WORTH IT$12,600
I am so happy I did this. I'm 17 weeks post op and my scar looks great...its purple but I know that will fade. It has smoothened out and is pretty low. I've been wearing bikini's all summer and it has never shown. My boobs look amazing! Love them! ...so does my boyfriend. I sleep on my stomach and they are not even noticeable while I sleep. I look totally different. I feel great.
I do have somethings I wish were done differently. I wish I had gone two sizes bigger with my breasts. I wish my belly button looks different. I don't really like it. I wish he had done the lipo on my love handles a little more and lower.
I still have some work to do on my body personally. I want to loose about 15lbs. Work on my arms and legs. I need to drink more water. I guess those are my goals. I'm pretty sure by next year at this time I'll have a kickin body if I commit to my goals.
I am completely satisfied with the surgery.
I find I'm not telling myself and others that I'm fat.
I definitely feel more confident.
I'll post pictures when my tan lines fade:)
Good Luck to everyone!!!!!!

Thanks for your lists and well thought out research, and I must say...you look like a different person! Your body looks AMAZING! Congrats on your successful makeover and awesome recovery! I hope I turn out as curvy and gorgeous as you did! :)

Hi. I just came across your review! Congrats, you look great!!!! I was just wondering what PS you saw in Albany. I am from the Albany area and met with a few here. I decided on Dr. Deluca in Latham. Just curious who u saw.
August 20, 2012
His name was Dr. Steven Lynch. He was very professional, I really liked his office and the way the consultations went. He seemed to be a perfectionist, which I really liked. I decided on Dr. Deboni from Syracuse because he was closer and had heard sooo many great things about him. But I would have went with Dr. Lynch if I had not used Dr. Deboni.

Yep. I've heard of him. I actually consulted with 2 doctors in his group and wasn't very impressed with either. I did like the office staff, etc. but I just wanted to be 100% with my final choice. It's kinda scary to think in less than 3 weeks I will be leaving my body in someone elses hands completely and trusting them to NOT leave me looking worse than I do going in!

Just remember he is a professional and he wants you to look great and be happy with how you look...its great for his business. When I did my surgery I knew anything would be better than where I started. Good Luck!

I'm 8 weeks. WOW! Its gone by soooo fast. I love looking in the mirror. That's really weird for me to say but I'm the girl that for the last 5 years my boyfriend had never seen me naked, before surgery. But now I walk around naked, we take showers together, and I don't jump behind doors when he comes in the room when I'm changing. We went out on the boat and I even wore a bikini this last weekend...first time in 12 years. Sex has been great, at first everything felt weird but now its great because I'm not self-conscience, I'm not worried that my belly is showing or jiggling the way its not suppose to. Its totally awesome.
I do still have days that I'm still hard on myself. I want to loose 15lbs and I really need to loose it in my booty and thighs. Especially since my tummy is so flat now my thighs look huge, but I'm working on it.
My boobs have been coming along, I love them. Yes, unfortunately, I am one of those people who say "I wish I would have gotten them bigger" but next time around in 10 years or so. I'm a 36C.They do look good. They still need to settle but I already love them.
My scar is still healing. The puckering is smoothing out and the line is getting thinner. I really like where it is placed, its low and is hidden under all of my clothes. No dog ears!
I went to the PS yesterday yesterday he said everything looks great. He thinks for 8 weeks I'm doing really good. Boobs still need to settle, scar looks great, no need to wear binder, massage boobs at least once a day, and enjoy the summer.
He said the boobs need to be massaged at least once a day if not more because I need to stretch the skin under the boob in order for them to settle more because I had very little breast tissue.
I still wear the binder....alot. I wear it to bed, to work, and around the house. I feel like it helps the little bit of swelling I still get, and it gives me support when I work because I clean 9 houses per week. I sleep in it because I sleep on my side and stomach and I feel like it protects my tummy a little. When I don't wear it I make sure to suck my tummy in and have good posture, I'm a big sloucher and when you slouch you give your tummy an undeserved rest.
I am so completely happy that I did this. The mommy makeover has improved my life emotionally and physically.
I'll post pics soon. Gotta ask someone to take some pics of me.
Good Luck to everyone!

5 weeks post-op
Everything is going good. I walked and rode my bike for three mile altogether yesterday. Felt great. Want to loose another 15lbs. Love my tummy and new boobies.
I went out for cocktails this last weekend and got lots of looks and got hit on twice...crazy! I was nervous but felt great.
Still not sure about wearing a bikini this summer. I hate my thighs. Everything else looks awesome!
Its funny I still have to remind myself that I have a flat tummy again.
Hope you all are doing great, Enjoy your new body.

Thanks for all of the updates. And your bod looks great! Love the tattoo. Did it hurt?
The tattoo wasn't me, it was a picture I found. If in a year I am worried about my scar I was thinking this could be an option to try to disguise it :) My scar is pretty low so I'm not too worried.
I'm pretty sure I'm getting a bellybutton ring though.
Good Luck to you!
