Any Info on Lipo, Getting Mommy Makeover Mar 7th! - Ashland, OR
I am 29, mother of 2, both c-sections, daughter...
I am 29, mother of 2, both c-sections, daughter was 9lbs 15oz. I got pregnant at 17 and had been headed toward a modeling and acting career at the time. I had my son 5 years later in 2005. I struggled to get under 167lbs, until May of last year when I finally took control with exersize and food modification. I am now 5'6 1/2" and 133lb. My goal is 125ish.
I have preop 2/24 and my surgery is Mar 7th monday at 7:30 am, will take 4 hours. I saw 4 surgeons. I am having a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening, flank and inner and outer thigh lipo, rt breast lift with saline sub muscular 400ccs filled to 425ccs. One surgeon said he would not do lipo to my thighs and that they were fine. Any advice, comments of suggestions would be helpful, I am so scared!!! I quit smoking 4 weeks ago tommorow.

UPDATE 2/24/2011 HAD PREOP TODAY! WOW, SO REAL...
So I printed out the info from realself about people saying they wouldn't lipo my thighs and other surgeons not recommending a right breast lift. My surgeon is a contributing surgeon to this sight and knew what I was talking about. He measured me and drew with his pen, and said he still recommends a right lift, and told me the lipo was going to be very minimal. We went over submuscular vs subglandular, he was voted one of the best breast surgeons so I trust his opinion, especially when I found out he had done surgery on his wife and daughters. He is obviously intelligent and well informed on everything surgical. He said subglandular implants get hard in 10-15 years and that the chest muscle does not "die" when placed submuscular. He offered to hack this irritating, little, not healing, zit thing off my face for me which is nice. The lipo on outer and inner thighs is free, so I was having a really hard time when all my friends were telling me not to do it. There was a question, Do you need a sedative prior to surgery? I jumped at that one because I've been so anxious and jumpy the more real this is becoming. My blood pressure was 137/87 which is high for me. We have blood work to do, fasting CMP and CBC, I got 5 prescriptions, wow! Plus I have to buy some hibacleanse. Turns out my selected implants were 400cc's filled to 480 which he said would be a full C, small D. By the way what is small, full? Aren't bra cups one C, one D? (giggles) Maybe it's like they are guaranteeing me at least a C. I liked the way the 450s looked, so I'm waiting on him to find out if the ones we have down will look like those. I'm so happy and scared, wish I could take the valium now, hee, hee. I loved JenBobs video, I'm gonna try to make one too. They took some before pics today. Guess this is it. WOW! WOW!

3/1/2011 Tues Hi, so I'm having issues I...
Hi, so I'm having issues I would like to share with you. I felt like I was getting sick Sunday, so I took Zicam all day (haven't had a cold in 2 years), then woke up sick Monday with yellow snot and nasal pain. I called my surgeons office and they faxed me over a zpack of an antibiiotic called azithromyazin its a quick 5 day course. I was a little concerned because I'm starting another antibiotic called Bactrin on Sunday or hmmm, maybe I should call him to make sure they still want me taking that. I feel horrible and can't breath out of my nose. I've had a few crying spells and I still am wondering how the heck I'm actually getting breast implants. My other issue is I'm getting really scared about having a one sided lift as apparently they are pretty uncommon, and some surgeons on here have advised against it. Also I keep wondering if I should go bigger on the implants... I keep hearing that people always wish they had. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated...thanks.

First, what are you going for? Natural, round, teardrop, high,wider, cleavage, or more projection??? Did you breast ?



I have a lot of friends who've had implants and we've all compared! Haha, you know girls! The ones that have 400 or smaller all wish they would have went bigger!
Also, this is just my opinion so don't take it to heart, but definatley go high profile if your doc thinks the measurements workout on your body. There is less rippling with high profile! My one regret is that I didn't overfill my implant, if he would have I would have had more roundness at the top:( but we can't have perfection. The max for mine was 675 and he went 660, I wish he would have done 680, but he's the professional!

Congrats on the weight loss and quitting smoking! What accomplishments! You're going to love your new bod when this is all said and done. Please come back and let us know how you're feeling before the surgery and how recovery goes.
I've started a Facebook page called Moms Who Want Their Bodies Back if you want to come on over and check us out.
Good luck with everything!
P.S. I can't see your thighs well in your photos, but they look nice and slim!
