Breast Lift with auto-augmentation and 360 Lipo

This has been a long long road! I scheduled a full MMO several years ago and I had to cancel and it's been a long road to get ready again. I'm FINALLY here. I'm actually glad I waited as there are some new options that weren't available or well known originally. I have 4 children ages 6-15 and I am just so ready for everything to sit in it's proper location. I'd love to say I'm super active and in shape but that's not true. ;) I do exercise and eat fairly clean but I could definitely try harder. When I originally set out on this journey my plan was for a full TT, breast aug with implants and lipo on my hips and flanks. After my current consult I will be starting out with 360 lipo on my torso(perhaps adding my arms....not sure about that quite yet)and a breast lift with auto-augmentation. I've gone back and forth with the implant decision for a long time and I just couldn't decide. I don't want to be any larger, I wouldn't mind being a bit smaller really, so the thought of an implant had me worried I would hate the outcome. My PS informed me that she now does auto-augmentation and can use my tissue from my very full lower pole to help fill out and reshape my breast for a smaller very natural looking breast. She believes I will be very happy with this method because of what I told her I was looking for. I am so excited about this and can't wait for surgery day! Not gonna lie though, I'm kinda nervous about recovery, but for now excitement wins! :) When I get up the nerve I'll post before photos.

I tried to start this once before but it never showed up. So, sorry if this is duplicated somewhere.

I had a consultation a few years ago for a complete Mommy Makeover with Dr. Alderman and I fell in love with her! She TRULY listened to what I wanted and didn't try to convince me that I wanted bigger breast. She was my 4th consultation and the ONLY doctor that didn't do that. Due to some unfortunate circumstances I was unable to proceed at that time. Naturally, when the time came again to go down this road, Dr. Alderman was my only call. I went in with the thought a full MMO was what I wanted but I was also open minded to anything she thought might be better options. I've carried and breastfed 4 babies so my body is in need of some TLC for sure.  

After discussing my desires and doing an exam, Dr. Alderman suggested a breast lift with auto-augmentation and complete 360 Lipo on my torso. She didn't feel my skin was quite loose enough for a TT. Not even gonna lie, I was NOT mad at not having a TT!! I mean, I'm excited to get my body back, I just wasn't thrilled with the whole recovery process. I am also happy that she will be using my breast tissue to fill out my breast rather than implants. I haven't seen any reviews on auto-aug on RS so I will definitely be sure to share as I go. 

I'm much too chicken to post pictures but I will work on getting up the nerve before my surgery.  

In preparation for my surgery I'm cleaning up my diet and working out. I figure the healthier I go in, the easier it will be on my body to heal.  

I would love feedback from anyone that's had these same procedures. Tips, tricks, things I should be aware of, etc.
