I am 5'5 and currently weigh 160lbs. After having my children at a very young age my body is nowhere near what it used to be. Today I have confirmed and scheduled my mommy makeover with Dr. Kalantarian, I can not wait for July 30th. I personally know 3 women that have gone to him before and I love the way they look. I know we are all different but I am not looking for perfection just improvement and I am sure Dr. K will give me that. He and his staff are very nice and they make themselves available for any questions and concerns. They are very helpful and supportive.

Congrats on your date drawing near. I also live in FV. :0). I go in two days, 7/2/15. My Dr. Is Tenley K Lawton. She comes highly recommended by a former coworker that works in her office. Good luck.

I'm doing better than I thought I would. First two night were somewhat sleepless. Got my first shower today, but didn't get my hair washed. My daughter is coming tomorrow after work to do it for me. I still have my Foley catheter in and guess it comes out Tuesday on my Post op visit. I did take out the two, on Q local pain catheters. It lasted the 72 hours to get you through the rough days. I'm feeling more burning and as if I've got several pulled abdominal muscles. I'd highly recommend gas X around the clock to help with painfull gas pains. Also sleep in a recliner chair for the first week. I ordered wedge pillows from bed bath and beyond, for bed sleeping. I've used the smaller one for under my knees in my recliner. Used a Shower chair and a toilet lift. All have been perfect. A doughnut travel pillow or rolled hand towel for sleeping in the recliner chair. I had old implants removed and replaced with a breast lift, tummy tuck And Lipo to upper abdomen, under arm axelary folds, and pubis area. Had a little fat pocket there and she said it'd look really smooth with the tummy tuck. Start taking the arnica and bromalane two weeks before. I'm a horrible bruiser and it seems to have helped. I'm excited to welcome you to the perky, flat side.
Keep me posted. I have logged any photos yet. I'll do that soon.

If you look at people's reviews, you often find the lists embedded in their posts. There is probably some helpful information under PROCEDURES, then google Mommy Makeover. Usually the Community Managers chime in with helpful tips and where to find more information....

650cc is that too big?

bar88
I uploaded pre op pictures I can not wait for post op!!

I HAVE A SPECIAL REQUEST: anyone that has 650cc please tell me how you feel about your new girls. My ps recommends 650cc for me but I don't want them too big.

That seems large to me...
July 10, 2015
I spoke with my ps today. He said that the reason for such a large number is because high profile implants are smaller in diameter. So, if I were to get smaller implants I would have a big gap between my breast. I need high profile implants as I lack fullness on the top part of my breast. I feel better he predicts a full C or small D cup and I am completely fine with both, so I will just trust his expertise and hope he is right.

Funny, I just posted how we have the same surgery date and stats, and it just so happens that I'm getting 650CCs HP too! They recommended that when I told them I wanted high profile implants based on my measurements. I think we're gonna look great! We have so many similarities, it's funny! SOOO looking forward to following yoU!
July 27, 2015
lol that is too funny I can not wait to see your results.. well our results! Are you nervous? This is my first surgery ever and although I am super excited I am so scared and nervous.
July 29, 2015
I'm a little nervous but mostly excited!
July 29, 2015
Oh and I've had a bunch of surgeries before which is probably why I'm not nervous about going under. Been there, done that!! haha.
