I am 31, 5 foot 7, 157lbs. I knew I wanted to have this done even before my 1st child. I now have a almost 4yo and a 17 month. I have always had a doughnut for a tummy and my boobs have been huge since I can remember. I will be having a TT, BL, and small BA for upper pole fullness. I am a 38D now but with breastfeeding my boobs were a 42F and stretched out bad. I just want to be about the same size as now in my breasts. With my first pregnancy I gained 65 lbs and my second 25 lbs. My son ruined my skin and I have tons of stretch marks. I am physically fit and do P90x3, run, play volleyball and other activities but just cant get this middle to look good so going under the knife!

Anyways I had my consultation on the 2nd of January and set up surgery in April. My husband has all of July off work so thats why I am doing in the summer plus its easier for him to get kids out of the house! Pre-op is June 19th I'm excited and nervous!

2 weeks before pre-op appt

Went to my pre-op appt and everything went well but they didnt think my implant choice was big enough to even do me justice so they had me try sizers again. The nurse that helped me was very helpful this time and seems to know her stuff better. I just dont want to be overly huge breasted! I went and got a electric lift recliner and my hubby set it up in our bedroom last night. I am now starting to get anxiety about the whole thing. I have a 4 y.o. and 18 month old and they climb on me all the time so I'm starting to worry about that and just being able to cuddle them. I am a stay at home mom so they are always all over me. I hope I recover good and fast! I am also worried about going under because I have only been out once for wisdom teeth. I just keep telling myself lots of unhealthy people do it and they are fine!

3 days post op

Today is 3 days post op and I am feeling pretty good. I was so happy for the pain pump because i hardly had any pain except from BL but mostly Augmentation. I right now am regretting getting an implant because it hurts badly and they look huge which i did not want. I did throw up and was nauseated coming out of anesthesia and so so sleepy from pain meds but will take that over pain. I'm getting around ok but bent at back hurts after a while. My tummy is so flat and incision is low but long only have one spot that is a little puckered that he says will flatten out just fine. I will try to get pics soon.

Dr. Eckhardt was very good at putting me at ease and answered all of my questions. I was referred to him by a few other people because he is a perfectionist and I could tell by talking with him and seeing pictures of his work. All of his staff were great too!
