I want a tummy tuck due to sagging skin and bulging in my tummy area. I've had 3 children and each time I gained about 58 lbs., including LOTS OF fluid/swelling. I have wanted a tummy tuck for a while, but now that I am truly done having children, it is time! I was considering a breast lift/augmentation too, but the scars turn me off and if I am going to spend that much money, I would want to be more than just a little happier with my breasts. Maybe later, though.

I am also having some back lipo and I'm supposed to have neck lipo, all for the $14,000. I may change my mind on th neck lipo, though.

The scarring on the breasts are not always that bad looking. I started with the breast reduction and will have the tummy tuck in the winter. I had my reduction and lift done 3 months ago and some of my scars are barely visible. Check out the pics I have posted. Good luck with your surgery. Time is going to fly and it will be here before you know it.

Welcome to the community! My scars on the breasts are hidden and faded so don't panic about that. I know you will love having the flat tummy.

I have canceled the neck lipo, after getting some more feedback from doctors (I posted photos and a question on RealSelf). I think I will wait a few years and have a mini facelift instead. I don't want to remove fat that might be supporting the skin on my face. I might get a result that is the opposite of what I was looking for!
One reason for my concern is that I recently had a small amount of botox in my forehead, and I wasn't happy with the result. Ihad been hoping to tame a wild "Jack Nicholson" eyebrow and maybe reduce the lines in my forehead by doing so. The eyebrow WAS tamed... at least the outer edge... but the middle of the eyebrow was not, giving me a bit of a strange arch. Also, I think it made me brows seem a bit droopy or heavy, which is aging. Luckily, it should be temporary. I never thought I would miss my crazy runaway eyebrow, but I do!
BTW, the doctor warned me about the effects. He mentioned that it might make my brow drop a little, which was one reason we went with a smaller amount to start with. He said botox is an art and curing one wrinkle may cause another wrinkle. He was right and I think I'll be foregoing botox in the future! This is what made me realize that messing with my face is very risky. Better to stick with what I have unless I'm trying to cure a major problem, in my opinion.

I also am interested in a TT. Have you met with Dr. Phan? I have heard some bad reviews about Dr. Yu.
