When I look at some of the scars from the Tummy tuck I get discouraged. I had a C-section in 2010 and you can barely notice my scar. Why can’t a Tummy tuck procedure follow the same pattern.Pelvic area, short length scar hidden right above the pubic area
Nice . What kind of diet you using to maintain your figure ? Thanks
Absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for sharing all these pics. I'm planning on doing the same prior and after my procedure in November this year (2022) excited and nervous.
Thank you again. You look amaze balls:)

Congratulations! You look great!! I go in for my mommy makeover surgery tomorrow morning!!!! I'm so glad reading your review confirmed my choice to not go with implants as well. Thank you for sharing!!
How exciting! Good luck with everything! I hope it goes great and your super happy with your results! Good for you for not getting implants! It's soooo much better and safer and more comfortable! And I honestly like the look better. Take care:)
Wow you look great! I absolutely love your new smaller boobs too, I've always just assumed if I were to get a mummy makeover I'd want implants but after seeing this and the fact I'm not a huge boob or foreign object lover, this would be the way to go! Where did you get surgery please ? X
Thank you! I went to Dr. Q in Rancho Mirage CA.
I have been struggling with the thought of implants or no implants. I have a date scheduled for December 21st and currently do not have implants scheduled. I am currently a C cup and I like being there, but did enjoy when they were just a touch bigger. I told her I didnt want to lose the volume, or end up smaller and she said I was a good candidate for an auto-augmentation, where they will not cut out the fat from the underside of my breast when doing the lift but using the fat at the bottom to push into a pocket on the upper pole of my breast which will also help give it that "implant" type fullness all around without losing volume. I have been wanting to lose a bit more weight but I know if I do, my boobs will in turn also get smaller and then I will end up with smaller post surgery breasts as well. I am 5'3 and currently 143lbs. I think I need to just accept my current weight, it is sustainable for me without any workouts other than just walking occasionally with my kids around the block. Your journey has definitely helped me trust that I made the right initial decision. I don't want an implant, I don't want the maintenance, I don't want the restrictions, and I don't want them to look or feel fake. I want them to be me. I'm not looking to change my look entirely and be more of anything, I just want to be back to someone I can look in the mirror and be happy seeing. Thankyou for being so detailed and sharing your story!
Ahhh!! I am in the desert and I also have 3 kids. I want EXACTLY what you got. The breast lift with implants, tummy tuck, lipo.... maybe even fat transfer to butt ;) But i don't qualify for any care credit! And a consult with Dr. Q is $150!! As a single mom I can't imagine giving up $150 and then not going to her. I need a place that will do in house loans. I want one soooop bad!!!!
You look lovely! What bra size were you pre , during and after removal its something ive been struggling with. thank you!
