Hi all! I'm 31 years old, 5'3", 125 lbs, and probably a size 34B even though VS says I'm a 34C. Lol! I'm looking to get rid of my excess belly skin and make my boobs fuller, after breastfeeding I've got what I call "tit sacks". They're just a sad excuse for breasts. I'm looking to be fuller and more natural of a shape. I also have diastasis recti and an umbilical hernia.
I've looked forward to a mommy makeover for 10 years. I'm stoked to be able to be in the stage of interviewing doctors. Yesterday was the first day I've ever had a consultation with a PS. It was very informative. The Dr. I saw did a great job describing the procedure and what he would do. My favorite part was trying the implants on. This doctor suggested using gummy bear implants, which I've head my eyes in for some time now. I've gotten a good idea of what size I want to be.
Then the tummy tuck, he said that he could pretty much ensure that he would be able to get rid of the stretch marks below my belly button, but that the ones above my belly button would still be there. Hell, I knew that. Wouldn't I look strange if I had stretch marks on my legs and butt and boobs??? Lol I really thought that was the funniest thing. I earned those marks, I'll keep some of them lol
I can't wait to see the next doctor and then I'll be able to compare.

I'm the same size as you and getting the same procedures next summer. Have you looked at other women our size with implants? I think the 200 cc range looks great, so I'm thinking 250 for myself. Anything over 300 will get you the "very big" look, which may be what you want. Keep in mind after the tummy tuck you won't have that little belly, so the boobs will look much bigger. What sort of goal pictures do you have in mind?

By "our size" I meant about 5'3", 125 pounds. :)

I've looked at women, but most don't have such flat, deflated boobs. I felt like when I looked down, I could see what I saw when I breastfed the last time. I liked the look, it didn't feel like they were "too big", I tried on the 300s and felt the were too small. Have you gone and met with a PS?
September 19, 2015
Yep, I've met with two. I tried on the 250 implants and liked those. I also had really big boobs before I had kids (where did they go?!), so I know how fun they can be! Here's a profile with somebody who had 371cc and she's getting them replaced with 234 or something like that. I'm really interested to see how she likes them.

Most people want their boobs to be bigger, even after BA, so I'm not trying to talk you out of it! :) I'm sure you'll love whatever you get.

Excited!!!!

Momma'sGotItBack
Super excited for my next consultation! Next week I go and see the dr I've been waiting to see. With my job, and kids, it's hard to take off work to get to go! Thankful for some vacation time! I'm excited because it's just another step closer to making that decision on choosing a doctor and getting my mommy makeover scheduled. Anyone have any recommendations on PS in the Kansas City, MO they want to suggest?
Have a Merry Christmas!
