Becoming a Mother at 19 Really Ruined my Body - got the body finally that I never got to have

ORIGINAL POST

Becoming a Mother at 19 Really Ruined my Body

WORTH IT$20,000
I had my first quite young. Being on the shorter side (5’2”) there wasn’t much room for stretching. I was left with ample loose skin and stretch marks. While I am in Maine. I knew in my gut Dr Restifo would be worth my 4 hour travel. Unfortunately due to financial setbacks my original date had to be rescheduled, but Rachel was very understanding and able to accommodate me for a date further down the line. The moment I awoke from anasthesia all the nurses told me how wonderful I looked. Once I saw myself, I nearly cried, it was like I got the body finally that I never got to have when I was young. The man is a genius and a perfectionist. Worth every cent.

Hi , you look great! What procedures did you have done other than a tummy tuck? I would be traveling a couple of hours for this doctor and wanted to know what it was like getting back and forth the day of procedure and for follow ups. They actually told me they had a patient come from Maine who drove in and didn't stay the usual 2 weeks required by other doctors.Do you have any updated pics? Congratulations!
Yes I drove from Maine. (4 hours each way) the drive home was fine as I was still medicated! Be aware that you will be in rough shape on day 3/4 which is when the post op appt occurs. I was in no shape to travel 8 hours on those days. I had an augmentation and tummy tuck (more extended TT than not). Overall good experience. Just know that post op appts will be necessary and you will have to travel.
How did you handle the follow ups? Did you stay overnight on those days and do you remember how many there were? Also, wondering how your incisions healed. Thanks for the info!
