My New Torso Journey
AZmamacbMarch 28, 2019
WORTH IT$15,561
I’m a 35yo that’s 5’1” and 160lbs. “Mommy Makeover” Abdominoplasty, Breast Augmentation, and liposuction of abdomen/back/flanks
It’s finally happening! “Operation Cease Fatty is here. May 1, 2019 is the day I get my new torso!! I’m so dang excited I could cry! As a mother of 2 (15yo boy, 3yo girl) I’ve let my body be one of the many sacrifices I’ve made for my children (pics included). Let’s face it, I’ve spent my mom life deciding between fun time with kids, nap time, work, or gym time. Obviously the gym isn’t last on that list by chance. Even if I did want to go to the gym, would it actually help my hanging skin once all the fat is gone? Nope. No is the answer.
I’m working on losing 10 lbs in the next month to give me the best results possible. What’s the best BMI range anyway? Welp, time to give into my paralyzing fears. Here’s some pre (now) body pics you’ll have to wait a few more weeks for the pre op pics, and definitely after pics! If you’ve taken the time to read this, PLEASE FEEL FREE to post any suggestions, comments, and/or questions below. XO

Hi!! I qish i had your excitement a month before surgery! I was already anxious and by two weeks before, I literally needed anxiety meds for my health! I know this is such a meaningful thing for all of us but for me becoming a mom and my body changing so drastically at 18 yo, it means I will wear things and look this way for the first time in my adult life!! And I love that my adult 23 yo daughter is with me each step of the way!! You can read my review here to see if it helps at all. Im on day 11 post op now. https://www.realself.com/review/mommy-makeover-journey-8#comment-5723353

Oh, I’m terrified. I don’t want to have something happen to me all because I want my body back. Like you, I’ve just waited so long for this to happen that I’m giddy ;)

Good luck on your surgery. I wish I would have opted to have a BA as well, I'm kinda regretting that I didn't now. My TT is scheduled for April 4th, I have 3 days to go. Please post your updates, I will be following your progress.

I would love to see some updated after photos! Your body is very similar to mine, in height, weight and shape. I just have bigger breasts I think! Can you share an update?

I mean, I know that so many factors go into the final look. These pics are more of a combo list of sizes, shapes, and the overall silhouette of my dreams.
I’m thinking I want to get 600-650cc under the muscle gummy implant (doc recommends a moderate plus). I definitely want ‘boobies’ but I’m nervous it’ll make me look ‘larger’ than I am if I go too big. Perhaps more importantly, I’ve NEVER heard anyone say (after having a BA) that they “wish they would’ve gone smaller”....have you??
PS I think I’m becoming a bit obsessed. My camera roll is full of my kids and naked women lol
