March 2014

Too bad I can't make another review on Mommy Makeover and also change my plastic surgeon...

Anyway, following Dr. Rios' advice, I searched for doctors that are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). I picked Dr. Tripti Burt in Plainfield IL.

Consultation 11/25/2013 10:45am

I went for a free consultation today. Truly Dr. Rios is a very down to earth doctor! And he cares so much for his patients' smooth recovery etc. He said I need a lift but he doesn't practice that anymore due to so many complications involved in that procedure and it stresses him so much that he just stopped doing it. One thing he also mentioned is that I have a hernia and that insurance pays for such procedure and I could have it done together with my tummy tuck.

I was bummed out knowing he won't take me as his patient due to the breast lift I need which he no longer performs. BUT I greatly appreciate his honesty!!! He said that if I just go for a breast augmentation without the lift, yes, I'll be happy for few months but in the long run, it will haunt me and make me want to eventually get a lift due to the sagging. He has a great point! He's the plastic surgeon to go to! He genuinely cares! & Is not the type who only wants your money like others. If you want breast augmentation and tummy tuck, he is the ONE!

Despite of this sad truth, he referred someone to be... My quest in finding the right doctor is still ongoing!

Oh, and Dr. Rios said it would be great if I lose weight and get to my ideal size. Right now, I'm at 165 pounds... Ideal would be 140 lbs.

Before Motherhood

When I got married, I was size 4 with a 23 inch waistline, weighing 128 pounds! Motherhood takes a huge toll on our bodies. I had to go through fertility to have babies (luckily I didn't end up being an octomom!). When I delivered my first born, I was at 195 pounds! And with my 2nd born, I was at 205 pounds! And now, my youngest is 3 1/2 and I'm still struggling going down to 150 lbs at the least!
