Mommy Makeover
I've thought about this since I had my first son at 21. Finally at 44, I decided it was time. I exercise regularly 5 times a week. I definitely could cleanup my diet and lose more weight. I'm 5' 2" and on the day of surgery weighed 151 lbs. Thank you Covid quarantine for the extra 10 lbs! Today sitting at 6 weeks postop, I am weighing 143 lbs.
I decided on the following: breast lift with implants, abdominoplasty, as well as lipo to the flanks, back, inner and outer thighs.
I was very nervous about all of this and was doubtful the day before. I worried that I had gained weight. I worried that I wouldn't heal properly. I worried that it just wouldn't make that much of a difference. However, I made it to the day of surgery very nervous and apprehensive to say the least.
This is not something to be taken lightly. It is not going to create a model body. I've seen some photos where they got way better results than I feel I have but I accept that I did this because I wanted something to be better, not perfect. I was really hopeful for a more hourglass appearance too, but I just don't have that body I guess... however, I know when I drop those 10 lbs from quarantine, I have a possibility of having abs. Just seeing that there is a midline is so comforting, as I have not had that since before kids.
The after surgery definitely feels like you made the wrong choice. There is pain and blood and what will become scars eventually. There is all of these "what ifs" that will happen over the next year probably (I'm only at 6 weeks). But day by day you see the progress in your healing and start to feel more like yourself.
Have someone that loves you to help take care of you for the next two weeks. My husband helped me do everything for the first week and took care of all the things I typically take care of around the house for 3 weeks. He was truly the best nurse and caregiver. I hope you have such a great loving person to take care of you.
A weird thing is you just can't eat as much right after, as you feel so full after a few bites. Take advantage and enjoy eating less and choose healthy options during this time. Your body is healing and needs veggies and protein.
Also starting at like 3 weeks, I started involuntarily stretching. It's like my abs wanted to go back to separating so I felt like my abs were trying to sabotage my results. It was painful to sneeze or cough, let alone trying to stretch!
I haven't been cleared to really exercise yet and I imagine from how I feel trying to do a squat, that weightlifting will be a little bit more time. The liposuction really makes everything feel tight and you can't really stretch for some time. Even now at 6 weeks, I feel that my hips are so tight that it I'll be several more weeks of working on mobility to be able to regain my ability to be able to do a full depth squat, perhaps even longer with weights (I'll have to update when I get there).
My doctor chose Mentor Memory Gel Smooth Round Moderate Plus Profile left 200 cc and right 250 cc. I didn't want to go large and wanted something natural. I went from a B to a full C cup. That is all I need.
Dr. Harvey was open and honest. His staff was very responsive and was able to answer questions, typically responding in a few hours. I would definitely recommend his practice to anyone looking for a doctor.
I feel my results are pretty great. We'll see how much my results improve after I get to begin exercising and running again. I have my 6 week check in 2 days and hope to be cleared.
