I am a 32 year old mother of two boys, whom I breastfed for a combined 21 months. I gained a lot of weight with my pregnancy, and even more so, my breasts got enormous during breastfeeding (34J!). I lost all of my pregnancy weight + 20 extra pounds and I've had a mini tummy tuck (no lipo) to correct the extra skin below my belly button. Two and a half years later I'm ready to work on the girls! I'm a size 4 now and wear a 32D/DD mostly because the skin takes up so much room! I had a few consults and ultimately chose the surgeon who did my mini tummy tuck. I decided to go for a lift without implants at this time. I am really hoping I'll be happy with just the lift, but my surgeon assured me I can always get implants later. I'm looking for more fullness and perkiness, but not that overly-full, fake look that seems to happen so often when implants are placed. My surgery is in two and a half weeks and I'm so excited!!

That's great that you're happy with your results! Also good to know that you didn't get too small - it's something I've been a bit worried about.

Just wondering, who's the doctor you'll be doing the surgery with?

I am so excited to see your after pictures. Reading your post it was as if I could have written it myself, so similar. Good luck!

pre-op
17 days to go - had my pre-op today. Nothing terribly interesting to report. Am really looking forward to the results! I exercise pretty intensely on a regular basis, so hopefully I won't have to be on the sidelines for too long afterward.

Day of treatment
Just got home
I just got home a bit ago. I am sore, but not unbearably so yet. Mostly just dizzy and really tired from the anesthesia & meds. The nurses at Dr. Bartell's office are AMAZING!! I suffer from debilitating anxiety & panic disorder, and they were so understanding and truly helpful. They took the anxiety seriously and didn't just brush it aside. Not looking forward to the no-showering until first post-op rule - gross. Will be covered in the ace wrap until Tuesday the 22nd at post-op. I will definitely update with pics when I can!
