I have been a passive participant on this forum for the past 1-2 years. I have just scheduled consultations to continue my journey. I am certain I will pursue breast augmentation, but much less certain about additional help in my abdominal area. I hope the consultations will help me decide.
Some personal stats: Age: 30Height: 5'6"Weight: 125lbCurrent cup size: not sure, maybe A?Fitness Level: could be betterEthnicity: AsianKids: 3 (ages 5 and under) Breastfed: 4 yearsI've always been small chested, B or under, and was interested in augmentation. After nursing 3 kids for a total of 4 years, I can't stand my boobs and feel the sacrifice is ready to be paid in new boobs. Having 3 kids has left my abdomen less than desirable as well. I believe I could resign myself to a more aggressive diet/workout regimen to get better tone, but the stretch marks and what I believe is loose skin in the lower region is gross. I've told myself I'll never wear a swimsuit. I'm very averse to the TT scar and am concerned that I won't find the tradeoff acceptable. The additional downtime has me concerned as well. Lastly, looking at TT reviews has slightly frwaked me out. I'm really excited for the changes to come and my husband is so supportive already.
Here are some wish Pics for the BA. I hope to find out how attainable these options are for my body type during consultation.
I've looked at so many pictures of boobs! I like a little bit of side boob action which I think all of these pics have. My frame is somewhat slender, but I have wide hips I'm hoping to balance out.

Lower abdomen pics
bcn8erOctober 3, 2016
Here are some before pics of my abdomen with stretch marks, some loose skin, and fat. Not sure what I should do to improve this area. Maybe a mini TT could help, but I don't think I could deal with a full TT scar. Anyone else with similar before that had some type of treatment? What worked?

From what I have heard/researched, most women are unhappy with mini tt ( anyone jump in and correct me if I am wrong). The skin will be pulled down, and your belly button with it. It doesn't look to me like you have much skin for a tummy tuck but it can be hard to tell in pics. my opinion, because you asked, is that you should skip the tt and go for the augmentation. The scar you would get may not be worth the trade off, as you don't seem to have very much excess skin. With that being said, do what makes you happy! We all want to feel comfortable in our own skin... or boobs... or whatever :)

Thanks for your comment! I think you're right. The TT scar isn't something I'll accept easily. Maybe the augmentation will help balance out my figure enought :)

Your tummy looks great to me and stretch marks hardly visible. I would just go for the boob job. I was always so paranoid about my thighs but since having my boobies done 6 weeks ago I don't even notice them as I'm too busy admiring my new girls and have so much more confidence :-). In fact I'm 38 and am wearing skinny jeans for the first time in my life lol x

This is true! I am afraid that when I get my TT, my thighs will look huge. Meh.

first off you look amazinggggg to have had 3 kids. i dont think you should get a TT at all. I think your abdomen looks great. If it really bothers you I would see if your surgeons offer coolscultping because it doesn't look like hanging skin maybe just a very small area of stubborn fat which I heard was great for this. Breast augmentation might also help take so much focus on this area.

Thank you, you're words are kind! I will definitely ask the PS this week during my consult what other types of procedures would help me achieve a better contour and are less invasive. It's those damn stretch marks!!! They may be light, but the texture is just eww to me. Oh well, maybe I'll have to be happy with a higher waisted suit :)

You and I have very similar body shapes, including the chest! I am also Asian with 3 kids, although mine are a lot older than yours. ( my youngest is 5) I did not nurse any of mine so was flat chested, but they were not stretched out or misshapen. I recently had BA done in August and have 450cc round saline implants. Aside from the fact that I have Some symmastia now, they would be perfect. I plan to wait until they are a year old to assess, before possible repair. They aren't horrible now and I could live with them as is, versus taking the chance of bad scarring. I just don't have much of a cleavage line, although with the right bra they look pretty good. I see you are from Minneapolis, which is close to where I live. I too, researched a lot and went to several consults. Take your time and be sure!

Impatient...call as soon as you think you might be interested

I called for a consultation with Dr. Tholen and found out they are booked out until March 2017 for a consult! I scheduled one and will have to try to manage my impatience since I really have felt good about everything I've read on him.
I also scheduled an appointment with Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz for October 13th, 2016. I feel really excited about this too!!! His office said we may be able to schedule surgery 2 weeks after the consult...that would be so awesome!
