ORIGINAL POST
I am a 35 year old, mother of an 8, 3, and 1 year...
$16,000
I am a 35 year old, mother of an 8, 3, and 1 year old, SAHM. I am 5’7, 140 pounds. I have always had nonexistent breasts. I remember in High school when the boys would put their hand on my chest and tell me it felt like touching a wall. I also have freakishly large and prominent nipples. I started to develop some breast during pregnancy but my already HUGE nipples got bigger wtf! My once flat tummy was stretch to the max. I went from 115llbs to 170llbs. I am done baby making and am so ready for a mommy makeover. I was complaining about my body to my husband one night and he told me to go for it (guess he got tired of hearing it), I was like “I can get a mommy makeover, are you sure??!! “ he said to go for it! So I scheduled a consult after weeks of research got my consult and got the price. Now we are saving up for the SX. I don’t think he realize that a mommy makeover is not just BA, I am dreading that talk with him because I am scare he might change his mind.
I told my sister and she is happy for me, She told my mother who is not happy about my decision at all. She told me I am being selfish and that I am to old to change my body. I already have a husband and three kids why try to make myself look better if I already have what I need in life. Asian parents are sometime every old school. She thinks the money should go toward buying a home for my family. It went on and on and on, how I shouldn’t risk my life to just look pretty. She made me feel really bad and selfish. I was pretty depressed for a while, but after a talk with my husband who convinced me that it is time for me to do something for myself and not others I am once again determine to go thru this. I was hoping to have some support and help PO but I guess it will not be coming from my family.
Some of my concerns are:
My kids, I am worried about how they are going to react and do without me while I am recovering.
My Husband, how he is going to react to taking care of me and my kids while I am recovering.
My recovery, the pain, swelling and end result.
I am glad that I found this website, I love reading everyone’s experience. I have learned a lot. Which is why I decided to share my story…
I have not set up a surgery date yet, we are saving up and should have 70% of the payment by the end of this yr. We plan on financing the rest, 6month no interest with CareCredit. Also still have to have the “Talk” with my husband to enlighten him on what MY mommy makeover will involved. I am still trying to bring up some courage to do that and to post pics of myself. Wish me luck..

I’m 34a and am looking to go to a full C. Going off of my first consult as of right now I am going with 350-375cc Silicone under the muscle, inframammary incisions, but I want to try on more sizes before confirming.
I’m also going back on the Paleo diet. I wanted to support my husband lower his cholesterol by going vegetarian for a month (no meat was hard for me) so I have been off track. I went a little crazy after the month was over and gain 10 pounds. I want to lose the ten that I gain and tone by body in preparation for the SX.
Took me a while to actually press the update button lol but here they are no going back... scary, never felt so exposed lol. OMG, wow this is hard.

First of this doctor has done some amazing transformations! Secondly just have lots of help other than your husband! It gets overwhelming for everyone pretty quickly. Men can not handle the everyday stresses of kids, house, work and everything else that goes along with it. I don't care how wonderful your husband is....they just aren't built for this long term. I'm recovering from a tummy tuck with no lipo so really compared to others my recovery isn't painful. It's just loooong! You have to be prepared in every way for recovery. Mentally I'm so ready to be doing my normal routine but physically my body and surgeon won't let me. It's weeks before you have the stamina to do even a little bit like make dinner. Taking a shower wipes me out completely! And I had only one procedure! We all heal at different rates but my recovery is pretty typical with no issues. It's just letting your body heal! I had very strong words with my husband before my surgery to not underestimate the time I need to heal. No negative statements, no complaints allowed! I earned this time! He's had his moment's but he's never made any statements to try to make me feel guilty or anything. ..I have his mom who is a saint plus some help from my mom. My kids are definitely affected by the change in routine, but they'll get over it. My point is just make sure everyone around you understands the gravity of your surgery and you need weeks just to start to feel semi normal! No negativity allowed! Even if you need to hire help do it! It'll definitely be worth it in the end. I totally need my boobs re done but I couldn't afford to do them together plus it's just too much recovery at once for me personally. ..I wish you tons of luck! Keep us posted!

Thank you! I know for a fact my husband won't be able to handle daily household/kids routine while I am recovering long or short term lol. I wish I had extra family and friends support but I don't. I have a plan that I am going to run by him and I am pretty sure he is going to agree to it (just so he doesn't have to deal with it). During my recovery period I am going to have the two youngster in daycare while my oldest is in school. My family are two hours away and wont help me, his family are in different states so they won't be able to help. I lost almost all my "close" friend when I had kids so that is not an option. I don't want to have to hire help, I think my husband needs to step up and take care of me while recovering. I deserve it. I love my kids and my husband (most of the time) but mommy needs makeover! lol. I rarely ever make demands and I feel like I always give give give. It's my turn, Thank you so much I am going to have a talk with my husband just to make sure he knows what I expect from him ;-) Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Just a comment on husband help. I just had a ba done by Dr. Clark in folsom (by the way, she did an excellent job). Prior to surgery, I made sure that my husband knew the basics of what had to be done and that I simply could not lift my arms and would be resting for the next 5 days or so. In some ways, he really stepped up and was on top of making sure I got my medications on time and I had plenty to eat. He also made sure our child (age 4) was getting cleaned and properly (almost) fed. however, with the exception of the dishes, many things went undone. All things considered though, things went well. Just don't expect too much beyond the basics from the husband.

lol, sounds like my husband, after giving birth to each of my kids he took excellent care of me and the kids, but my house took a beating. I am going to hire someone to come clean it at least once a week. I already started making freezer meal and plan to have enough for at least two month. I am planning ahead as much as possible to help him help me lol. If he doesn't take care of me like he is suppose to I am going to tell his mom on him haha.

Thirty five is YOUNG! I'm sorry your mom isn't be more supportive. And also, teenage boys can be such jerks!! "Flat as a board" is what I heard. Very hurtful and soooo stupid.
