45 Y/o 3 Kids, Weight Loss. Mommy Make Over.

I had always dreamt of doing this but being a mom, you always put yourself last. My heaviest weight was 198 lbs. Being 5'1" that's pretty big. Lost 50 pounds & went from a size xxl in tops & 18 in bottoms to a size small/medium in tops & 8 in bottoms , I had a lot of loose skin in my belly area. I never had much in the chest area so having some boobs would be a dream. Well after much deliberation with myself & my husband's support, I did it.
I've had 3 c-sections...this does not compare! I have a high pain tolerance but this is no joke. I feel like someone gave me the biggest beating of my life! I'm 5 day post op. I had breast lift/augmentation with a high profile gel implants of 450cc., a small amount of Lipo & an extended tummy tuck due to my large skirt. Each day is better. I just cant wait to feel my new normal.

I chose Dr. Patrick Basile. I met with four others but with him I just felt confident in his work. Everythibg went went smoothly. His office was very clear & consistent. Always answered my questions. They crossed every T and dotted every I. The surgery center was the same. I would recommend him to anyone. I have diabetes, high blood pressure & a small issue with my kidneys. He said a small amount of Lipo would be fine just so that I got a better outcome but not too much to jeapordize my health. I can tell you, other doctors really didn't take that into consideration.

My tummy tuck hasn't been much of an issue. My breast are the ones I'm feeling the most as they still haven't dropped but hopefully soon.
