Booked for Surgery in November-- Will Keep Updating! 33 Years Old, 5'8", 155 lbs

I am currently booked for surgery in November for a breast augmentation/lift(with Ideal implants) and a tummy tuck with Dr. Dembny.

I am a 5'8", 155 lb mother of two. My second child ended up being delivered via emergency c-section, so I have a scar from that. I gained a lot of weight during each pregnancy, so my skin never returned to normal. I nursed/pumped almost 2.5 years total between the both children which definitely stretched out the skin of my breasts. I am proud of the job my body did, but now it's time I restored it! I work out 5-6x a week and am very active besides that, but the only way to repair the changes in my body from child bearing/nursing is surgery.

I had a couple consultations in the area and chose Dr. Dembny because he was very thorough in his examination and knew what was best for my body type and lifestyle. He took lots of measurements, checked my skin elasticity, and looked at my bone structure. He told me that I would most likely need a breast lift in addition to my augmentation because of mild sagging. He also informed be that because I have less elasticity in my upper abdominal skin I would most likely have a vertical scar where my old belly button ended up. I also was informed of a hernia that will be repaired.

I am excited, nervous, and plan to post regular updates! I can't wait to have my confidence restored!

I'm currently 2 days PO. I only had to take one dose of percocet at the hospital. The pain is tolerable, so I have been taking Celebrex and Tylenol. I am up and walking 5-10 minutes every hour at home and whenever I wake up in the middle of the night. I will have before and after photos once things settle down a little. Dr. Dembny was able to do 390cc in my left breast and 370cc in my right(Ideal implants). I'm excited for them to drop and fluff!

I ended up only needing Tylenol until 3 days post-op. No meds since then. I seem to be healing pretty good! My abdomen gets swollen by the end of the day. I have one area that may need to be drained manually, but it's not too bad. I am back yo normal activity besides working out since 11 days PO. Now I wait to be cleared and for my end results!
