I first discovered Real Self in 2015 when I was interested in researching breast augmentations. I spent a few months researching, but then stopped when I realized that there was no way I could even pay for it. Now that I have the money I’ve decided to go even further and get a mommy makeover. I’m excited (and nervous) to finally make this dream come true! I’ve had my pre-op so far. (I’ll share about my experience in the next post). I’ve scheduled my procedure for January 8, 2018.

Consultation with Dr. Schlesinger
ruby67December 29, 2017
Back in 2015 when I first began my research I had originally thought about doing a breast augmentation. I breastfed my child only for a few weeks, but with my second child I breastfed for about a year. A couple months ago, I decided I might as well get a mommy makeover. I’ve been very unhappy with my muffin top. I wear loose shirts because it hides everything. I used to wear more fitted tops and tanks tops, but seeing my rolls and armpits made me depressed. Clothes shopping was never fun for me anymore. I didn’t want to just get a breast augmentation and regret later for not getting a tummy tuck. I told my boyfriend what I wanted and I am so thankful that he is supportive of this.
I found my top 3 surgeons in my area during my research and reading reviews, but Dr. Schlesinger of Mommy Makeover Institute of Hawaii stuck out the most to me. He has YEARS of experience and just struck out to me as very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. I saw that he had a promotion for a small discount for mentioning Real Self. I took that as a sign now was the time for me to do this and I sent a request to schedule for consultation.
My best friend came to the consultation with me. I was a little nervous not knowing what to expect. Dr. Schlesinger was so nice and funny! I felt very comfortable with him. I could tell that over the years he’s always improving himself to be better.
He told me I have tuberous breasts and gave me some printed information about the deformity. I’m a 32 B with uneven breasts. I hate wearing bras because my right breast is smaller than my left and there is always a gap in my right cup. We agreed on Allergan, silicone cohesive, smooth, round, 485-520 cc’s, below the muscle.
He made me lay down and raise my legs and showed me where my abdominal muscles had separated. He assured me that he can make my tummy nice and flat with a new belly button... and also pull up my clit in a more desireable place. Ok, cool lol.
The patient coordinator gave me my estimate for a mommy makeover and I’m not gonna lie, I was shocked! I didn’t know it was going to cost THAT much. I was worried about what my boyfriend was going to say when I told him the cost. I wanted to do it anyway. I wanted to do it for myself. To feel better about myself and boost my self confidence.
My best friend asked me if I planned on seeing other surgeons for consultations. I told her no, that Dr. Schlesinger was my man lol. Later that night my boyfriend asked me how the consultation went. I ignored his question and told him that we should just have a big wedding lol. I knew that he was against having a large wedding for us because he thinks it would be a waste of money. I was just trying to use it as a tactic to hopefully decrease his shock when I told him the estimate. Surprisingly he wasn’t that shocked. He was actually more shocked over the $280 in traffic violation tickets I got. Go figure lol.
I’ll post up some before pics in the next post.

Before pics
ruby67December 31, 2017
Here are some before pics. I am 5’ 1” weighing at 121 pounds. I am 36 years old with 2 kids.
My procedure will consist of abdominoplasty, lipo to my mid back, hips, outer and inner thighs, and breast augmentation with periareolar release.
Next week Monday is the day! I’m getting excited and nervous at the same time. I hadn’t brought any wish pics to my consultation. I told my doc that I would trust the size he chooses for me based on my body. Just to recap, we’ll be doing Allergan silicone cohesive round implants below the muscle, 485-520cc’s which will bring my sad, uneven B boobies to a D. I wish he could go through my armpit, but he needs to perform a periareolar release to correct my tuberous breasts. Does anyone else have tuberous breasts and has or will go through the same thing? How was the recovery?
