My Only Regret is Not Doing It Sooner

I am 52 years old, 5'4 and have 2 kids (by c-section). Incidentally, I only have one scar, now. Dr. D pulled up from the bottom and down from the top of my stomach, to form only one scar, from hip to hip.

Dr. Dionisopoulos and his assistant, Annick, thoroughly answered my never ending lists of questions weeks before, immediately preceding and with every visit after my mommy makeover; a breast reduction and full tummy tuck, including lipo in the love handles and beside the breasts. In the last year, I have become an even more active person (running Spartan races and hiking tall mountains), but all the diet and exercise did virtually nothing to reduce my breast size (about a 36E), or to remove my FUPA (apron, complete with stretch marks and a folded in belly button I haven't seen since 1999, aka my first pregnancy). Dr. D consistently demonstrated empathy, professionalism (without foregoing a good sense of humour), a wealth of knowledge and calm. He attenuated my fears, was conservative in his after-care (he immediately sent me to test for a blood clot at the slightest cramping in my calf, for instance), called the night after the surgery and took all my apprehensive, post-operative calls. Dr. D's soothing demeanor made the surgery all the more bearable. Post op pain was a 1-2 out of 10. They removed my drains (tummy only, I had none in my breasts) on Day 10 and it proved thoroughly painless. Annick took all my calls for regular after-care and patiently addressed all my concerns and explained each milestone to me. I am only one month post operative and feel very grateful to Dr. D for his attention to detail. My breasts are a redo (second time around, from many years ago) and this posed a greater challenge for the doctor. My breasts are truly fabulous (size, nipple size, sensation, scarring, etc.) and my tummy is coming along nicely. And I'm only one month out and still swollen! I can now walk for long periods, bend down to the ground, do isolated exercise for my arms and legs and carry my purse, or a small weight. No more shoulder pain (from my heavy breasts). Only a solid base on which I can now build. Within a few weeks, I will be able to ramp up my training and my goal is to lose more weight and do the consistent work in getting strong and building muscle endurance, once again.
In the pics, you may see some wrinkling (clothes, the binder, etc) and black spots (tape residue I did not immediately removed, as the lipo areas were too tender). As my title stated, then only thing I regret is not having done this years earlier. I highly recommend Dr. D. You get a great human, an awesome team and excellent results.
If you have had a nagging, incessant urge to have a mommy makeover and you can afford it, please do yourself a favour and it now, rather than later. Might as well enjoy the results for that much longer.
