Mommy makeover coming January 29th, 2018!!

WORTH IT$14,600
I am 5’5, 166lbs, bra size 36C/D with asymmetry. I am so excited to get my breast lift and augmentation (400 & 350ccs respectively), liposuction of the hips and inner thighs, and a tummy tuck! I’m all paid up and booked for surgery a week from tomorrow! Is this real?! I keep going from pure excitement to major doubt, wondering if this is really going to work for me.
I’m 36 years old and had my first child at age 20 after a rough pregnancy with pre eclampsia. I got pregnant again within a year and my belly never had a chance to shrink back up. Number 3 came along 5 years after that. I feel like a balloon that has been inflated and deflated too many times, and is just going to fall apart. My stomach looks like a bowl of punched down bread dough and my breasts are sad and droopy. I sometimes feel like I literally gave up my body for my kids. Not that I resent them- I would absolutely do it over again. But I would’ve appreciated my youthful body more while I had it....
Anyway, I’m really exited to get this over already and start healing!

Surgery was yesterday! I can’t believe it has come and gone already! Dr Montag is the sweetest most talented doctor and I can’t say enough good things about her or her nurse Tracee! They removed almost 5 pounds of skin and fat, and 3 liters of fat in liposuction. I can’t stand straight or walk very well but it’s early. I’m already tapering down my pain meds. I am going to do everything possible to heal well.

Do you have any updates?
March 19, 2019
I do! Unfortunately I can’t update pictures on the app and I never log in on a computer. But I have to say I am REALLY happy with my results! I look better than I did as a teenager! As of today I am 7 weeks post op. I had a harder time recovering than I expected due to an infection and producing more fluid than most. But even with my 7 week post op level of swelling I feel amazing and love looking at my new body. As conceited as that sounds, I always avoided seeing myself naked prior to surgery. Dr Montag and her nurses have been life changing in their work and their manner of handling my case. I can not recommend them enough. Everything from beginning to end has been worth it. Definitely not easy but absolutely worth it. I sometimes put my hands on my belly at night and remember what used to be there. I don’t miss it at all. And it totally took away my fear of surgery!

Hope you’re continuing to do well. I just had my lift three weeks ago. Different Doc but same location. Nice to see someone else from this part of town.
Congrats on being seven weeks out now. Can’t wait til I get there.

Yes! I actually had my heart set on a different doctor at another place in Omaha. But after meeting him I knew it wasn’t a match. So once I went to ASI and met with Dr Montag and the experienced the care of the staff, I knew I was in the right place. I actually drove 5 hours to go to her. I hope you’re feeling better every day. 3 weeks was a hard place for me, but it seemed like once I hit 4, everything got better rapidly. Good luck with the rest of your journey!

Oh that’s so good to know. I go back to work t four weeks and I’ve been nervous since I’m not at 100% yet. That said. Every day I do feel better but boy even with all my research and reading this was still a harder process than I realized.
I looked at one other Doc in Omaha too but he wanted to do my lower body lift and BA in two separate surgeries. With ASI they could do it in one because of the partners and still keep me at a five hour surgery. So that sold me.
But yes, the staff has been great. And I like my doc too, all of that certainly helps!
Congratulations on your upcoming Mommy Makeover! Can't wait to follow your journey
