WORTH IT$19,300
33 years old and wanted to feel confident in my own body. Along with muscle repair. I opted to have a complete mommy makeover in one day instead of breaking it up into different surgeries. I selected my surgeon by recommendation from one of my clients who had a breast lift. Dr. Chen was upfront and honest with me what to expect (realistically) a true artist!
Surgery was completed on 7/2/18
Breast didn’t give me any trouble at all! Minimal pain. Lipo I think was worse. Four sights on my back one on my groin and two near my arm pit. The tummy tuck incision goes around to the back so laying/sitting has been very uncomfortable. Mons pubis was extremely swollen which freaked me out! I didn’t expect to see it like that ????

My breast are looking fantastic! Very natural and perky. I was nervous of loosing sensation in my nipples but fear not! Still being very cautious with the girls. I showed them last night to my bf and definitely got his approval ;)
My tummy has a puffy area above my BB. met with my surgeon and he said it was flat after surgery and we may need to have a revision. Not too worried at this point. It’s not even been 4 weeks post op so I’m hopeful to let my body heal more.
Went back to work after 15 days off. I’m a fully booked stylist and I should have had 3 weeks off but I always feel like I let my clients down when I’m not there. Luckily I have shampoo help and that’s been a blessing!

How did you feel after you got back to work that 1st wk? I plan to be off from wk from about 3 wks post surg. I hope that when I do go back I won't be going back too soon. I'll listen to my body and if it turns out ot be too soon I'll just take more time off/wfh.

First week was hell. I even had exparel added and everything still hurt. By 2nd week I was moving much better. I even drove at 11 days. You should be good with 3 weeks. I’m 3 1/2 post op now and I feel really good! Are you a stylist as well?

Took new pics this morning. I am absolutely loving my new body. So far I’m swelling a lot after work (full time stylist) I’m still numb from my bb down to my mons. It’s only been 3 1/2 weeks and I’m lucky to be this far along.
Glue is still on my tummy and no open sights ????????. Starting to get feeling in my back we’re lipo was done as well.

I have a recliner in my bedroom that I plan to sleep in. I initially was going to sleep downstairs in my lower level for most of my recovery because I have a full kitchen and bedroom down there(in-law suite) but think I will stay down there the 1st night and then make my way upstairs (with help and slowly) to my bedroom so that I can sleep in the recliner. How long did your surg take? If you don't mind sharing.
My PS surg said he anticipates my surg to take about 4-4.5 hrs. and he didn't want me under anesthesia any longer than that and I'm in excellent health.
When he said to me I was thinking dang my TT and lipo must like some sort extreme case! But we will see I hope I have a good outcome. I'm trying to look really good in time for my Son's wedding in late Sept. This PS would be the 4th PS I consulted with. I had gone so far as to schedule and cx with two other PS's. So it's now or never for the new me/Mother of the Groom!
