Hi! I am a 37 year old Mom to 3 children ages 8,6,3.5. All of them were born via c-section. My first c-section was lower than the following 2, resulting in 2 separate scars. My scar area looked normal prior to having my last baby. I developed some seriously ugly scar tissue and the dreaded “shelf” ????. After my second pregnancy I had my gallbladder out and upon examination they told me I had an umbilical hernia... so while they were in there they repaired it. Wellll fast forward to 8 weeks pregnant with number 3 and the mesh holding the hernia didn’t stay put resulting in an even larger umbilical hernia ????. Before kids... like back when I was 19 I had my breasts done. The surgeon SUCKED!! I had 3 surgeries total with him to try and correct his mistakes but ended up giving up on it. Years later of dissatisfaction and breastfeeding has made them even less perky and more uneven so I’m switching my saline out for silicone and praying my surgeon can correct the asymmetry!! As for the tummy tuck... it’s something I’ve gone back and forth with forever! I don’t want the huge scar but I also hate my stomach! I workout 7 days a week and nothing can fix it ????. I am deathly afraid of the Surgery and can’t stop thinking I’m going to die! I’m so scared doing this with little kids that need me... but I also really want to rock a bikini this summer!! ????????. Please help me through this journey!!

Motivation is to have a flat stomach...

Motivation is to have a flat stomach and feel confident! I’ve never even shown off my breasts in clothes due the asymmetry. I can think of so many positives once the Surgery is complete... but right now I’m petrified of dying on the table! Realistically, I’m hoping my recovery isn’t to bad considering I’m fit and have a high tolerance.

Hello! I’m having the mommy makeover surgery on the 12th. I’m getting a lift, implants and the full tummy tuck. I am 39 with three little girls ages 7,5 and 22 months. I’m turning the big 4-0 in May and what to go into my 40’s looking my best! I had rhinoplasty this past May and that was my first surgery, so that fear of surgery and anesthesia is less. But, it’s still scary. I’m just thinking positive thoughts and picturing a great outcome. I’m glad I found you. We can buddy up on this:)

I am 38 and 1 mo P.O. from mommy makeover including muscle repair. I was scared too. It’s tough when you think about your family. My experience was great though! I chose a reputable PS and felt well taken care of. I also quit coffee before surgery so I wouldn’t wake up with a headache or drink coffee and it make m nauseous combined with the Norco. I followed all PS’s advice pre and post op. I will say it’s quite a long healing process before you feel 100%. Just realizing that.

I’m Still swollen near my scar and old belly button vertical scar and more so at night but am wearing the binder 24/7. Here are some updated photos from this morning.
