Mommy makeover

So I just booked my mommy makeover with Dr Levine. Scheduled for Dec 5th and I am a mix of excited, scared and optimistic. I chose Dr Levine because he listened, answered all my questions and I liked his suggestions. Going with a TT, breast lift with small implants and lipo. I will post some before pics and will definitely post throughout my journey.

So I am just under 2 weeks out until my TT and breast lift with implants. I paid for the surgery yesterday and did the blood work on Tuesday. My big day is Dec 5,2017.

Going in at 5’6” about 184lbs. I wear a size 10 usually.

I am getting nervous but am very excited. Anyone have any tips or must do’s before the big day?

I feel confident in Dr Levine’s hands:)

So I am 5 days post op here is how my recovery and experiences have been.

Day of surgery- dec 5th
I was nervous and arrived at the 360 clinic in Toronto at 8:30am. Was met by amazing staff, nurses and Dr Levine. All worked hard to put me at ease. Dr Levine marked me up and I went in for surgery. Everything went well and I was very impressed with the facilities. After the surgery I was very groggy but the nurses were amazing and put a heating blanket on me and helped me in recovery. I left to go home around 6pm. Slept most of the 2hr drive home but was comfortable and got home and went to bed. I made sure to take the pain meds every 4 hrs as prescribed and my hubby helped me with emptying drains and getting in and out of bed.

Post op day 1- Wednesday
Most of Wednesday was me just sleeping on and off in bed. I kept taking my meds every 4 hrs and emptying drains . Pain was totally manageable. Christy from dr Levine’s office called to make sure I was ok.

Post op day 2-Thursday
Similar to Wednesday. Started to decrease on the pain meds.

Friday/Saturday
This is where I really started to turn the corner. Stopped all pain meds besides Tylenol. Swelling started to go down. I didn’t need a nap :) really started to feel like myself again.

Overall-
Pain - less then I was expecting
BM- definitely take the stool softeners asap
Swelling- temporary and started to reduce quickly
Dr Levine- amazing, caring
Christy- not enough good things to say about her
Clinic 360- very impressive and respectful and professional staff
Drains- pain in the butt but not as bad as I thought they would be (didn’t faint emptying them)

I have my post op tomorrow and will see for the first time what I look like under the bandages. My fingers r crossed that everything looks as good as I hope they do.
