12 weeks post op - still very happy!

Just had my consultation with Dr. Quinn in Overland Park, KS. Instant connection, and I loved his portfolio of work. I felt a little impulsive, as I also booked him that same day. But I feel comfortable with him, liked his staff, and his work. I'm doing it. Otherwise, I'll procrastinate, find excuses, etc...

My stats: Female, 46, Widowed (hubby had pancreatic cancer and passed at 41), 2 kids 5 & 16, breastfed both briefly. 5'10", 155 lbs. I think I am a 36B, but maybe smaller? Had my last child at 41. Things just don't stretch back like after baby #1.... Don't regret a thing, am proud to be a mom, just want to amp up some curves and get pre-baby body back while I have time to enjoy it.

Thanks to those who have posted to this site - your stories give me hope and motivation. I've thought about this for years, and talked about it for years, and now I've finally booked a surgical date!

Happy to know that Dr. says I don't need a lift. He wants to do the armpit incision with silicone unders. Says I'll have some great cleavage. I was initially liking 420-450 cc, but am all freaked out to be that big once I got home and thought about it. It's easy to be big as I am tall, I think. Am hoping for a natural, larger look (if those 2 things can go together! lol) Sizing appointment on Dec. 7th.

He's also going to do a full tummy tuck - new belly button, removing extra skin, repairing muscle. I've had 2 c-sections. I don't think it's terrible, but when I sit, I feel like my belly sits in my lap! He says I could have a slight vertical scar if he can't pull down enough skin to close my old belly button hole. I'm most excited about muscle repair and to have a flat tummy. Since I'm already under, why not do the breasts?

Will try and post some "before" pictures shortly! I have 42 days and counting...

My dr office will offer a discount for cash, as I'm paying in cash! But I had to ask about it. Hey, 5% is 5%....
