $200 for 2 weeks and it included delivery and pickup. I ended up putting it in my family room...worth every penny. :)

Thank you. That's a very reasonable price considering how helpful it'll be during recovery. Thanks again. I'm definitely going to rent one when my time comes.

I don't think a recliner is necessary as long as you have help getting in and out of bed the first 10 days

I also forgot to mention I had my stomach muscles repaired so that is why it may have been so hard to get out of bed or off a sofa. I am 15 days post op and had my lift recliner sent back yesterday and I actually wish I still had it a few more days. Lol!

I am 3 weeks post TT and breast reduction and did not have a recliner. If you can get one, do it. I can't sleep worth a darn. Wish I had one. Best of luck to you. It will be great , even without a recliner. It just is nice to get for sleeping soundly.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm a twin mom as well and I know exactly what you're talking about! I hope you get the results you're looking for and that you find all the support you need in this community. Please keep us posted!
