Mini Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation

I am 5'7 & 135lbs. I enjoyed my small 34b breasts when they were "anti-gravity" & I pulled off long, sleek elfy really well but I did always think larger chested women were pretty. Then I had my child in my late twenties & gained a bunch of weight during my pregnancy. Afterwards I worked out like crazy & ate really well but could not flatten out the loose skin on my abdomen & my breasts were droopy & not proportional anymore.
I'd carefully considered getting surgery for over 10 years because I was afraid of dying on the operating table & I thought it was selfish to spend so much money on my vanity. Eventually, I was in a position where financially it was possible & my partner was able to take care of me for little while while I healed. So I seized the moment & my Dr. used 300cc Moderate Mentor implants. They definitely balance my top & bottom halves & now I can wear just about anything without fiercely padded bras!I didn't want to be huge but I wanted them full again & since I was getting surgery I wanted them to be at least a cup size larger.I am a little intimidated that I'll have to get surgery again one day (since they apparently don't last more than 10 years) & by then I'll be close to 50 years old.I was genuinely thrilled that my doctor gathered from the few words we spoke to each other the exact size I would've wanted but I was fairly afraid going in because there was no "rice test" or photo simulation or anything. & he was gone before I even woke up so I've never seen him again. They told me I'd be able to work in three days- there was no way that was possible. I had to get someone to cover me at work that week (likely due to this next part though). They accidentally squeezed me into a far too small surgical body suit which hurt a lot & pulled on my stitches so much that I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin to escape it. When I finally text the nurse about it (3 days in) she said they were out of the correct size for me & had "hoped" that it would stretch enough. It left pinch cuts along my sides for over two weeks after I took it off. This all happened shortly before life started getting crazy with the virus though so I'm not bitter & would see this business again once this is all over. I'm amazed at how well/fast my body has healed. Those first 4 days were horrible but after I stopped taking the pain killers I began to feel like I was getting better instead of that I'd never feel like myself again. Because I'm such a fan of things symmetrical it bothers me a little that my belly line seems so off & my left breast continues to be a bit lumpy on the outer side but I still hold out hope it'll improve. I have taken these 3 photos throughout my progress in healing. This batch are: left ones are pre-surgery & the right ones are right at 2 months post surgery.Overall, I wish I'd done this years ago. It's done great things for how fast I can get ready in the morning & for my self confidence. 100% recommend for ladies who are tired of feeling physically damaged or vulnerable whenever they get undressed. Now I just can't wait for the Covid-19 to go away so I can enjoy actually being measured/ fitted for fancy, lacy, sheer, strappy, etc. padding-less bras! But based on my tape measure I believe I've settled into a full C.

Thank you! They feel fairly normal now but I'll probably keep taking skin care vitamin supplements & wearing my silicon scar strips for a few more months to help fade the light purple lines as much as possible.
