WORTH IT
I'm a single mom of three. My twins were born via C-Section back in 2008. I was at my all time highest of 265 pounds at only 5'5" tall. When they were delivered I instantly lost 13 pounds in baby! However the rest of that weight I went on to carry for about 4 years. When I turned 30, I decided to make some more life changes and get my body back to a healthy state. Over the course of the next three years I lost a total of 110 pounds. While I felt fantastic physically, I felt weird and awkward in what I was left with. Lots of sagging and hanging skin. I first started my plastic surgery journey back in 2014. I went on three different consults, each with about the same cost and procedure types. Unfortunately, due to life circumstances, I wasn't able to book with any of them. I carried on and over the course of the last three years have been able to keep the weight off and now I'm at a period in my life where the timing couldn't be more perfect. When I went back into the research pool of plastics, I came across Dr. Mike Cheung and Dr. Chris Low at CRS Plastic Surgery. I went in for a consult, like I had done in the past, but found myself feeling super comfortable from the moment I walked in. Everyone there was really friendly and did not have that "sales pitchy" vibe. Because of the amount of surgery I'm looking to do (lift with breast aug and tummy tuck), I met with both of them, as they are working together to limit the amount of anesthesia time. Totally a plus for me. They took their time to answer all (even some silly) questions. They provided me with their personal cell number to contact them with any further (silly or not) questions. I immediately felt trust in them. They also had an adequate amount of before and after's of my procedures, and I was very impressed. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I can say that I couldn't be anymore excited. This team has really made it possible for me to move forward and I truly cannot wait. Please follow for updates, and my before/after mommy makeover transformation!

Mommy Makeover 35, Breast Lift and Aug, Tummy Tuck, Muscle Tightening
I am almost 2 months post op now. I cannot tell you how happy I am. The precision of my plastic surgeons hand is unbelievable. My scars are paper thin and I am healing phenomenally. I ended up getting 520CC HP in my right breast and 605CC HP in my left breast. Total surgery time was about 5 hours or so. I woke up typical groggy from anesthesia but with very minimal pain. I didn't experience much pain throughout the first couple days as I took my meds regularly. At my first post op, he removed my bandages and I literally started balling. The only other time I've felt happiness like that was giving birth to my children. I had a body that was actually better than before children! Such an amazing feeling that totally outweighed possible scars, pain, and cost. I completely trusted my surgeon and his staff from the get go which also made my experience that much better. I highly advise anyone to go to many different consults because only then you will find the right one for you. Some prefer bedside manner more so and some prefer skill and talent. I needed both. I found that in my surgeon.

You look great!! Belly button looks likes it's original. You're going to look even better when swelling goes down and all heals. I'm in the Ft Lauderdale area and am looking to get a TT with muscle tightening. If you don't mind, what did you pay? Do you know what the breakdown was for just the tummy tuck? I did my boobs before kids and am happy with them still.

Thank you! I feel amazing! The breakdown for the the tummy tuck and ab wall tightening came out to around 7,500.. some went towards the OR though so I don't know what cost went where, but that was for everything with that portion of my procedures. I do know that it depends also on the length of time in the OR and individual needs, so if you're only looking for a TT it may be a little less. Good luck on your journey! It is a great feeling to be a mom with an awesome body ;)

You look great. I literally have your same story minus the twins (gained 100lbs during childbirth years) and have lost it and have kept it off for 18 months. I've totally changed my lifestyle. I'm never going back to being obese again! I'm ready to eliminate my extra skin now and re-inflate my breaststroke. Ha! Do you wish you would've gone higher profile with your breasts? A few women I work with who have implants wish they would've gone higher profile because of how much sagging they have now. What was the total cost of the MM?
