Breast Augmentation and Mini tummy tuck - most of the pain has subsided
ORIGINAL POST
Breast Augmentation and Mini tummy tuck
WORTH IT$14,000
I am a 34 y/o female, athletic build, and mom of 2 kids (ages 10 and 12). I breastfed both kids and gained a significant amount of weight with each pregnancy. Both were vaginal births (no c-section scar).
Like I said, I have an athletic/muscular build and I'm pretty lean. My breasts were saggy and deflated and were a source of insecurity for me. Same thing with the minor skin laxity on my lower abdomen.
I wanted my breasts to be more full and less saggy. I didn’t want excessively large breasts, I just wanted them to sit higher on my chest, and be less like deflated balloons.
I also wanted the little bit of excess skin on my lower abdomen to be removed. Given that the scar for a mini tummy tuck would be much like a C-section scar, I decided to move forward.
After meeting with several surgeons for consultations, I decided to schedule my surgery with Dr. M Azhar Ali. He and his patient care coordinator made me feel most confident that I would get the results I was looking for.
The evening of and the day after my surgery pain was the worst. I am now postop day four, and most of the pain has subsided, but swelling is significant.
Dr. Ali used mentor boost plus implants placed under the muscle.
I will continue to update as a progress through recovery.

Today is day six. I am eager to see what my breasts will look like after they soften and fluff. My one week postop appointment is on Friday 12/30.
Will continue to update as time goes on.

I don’t think my breasts have “softened” or “settled” yet. Overall, I am happy with the result so far. I wish they were not so far apart, however, I know I started with very white cleavage due to my anatomy and leanness, and placement depends on existing structures.
I’m hopeful as they settle they may not be so far apart, but I maintain realistic expectations.
I am very happy with my mini tummy tuck. I don’t think I was this flat even before kids.
I am back in the gym, but taking it slow. Anytime I do leg exercises that require me to brace my core, my lower abdomen gets swollen for the rest of the day. So I’m just taking it lighter.
I’m massaging my breasts 1-2x daily in the shower.
I see my surgeon for follow-up tomorrow. I’m excited to hear how he thinks things are settling since he’s the one with the artist’s aesthetic eye.
