$11,000
I'm 5'0 and have a very small torso. Both my babies were 9lbs and my belly repulses me. I'm so embarrassed by my belly area where I can't look in the mirror. I am hoping to get a mommy makeover (tummy tuck and breast implants) in June or July of this year. I'm looking for a doctor in my price range in the Huntsville, Alabama area. If anyone can help me, that would be amazing.
Also, has anyone had saline implants? Thoughts?

I found a doctor. Dr. Tara Margarella at Blue Cosmetic Surgery. We paid our down payment and my surgery is scheduled for July 8th. I'm so excited and so nervous. I have so much anxiety. I still can't believe that I can have a "normal" body. It doesn't feel like it's real so hopefully when it gets closer to the time it'll feel real and I'll be more happy than nervous.
I have 2 kids, one 5 and one 10months old. I'm going to feel heartbroken when my parents take them for two weeks but I NEED to do this. It hurts to wear jeans, it hurts to sit in a chair for too long and it hurts mine and my sweet husbands love life :-X I feel like, how could he want to even look at my when I barely can. He is so sweet and says he loves me how I am, but I wanna... "feel hot" again!
Again, I'm 5'0 and weight about 127 lbs. I NEED to lose 15 lbs before the surgery.

Hi there! I think your price is definitely do-able. I paid $13,500 and I'm in CO (our prices are higher). Have you had a consult yet? For me I really didn't like the feeling of a saline implant. I have a friend whom after 10 yrs of having saline they ruptured and she replaced hers with silicone. And she loves them, she says that the silicone feel so much more lighter and real than saline...that's probably because of the water weight. BUT definitely go with your gut about this and inform yourself as much as you can. Visit justbreastimplants. It's a website that can give you a lot of info. Good luck to you!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice. I'm def gonna go with silicone for that same reason you say. I don't want to have to re-do them so soon. Thanks again!

Have you heard of Lipoabdominoplasty? Its great when you still have pounds to loose. Try reading about it. Its the newest thing. Supposedly better than a tummy tuck alone. I'm getting it done on April 1st. I'm 5'3 and 130 lbs.

Hmmm, I'll have to look into that because I'm worried that a TT wont fix my stomach because I'm so short. Thanks hon!

It nice also because its a smaller scar and quicker recovery with a better outcome than TT alone. It rather new in the states so you have to look for a Dr. that does it. It didnt take me long to find one and the price was the same. If you're going to go through all that and you've waited this long I would check around. As for implants, I have saline (they've never bothered me.) I got them 11 years ago but am having them replaced. I started with 475 CC and am getting 550 next time. But it also depends on bone structure and current breast tissue. Good luck!

Can someone explain to me the sizes of breast implant? Sorry, I'm so confused haha. I was so excited about having a normal tummy in my consultation with my doctor that I wasn't paying enough attention to the breast implant part. I think she said I could go to 300? I have no clue what that means. I'm a small (floppy) A. Im so short, 5 foot, is a C too big for me?

Its different for everyone and really depends on how big you'd like to be. 300 is rather small in my opinion. I have a friend who's petite and she did either 375 or 400 and its perfect. Just be clear to your Dr. What you want to look like after.

Hi, I am 5'2 and 109#s. I got 400cc silicone, mod plus profile, unders. I wear a 32dd or 34c (but don't go off that). I look w/ clothes on like a C, but naked like a D. Did you try on the sizers? They take measurements and based on that they tell you how big you can go, now its up to you to determine what size you want., how you want to look. Choosing the right implant is up to you, not your PS. It sounds like you should go back and see.her. Again visit justbreastimplants...I found this to be a great resource.
Hi there and thanks for starting your story on RealSelf.
The only board certified doctor in Huntsville that we have listed on RealSelf as doing a Mommy Makeover is here. That doesn't mean you can't call other surgeons and ask, though. Are you willing to travel a few hours? You might also call around in Birmingham?
Good luck and please keep us posted on how your consultations go!
