350cc, silicone, round, high profile, lipo to flank, back and fat transfer to hips and butt

To start off, I am a petite 5'2" 107 lb female who pushed out 5 babies naturally. My body was in pretty good shape until the last one who weighed 10 lbs 5 oz. They were all worth it but I felt like I'm still young and would like to feel good in my own skin again. So I started researching this whole Mommy Makeover thing and went to a couple of double board certified doctors to see what they would do.I thought that my stomach just needed some lipo, but once they saw me they informed me that I actually had a lot of loose skin and that was something just lipo wouldn't fix. As I was finishing up my consultation with the first doctor, I mentioned that I felt like I had some back fat that I would like looked at and he said "you don't, so I'm not even going to look."That bothered me that he wouldn't even look at something that I considered a possible concern, and I felt good about checking out a second doctor (which I was going to do either way). Then I went to the second doctor... and the one I ended up choosing, and from the first minute I felt comfortable and heard.The doctor I went with us very into "body contouring" and always does flank lipo with a tummy tuck so that he can give you some curves back (after 5 kids I was left with hardly any curves). I also mentioned my back fat to him and he didn't brush me off and acknowledged that I did have some and that yes, it would be a good thing to get rid of it or it would be even more noticeable after fixing the front of me so nicely.So back in November 2020, I put down a down payment and scheduled my surgery for March 22, 2021. Scary!! Between November and March I decided to also add on fat transfer to hips and butt. I always had a cute round butt, but because of the babies it was still ok, but had lost so much volume. I just wanted to bring it back to the way it was... I wasn't looking to have a huge butt or anything.I also was sick of having no curves and having a hard time looking good in clothes... That's why I wanted the fat transfer to my hips. I want curves again! So March 22 rolled around and I had convinced myself that I was going to die in surgery (and while I'm not even remotely scared of dying.I know where I'm going when I do, I am scared if leaving 5 small children without a mommy), and I was super nervous, but also excited to get my body back. I was worried about the size of breasts I was getting because I'm a petite person and am not looking to have huge ones, but I decided to let my doctor decide. He is very conservative and I'm always impressed when I see the people he has worked on.So I didn't feel like he was going to go crazy on me or anything. The surgery center was great and everyone made me feel at ease. Before I knew I was being put to sleep and I woke up very out of it and not feeling great. Getting me to pee after surgery was difficult but thankfully I peed in time! I didn't want to have to leave with a catheter. Yikes! My boobs and butt are bigger than I expected, but they are swollen still and haven't dropped or fluffed.My doctor is fantastic and so is his team. The only reason I say "I'm not sure" that this is worth it... Is because Im only six days out, and I feel dreadful still. The narcotic drugs make me feel weird and out of it, but without them the pain is awful. Hopefully within the next week or so I'll start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and can say if it was worth it or not.Right now I am just an uncomfortable, wrapped up, in pain, stitched up girl that wants to feel good again. I know he did a great job, I just can't say if it was worth it until I feel better. I'll definitely give updates.

Sorry that I never posted pictures but having 5 small kids and recovering at the same time is no easy feat! I'm posting pictures of me before naked (gross), a picture of me and my husband (clothed), some of me 3 days after surgery and a couple of me from 2 weeks post op. I will take more pictures of myself soon since it's been 4 weeks today. I have come a LONG way. Right now the worst part is the sensitivity/soreness from the lipo. I had no idea that would be the worst part of the whole thing! Also, my boobs are SO sensitive... My doctor says it is from the muscles stretching. Everything is getting better each day, and I can now fully say I'm thrilled I did this for myself... But there are definitely ups and downs with emotions!! I have been a little worried I went to big with the boobs because honestly, I'm a very conservative person and am not into showing off my body for people. I did this mostly to feel good about myself again after having 5 kids, but also to look good again naked with my husband. It was more for my own mental state than anything. I added fat back to my butt because my butt used to be one of my best physical features and with all the babies it lost its volume. I basically did this to bring my old body back... And I'm so happy with it! I'm so embarrassed by these pictures, but I know you all are kind and that it is helpful for those researching.

I keep trying to upload all the pictures but they all say they are too large, even though they are under the required 6MB. Anyone else have this issue? I'm very frustrated. They are all 3MB or less! Ugh! Not sure what to do.
