So excited and nervous for the mommy makeover! I am a 27 year old mom of a 4 year old. My baby was large and gave birth via C-section. The weight gain with the pregnancy was significant and caused stretch marks. I breastfed for one year and when that was over, I lost all the volume in my breasts. I know this will be well worth it. All the women on this website have had beautiful results and I would appreciate any advice and support that you all have to offer. I will make sure to post pictures after the procedure. Thanks ladies!!

Hey there, congrats on your decision to get a MM, what all are you having done? I would say for myself it was very similar to the uncomfort of my c sections but on a longer level. I am still recovering and i will be 5 weeks tomorrow. Its a real long road. Do you have anyone helping after because that is a must. I look forward to watching your journey, good luck! I believe you will have fantastic results :)

Hello :) thank you for the advice. I just looked at your pics and you look beautiful! Your tummy tuck scar is so thin and low. I hope mine turns out that way. I will be doing a breast lift, which I just learned will require the lollipop scar :-/ and 350cc implants and full tummy tuck, which will also probably require a small vertical scar. My husband took off for 3 days and my mom will be here for a week. Do you think that's long enough? I'm so worried about my little boy, 3, who loves to cuddle and jump on me at any minute. It will probably hurt more than pain from surgery to tell him he cannot touch me. I hope to have results as good as yours!!

I'm in Orlando planning to have a MM too my worst fear is the pain I went thru 2 C-sections huge babies. My waist used to be 22 inches with my first baby went to 45 inches. I'm 44 right know I want my body back as well. I'm sure you will look gorgeous. Please let us know who is you DR and in the results. I 'm considering Dr. Soto but I'm still saving the money probably I will schedule for the next summer.
