My whole life I always had a flat stomach and nice breasts. Then came child birth. After the birth of my first child my body was different but not bad. Then I got pregnant with twins and well that was the end of "not bad". I didn't recognize my body anymore and my confidence was affected more than ever. I didn't even want my husband to see me. It was not a good feeling so, I started my research and my consult visits. Each one I didn't get very much information until I met Dr. Robert Kearney. He spent over an hour with me going over things I didn't even know I needed to know. I was really impressed with the examples he went over with me regarding the silicone verses saline. He explained that I had enough breast tissue that I could go either way. He also checked my abdominal muscles to see how much space was between them. No other surgeon I spoke to did either. He then explained that I really needed to strengthen those muscles so when they were sewn together they wouldn't tear. I remember leaving that appointment surprised with all the information I received. I was really impressed and made my surgery appointment the next day. Now I am 5 weeks post OP and I could not be happier. I was nervous about the breast implants the most because I didn't know would turn out. I never thought I would ever need implants. I always had nice, large breasts until after having kids. I was worried I may not like them, people would notice, how they would feel and how big or little they would be. Well, I went with saline implants 330 cc each side and I absolutely LOVE them. They look and feel amazing! They look so natural. When I tell people they are really surprised. I love the size too! I couldn't be happier. My tummy and my belly button (which is a clear giveaway of a tummy tuck) look great already even with the the slight swelling. I am amazed at how flat my stomach looks. I know it is just going to get better. Dr. Robert Kearney is amazing and a true artist. I am so grateful for what he has done for me. I also want to mention his nurse Dior is really sweet and takes good care of you before and after surgery. You will be very happy if you choose Dr. Robert Kearney.

I saw your question about your waist being 2" larger when you were 5 weeks out. How is your waist now??
I have a consultation with him on the 15th! He did my hairdressers BA. He did a great job on you! I really like the TT.
Thank You! He really did a great job and I love the way my belly button turned out. Most of the tummy tucks you see have these super tiny belly buttons. Good luck! What are you seeing him for?
Mommy makeover! I'm not getting it until May though...right after I graduate And my 21 month old will be easier by that time. :)
Awesome! The only thing I can really say is I would go a little bigger on the breast implants than you decide on. Once they settle into the pockets under the muscle they are not as big as when you put them in your bra for the size test.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm 5'1 so I am scared to go any bigger than a full C. I will mention that to him. Did you get a lift with the implant?
u look great

feeling bloated

I Am 9 Weeks And I Am Feeling So Bloated Especially On My Lower Sides. I Am Not Sure If Is Is Swelling Or Just Extra Fat That I Didn't Notice That Much Before. Anyone Else Have Side Swelling (Love Handle Area)? And I Am Tired Of WearinG ComPression Garment..My Ps Said To Wear IT For 12 Weeks. Excuse Random Capitals..Phone Is Doing It On Its Own.

I have swelling in flanks but it's from lipo so I am not sure that helps any. Lol. I want to wear my cg longer but everyone said it atrophies the muscles and the longer you wear the worst off you are since you are not using them. Does that make sense? It seems like most are trying to wean off it in the July forum. Everyone has a different take on the matter so I get really confused. I was told six weeks at my ps office but I just finally ditched the CG 3 days ago.

YOUR BOOS LOOK GREAT... YOU ARE MY PICT WISH
You look great, love the boobs! Did you know beforehand that you would have the vertical scar?
I Had A Belly Button RingHole That I Wanted Cut Out So That's Why I Have The Vertical Scar. It Was Stretched Out And Ugly. I Don't Mind The Small Scar...Much Better Than The Extra Skin.
My ps said I may need one as well if my skin doesn't stretch far enuf, he also said that small vertical scar is better than a higher tt scar
