Where to start. I am 56 years old about to have a mommy makeover. I have raised 3 children successfully and I am about to do something for me. My children were all over 9 pounds, I have fluctuated in weight from 205 down to 160. I started working out again and watch what I eat. I had saline implants back in 1992 due to sagging breast. The previous PS said I could get fullness back by having implants. They were 500cc placed behind the muscle. Now, I have saggy boobs with a bump in the upper portion where the implant is. I guess it worked for a while but not anymore. I am opting for a lift with silicone implants, hoping to go smaller. In addition to a tummy tuck. I chose my PS because he indicated that he doesn't use drains and hasn't used them in many years. He is very comfortable with the quilting method.I will be doing an overnight in the local hospital due to my medical history. Quite honestly, I am scared sh-t but I am going for it.

Reality is sinking in. 4 more days to go. I have lived with this body for the last 27 years. I am cleaning the house because I know that I wont be able to for at least a couple of weeks. It goes against my nature to relax but the last thing I want to do is impede my recovery or screw up my healing process. Sleeping is difficult because no matter how much you talk yourself off the cliff, when you sleep - you don't. Then, of course there are those who wonder why at 56 would you place yourself under any undue risk. I guess it's time for the curlers and house dresses, not! Only 4 more days.

Wishing you best of luck and quick healing! I am 53 and scheduled for December 15th. I am trying to learn as much as I can during these next 4 months. No curlers and house coats for us! Will be watching for your updates! You got this.

Thanks for the well wishes. I saw 5 different surgeons before choosing the one I did. I felt very comfortable with him and was very happy to hear that he doesnt use drains in most cases. Tuesday is the day, ery excited. will post.

Officially one day post op. Surgery was done 8/1/17. OMG, very painful. I don't have any drains, yippi. However, I am still in terrible pain and hunched over. From what I can see, everything looks great. I have a flat smooth belly and perky smaller breasts. Can't really say that I got much sleep. I remained at hospital overnight. Another issue is the headache from lack of caffein. It was terrible. I am up walking around, hunched over and urinating so I guess that is good. Ill post pictures soon.
