WORTH IT$9,400

I'm 31 i have 2 kids a 14 & 1 yr old. i have never had a gut until now &I don't like the rolls I see. I want a tummy tuck and fuller boobs. I feel disgusted when I see myself naked. I'm hoping when I get the tt and see a flat tummy that ill be motivated and take better care of my body. About 5 yrs ago I went from 220 to 160 I was happy and motivated started a new job had a new man and the lbs shed off, but I don't have the same motivation. after I had the baby i droped 40 lbs in a week but I became depressed and gained the weight back he would wake up every hr for a bottle so when he ate...I ate. I don't want anymore kids im happy with the two i have. I just want to get my body right so I can feel good about myself. I honestly never considered a tt till now cuz of the rolls and kangaroo pouch that never went away even when I dropped 60 lbs. as far as a boob job I was thinking about doing that for more than 5 yrs. I put a payment down to save the date for surgery or price for the surgery. I think my only concern is my back is killing me I don't know if its because my ass is so big and my waist is small or maybe could be something else so I don't know if I should add the boobs yet cuz won't it add more to my back problems? I'm thinking maybe start with the tt? one dr said I should wait cuz my waist will be smaller with the tt and lipo and will make my boobs look bigger. Everyone that I have told I want a boob job looks at me like I'm crazy and ask for what a reduction I'm like no to make em fuller these damn victoria secret bra add two cups help...lol. I'm tired of taking off my bra and my boobs look sad... I'm a 38D but not a full D I want full perky boobs!!! Does anyone have any suggestions on should I wait to do the boobs and just do my tummy.

Go for it but investigate the dr and the facility carefully make sure the facility has nurses to care for you if the dr is not there and if there are drs on call 24/7 It is important since emergencies arise

Just because you have large boobs, doesn't mean they are what you want. Maybe a lift and augmentation would give you the look you want. I'm doing a mommy makeover in 4 weeks. I chose to do both breast and tummy at the same time. One anesthesia, one recovery, one hot mama!! I know each case is different and there are many factors to take into consideration. I would suggest consulting with a few board certified surgeons in your area and get their advice. They do these types of surgeries all day long and really know what works best.

Lol ur cute I wish u luck thanks I don't want big boobs I want them full like when I was prego they look like they were on steroids lmao they were full round and happy now they look sad! The place I'm going to will do both a friend of mines went and they did a good job I am nervous but I want the tt more then the boobs but if I can manage to somehow save or get credit to do it I'd too rather do both in one time n get it over with but I been having back problems so idk if adding more weight to the boobs will hurt my back more?

Just be sure of the dr and the facility that it has ample 24/7 Care Investigate other facilities before you make the commitment. Drs do not want to do the boobs and tummy at once because the tummy takes five hours alone I know I had it done good bra is the best answer trust me I was thinking of it But look over the facility where the dr works out of it is very important for after care

Hey Drama, I am 7 weeks po TT, MR, lipo and BA. I had my surgery in Jax, FL. There are some pretty good surgeons out here and most will do both the BA and TT at the same time. I did both at the same time; surgery was a little over 4 hours; but I did both so I would only have one recovery period. The first week was back pain due to the "bent overness" from the TT, but over all not bad at all. Even a small implant may give you that "perkiness" you want! Good luck:)

Thank u for responding I've always wanted a boob job but now with the 2nd kid 14 yrs latta I feel like the tt is more important to me I'm trying to get my money together cuz it's 9000 for the ba and tt w lipo then the nurse is 350 a day I was trying to see where else I could get a nurse near ft lauderdale to help w recovery? Did u have family help u a nurse? Or did u do it on ur own? I'm scared to be on my own my man doesn't want me to do it so idk what ima do cuz I need his help and he is against it I hope when the day comes he would be more supportive! Till then I been tryin to save and do ot but its hard and a bit stressful

I had an aide for 125 for 24 hrs I am alone. I fired them after two days ad did it on my own If your man is against it try and talk it out. Who is your dr. I had a dr in fl Lauderdale but the facility was not set up for 24/7 care and the dr was only available two days a week so I cancelled there I am going to a place in palm springs in west palm and the people staff and drs are awesome and there is 24/7 care in fact I am having some minor work done fri. And they have their own facility and the aneatesiaolist. ( sorry for the misspelling ) is awesome as well. I have been dealing with them for three years and trust them emplistly

I wish it was 125 she wants $350 for 1 full day for 3 days 1000 money don't grow on trees I'm trying to save for the surgery itself. I'm nervous cuz when I had a belly piercing it got infected and when I pierced the top of my ear that got infected too. So I would want someone with me at least the 1st 2days to make sure I'm cleaning or doing everything right? I wanna go to dr Alexander in south florida center in Fort Lauderdale I'm coming from ny ny he is board certified and the dr are on call 24/7

Go to a dr in your home area recovery takes at least three months and numerous visits. I was going to the dr at least once a week for three months There. Are good drs in my. Think teice about having surgery away from home area. A word to the wise. Nurses aides are in agencies and they ate just as good

Hi! Im 1 week post op full tummy tuck and breast reduction/augmentation. I had twins and my body lost all elasticoty. All I can say is go for it if u have help afterwards. Make sure you rest a lot. I was always a size 36d but after pregnancy my boobs got all saggy. I have never seen my boobs so perky and alive. My belly is not perfect and my skin lost all elasticity but its flat and that's all that matters to. Im so happy oli did it. Make sure u go to gp a day before surgery to make sure u r in good health. I went to d op feeling a bit run down and ended up with a massive chest infection which put my healing time back by 3 days. Now all ok. Just do it!!!!!!!

Drama mamaMarch 14, 2013
So I have 7weeks to finish saving up money. Been trying to do ot on at least 1 of my days off. Idk what to do I know I have enough for the tt wich has now been more important to me then the ba. U say its better to just do both at the same time dr alexander is board certified and would do the boob and tt at the same time. So I'm wondering if I manage to save the money by may 2should I just do it or wait till sept when I can apply for Fmla in my job. Since I was out 9 months after the baby I don't have enough hrs to apply for it. I just returned to work in nov so I have to work n build hrs. Unless 2weeks vacation is enough to recover from both? I'm a bus operator and I sit all day unless I have a wheel chair passenger then I would have to get up and bend down to strap then in. I'm nervous I really wanna do this but now it's a matter of when!!!!
I been going back to the gym to try and lose these thunder thighs. Each leg is 31inches my ass is about 48 inches going around hip, waist is about 37& I'm 215, 5'5 some of me wants to lose weight but I read one dr wrote don't CUZ then it's more lose skin to cut if u lose weight?

Drama mamaMarch 17, 2013
Today is march 17, 2013 and I have found motivation to go to the gym and work out. for the last 2 weeks i been going to the gym and walking alot instead of using my car. so ima postpone the surgery for may and give myself time to lose weight. And also to build hrs so I can get Fmla at work. I really want my body back and I'm motivated so today I weighed myself at 213 in oct I was 224 so I am going in the right direction but it feels like its taking so long though before I wasn't as motivated as I am now and I'm the type of person once I set my mind to do something I will do it!!! I've lost 60lbs before and I will try my best to do it again.

Lose all the weight first because recovery is three months and if you lose more weight. The tuck will be useless. Any surgeon in his right mind will tell you that

You should get at the weight that you want to maintain because if you lose more weight you have to doit again the doctor that said dont lose weight is an [RS bleep] pardon the expression. I lost all the weight I wanted and the got it done why do it twice. Getting more skin off is a problem for him not you You have to cut the skin off anyway so why pay for it twice and go thru with the recuperation twice. He is just After your money. Nix him lose all the weight first
