Getting my Groove Back with Lipo and a Breast Reduction - Peabody, MA

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my story, as so...
WORTH IT$5,500
Hello everyone,
I wanted to share my story, as so many of you have here and it's been incredibly helpful to me. I am 44 and have had 2 babies by c-section. My stomach went from relatively nice, to yucky! I am 5' 4" and while never skinny, I have had curves, but maintained a nice figure. I weigh 162 now and would like to lose about 15 lbs. more. At my highest, with my second child - who came 10 months to the day after my first, I weighed 202.
I am pretty happy with myself except my belly and breasts. This will actually be my second breast reduction. My first I had in 2007 and wasn't that happy with. At the time it was fine, but I really wanted them smaller. My PS was pretty conservative.
Today I met with a new PS who came highly recommended. He was fabulous. Made me feel very comfortable. I also was very concerned as I knew he might tell me I needed a Tummy Tuck which I didn't want. Due to scarring, but mostly, I don't have a lifestyle where I am able to be out for a significant amount of time. I need to be back caring for my babies and back at work in a week.
The breast reduction (I hope) is being taken care of by insurance. I hope to have approval in 2 weeks for that and then I will be able to schedule my surgery. Pushing for a June first week for it. I will keep everyone posted.
This site is amazing. I went in the Dr's office and he was impressed on the level of knowledge I had. Kudos to this site for giving that to me!

What size are currently and what size are you hoping to go down to?

Hi - I am a size 10/12. I'd just like to look better. Don't care about the size there. For the girls, I am a 36 DDD, I want to go down to a C-Cup.

Oh, ok. I know your back will say thank you after the procedure is done. I was a 36-E and now I'm a full C.

Pics with clothes
I think it's important to show what I look like before and after in clothes. Here's are a few. Tomorrow I need to move this to the right treatment. No idea why this says lipo sculpture. Haha
