Tummy Tuck Update...Weight Loss and Loose Skin.

WORTH IT$12,500
Hello ladies it's been 2 and halts months since my mommy makeover and I'm going to be very honest I look much better than before. My only regret is not losing the weight not being at my ideal weight prior to surgery. I was 173.6 going into surgery, I gained 8 pounds after surgery from eating and sleeping so that brought me to 180. I am now 170 and I look even better I have some areas where there is a bulge and fat pockets which is common after surger. Yesterday was my third visit and my PC said to wait till six months for final results because I am still swollen and I have lots of numbness in the lower abdominal area. If anything I can have some Liposuction in and September. I'm still not done losing weight, my goal is 160 so I am afraid of what my my stomach and breast is going to look like. I definitely think I'm going to need a revision to make my breast tighter and to pull some skin down because I'm already seeing loose skin when I bend over and I can really see that I've lost some Volume in my breast. well I have because my breast was 38 inches and now it's like 37 and my waist was 36 and now it's 34 and still shrinking. But overall I'm happy.

I've read nothing but great reviews about Dr. Arnold S. Breitbart. When I finally met Dr. Arnold S. Breitbart, and his staff, I knew instantly that he would be the doctor of choice. I felt the positive energy , the vibration and went with my gut! He was very patient and answered all my questions. He sat me down in his office and thoroughly went over the procedures and how it will be performed. He showed me before and after pictures of his great work. His staff was very pleasant, soft spoken and helpful. It was an instant decision, my search was over and there is no turning back! 3 weeks post op and I am very happy with my breast lift and tummy tuck aka a mommy makeover. 99 % of my fears never took place because Dr. Breitbart did a spectacular job at transforming my postpartum body into something beautiful. I am so glad that I selected Dr. Arnold Breitbart, his work is truly amazing.

Week 3 Post Op

This is me at 3 weeks and feeling good. I'll feel great when the final drainage come out. The drainage irritates me and I am just tired of it. So far no complications to report. Aside from the swelling, tightness and bulging related to the TT, I feeling good at week 3
I'm so happy I took 3 weeks off From work. It really gave me time to get back on track and heal a little. I have a sitting job so not much activity isn't required, just mental work. I plan to organize a week worth of work attire to help me transition to work mode again and not having to put in to much energy looking for something to wear.

So I love my new breasts, my girls are perfect, I look good naked but now I need to lose a few pounds, about 15. My goal for this week, 5 pounds. So it's smoothie and salads for me.

I'll be back in a few days with some more pictures. For those who are scheduled for surgery I wish you guys all the best good luck and be patient.

Glad to hear your feeling so well! You look great too. I also still have one drain in, it's just annoying more then anything. I'm scheduled to have it out Wednesday though so I'm happy about that.
Happy healing!
Thank you. My last and final drain was removed today and I feel like a new person. I am so happy now and just allowing my body to heal internally and externally.
You look so fantastic! I am scheduled for a Tummy tuck with dr. Breitbart on Thursday. Do you have any more post op pics? I'd love to see your progress!!

Day 1 week post op

today is Tuesday, February 23 , 2016 and I am one week post op and feeling wonderful. Walking much faster and getting up from sitting and sleeping position with less discomfort, I am doing very well.

I saw my PS today and he removed one drainage and hopefully next week I can remove the second drainage. it actually felt good to remove one drainage. I'm more comfortable more relaxed now with one foreign object inside me. Still taking sponge bath because I don't want to tamper with the drainage even though my PS said I can shower.

I tried on a few tops and bottoms and loved the results so far. I haven't seen my belly button yet, I think that will be an emotional day for me. Well that's all for now RS farm but will keep you posted as the days and weeks go bye. Patience ladies, patience is a virtue.
