After researching numerous doctors in the Denver...
WORTH IT
After researching numerous doctors in the Denver Metro area I chose Dr. Steven Vath for my TT and breast lift! He is so warm, sweet and caring. I was only looking for a no drain TT and he was the only doctor that offered this without charging more money! If a doctor knows how to perform a no drain TT why would they even offer the drain one, or worse, actually charge more to do one? This said a lot about a Dr. Vath and his practice!
I'm a tiny woman at 5'2" and currently 116lbs. I've been self conscious about my belly for the last 11 years. I had to have a c-section done. I was always worried that a man I was dating wouldn't be able to get aroused after seeing my belly! My breast lift is needed more because of my age than my pregnancy I believe! Can't blame that on my wonderful child! Lol
I'll keep everyone updated on my progress and post new after pics within 6 months after Dr. Vath works his wonders!

You look like the perfect candidfate for one of his double whammy makeovers because you are narrow..so its just skin..Your waist is going to be tiny!:-)

It's a bit more than just skin and I know Dr. Vath will give me the most beautiful tummy than anyone else in the country! Please keep us updated and I'm debating whether to post pics under a week post-op. I'll definitely post pics when I know I'm completely healed. It's 38 days and counting

I am looking at getting a TT and a breast lift/ augmentation in the Denver area too. Im excited to hear how much you needed up paying for everything and the results.
September 14, 2015
I was always curious about the cost when I was researching and I never really got a answer. I guessed it was anywhere from 11-18k. I'm not getting an augmentation though so you're cost will be higher. Best of luck and within 3 months I'll post pics!

How are you feeling now on your post opt?
December 15, 2015
I'm feeling great! I'm at 99% of my workout routine now. My breasts have settled exactly the way I wanted them to. The scar on one breast is healing faster than the other one by about 2 weeks. My TT scar is low and in the purple/red stage. Healing nicely considering I'm barely past my 2 month post op mark. It still feels like there is something under my skin in the middle of my abdomen! It doesn't hurt, just different. It's better than it was a month ago! I think you have a nice butt btw! You're going to LOVE the new you! I didn't really have any emotional ups and downs either. Best of luck to you and keep us posted!

Thank you. I will have the procedures next week. I'll post the post opt just as soon as I can. I am debating to get a breasts implants but I had calcification on my left breast so I will probably leave my breasts alone. Keep us posted and glad you are healing super fast. Take care.

Just thought I'd pop across to find your review - you look absolutely incredible - I'm so envious that you only needed a lift as you have plenty of natural breast tissue. Beautiful result :-)
January 24, 2016
Thank you PussicatEF! With everything in life, we all want what we don't have. I'm envious of your beautiful full breasts and you love my breast tissue. Ha! We are very fortunate either way and chose excellent surgeons :-))

'Twas the night before
surgery and all through the house not a creature was stirring...not even my anxiety! At this time, in 12 hours, I'll be in the operating room sleeping while Dr. Vath works his wonders. I'm not afraid like I thought I would be tonight. I'm calm, accepting my choice and ready for Christmas so I can see the full results!
Has anyone wondered what surgeons do to wake up? Coffee can't be good!
I've lost 28 pounds after quitting my 26 year smoking habit almost two years ago! I wanted to be as healthy and thin as I could before the surgery.
I'll post the pics of my new and much improved body in a month or two :-)

Good luck to you this week! I'll tell you, the tummy tuck is painful! Plan on being on the pain meds for a good 4-5 days. I've heard augmentation is painful as well and I hope you do fantastic. I can guarantee you that you will LOVE the results that Dr. Vath gives you! I just showered yesterday and my breasts look perfect and my tummy is so tiny!!
October 11, 2015
Keep calm on surgery day, everything will go great! Have a thin tank top to wear over your compression bra and UNDER the abdomen garment. It gets itchy and the tank top really helps. Definitely have someone to help you the first 3-4 days. You will need help drying off after your first shower. Other than that, listen to your body and rest. You will LOVE the results and we will be so happy with our decision once we're healed and back to our regular routine!

How did it go?? He is incredible so I am sure you will be shocked and awed.
That said .I gotta say..looking at your pics I never would have thought you a candidate for a tummy tuck. You look like you are a skinny minny.; )

Hey! To be honest, the tummy tuck is more painful than I anticipated! I had a c-section with my son and thought this would be similar, but this is worse! It's so worth it though! I was able to shower yesterday and my tummy is so tiny! I thought I might be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck; however, after much research I knew I had muscle damage and needed a full tummy tuck. My breasts look fantastic! They only itch a little! I'm so glad I found and chose Dr. Vath! He's PERFECT! I'll be going to him for an eyebrow lift in 3-4 years and that will be the end of plastic surgery procedures for me. If you plan on having a child or two later in life, start saving for a MMO now! I'll post pics within two months!
P.S. I LOVE your breasts btw! You chose the perfect size and shape for your beautiful body!

Thank you for the compliment ! Just saw this as I havent been on RS until today..and was checking on you:-) You look absolutely beautiful. Not sure what an eyebrow lift is but he is defintely in my radar for years from now for anything else. I am sorry it is so painful but you LOOK incredible. So glad you chose him.

The pain is getting better everyday! This morning some coffee went down the "wrong tube" and I coughed several times. Whew, that hurt like hell!!
A eyebrow lift is what anyone gets before they need an eyelid lift. As we age we develop a little piece of skin that causes our eyes to change shape because it sags so much. Your grandparents eyes would have it. An eyebrow lift will prevent this from happening to such a full extent that you need an the more expensive eyelid and eyebrow lift. I consider it preventative maintenance

I've had 4 C-Secs and you said the pain was worse?? Not to mention I will have drains, what was the hardest part and what do you recommend me purchasing before ny surgery (Dec 16th)?
November 25, 2015
Yes, it is the most pain I have been through so far. It's different than a c-section. We can get up and be mobile after a night of rest. With the TT you need help laying down and sitting up! After you read this, that night when you lay down feel what muscles your using. Sit up from the bed and, again, feel what muscles your using. Driving, stairs etc! Get simple things to eat the first day or two. Apple sauce and protein shakes will help! My scarring is looking really good and I added CoQ10 to my vitamins as well. Best of luck and remember...the first week is the worst. Once you get through that it's just time and patience before "you" are back! It's completely worth it! Best of luck and I'll look forward to seeing your results!

2 and 6 days post op!
The tummy tuck is more painful than I imagined, especially since I had a c-section with my child. As you can see, I can't stand up straight in the first two pics!

Congrats, looking great. What size and implant type did you go with? Thanks!
October 25, 2015
Thank you! I just had a BL, no implants. He did such an awesome job my breasts have plenty of fullness on the top. My cleavage is back without needing a push up bra! I was pleasantly surprised :-)
October 25, 2015
wow! they look wonderful, I was thinking you definitely had implants bc of the fullness - luck girl!
