Mommy Makeover Journey

Italiano1978
WORTH IT$21,500
I had a "Mommy Makeover" November 2021. At the time I was 43yrs old, 5'2 and weighed 135lbs. My Mommy Makeover included...
Breast implants ( 455 CC gummy bear implant ) with a lift [ a year later I'm a Full 34DDD ] tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo 360, lipo to my chin, arms and inner thighs.
When I say a Mommy Makeover Journey...I mean just that. I had
" Realistic Expectations " but that recovery was intense! You really do have to prepare yourself for a very long recovery. I was swollen for a whole year after my procedure. I had an open wound to one of my breasts that would not heal no matter what I did. I definitely learned to be patient and let my body heal itself. Everybody heals differently. Your results will depend on how your body reacts to this trauma. "My advice"
** Let someone help you!** just relax and let your body heal... You'll get better results if you take this advice.
I also prepared myself for this surgery. I bought a recliner, walker and used Bromelain and Arnica ( I feel 100% positive this helped me with my bruising).
To sum up my experience... I had an Amazing surgeon
* Dr. Potyondy who had the most respectful bedside manner and REALLY took care of me as if I was his only patient. Honestly, his whole team was so patient and expressed compassion and empathy throughout my whole experience. Shout out to Jamie and Teresa who made me feel so comfortable and allowed me to be vulnerable. His OR staff was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING as well!
"If you are considering a Mommy Makeover then this is your sign... the time is now;)". I had a few consultations but I knew
~Dr. P~was the best choice for me.
ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS.

Life is short, enjoy now

I couldn't upload a before picture in my original post. Here it is.
I'm currently 3 weeks post op with my revision. I had the scars on my Tummy Tuck incision and nipples
"cleaned up" and had my belly button revised.
So far loving what I see!
Still NO REGRETS!

Thanks for sharing! How does your second procedure compare to your first one?

My first procedure was intense. The revision wasn't as bad but still was very uncomfortable. I got another open wound on one of my breasts. Just confirming that everyone heals differently. The liposuction with the revision was alot more painful as well.
Overall, still no regrets:)
