I wanted a Tummy Tuck even after my first child, but I knew I would have more kids so I put it off. After
my 3 child I knew I really wanted something done. Never thought I wanted breast implants, but after age 40 my 36DD breasts where not what they use to be. I did the research and decided to have a Tummy Tuck and Breast lift with implants. I looked into doing one at a time because of cost, but if I decided to do that the cost would be more and I would have to go under more than once. I just knew I wanted it done all at one time. I was on the computer all the time looking at pics and dreaming of doing the surgery. I finally made my first appointment to go get a consult, that was all it took. It was a lot of money for our family, but again after my first consult and all the help I received with finance options, I knew it could be done. My consult was in June 2016 and on August 3, 2016 I had my "Mommy Makeover." I could not be happier!! I love my new body and just wish that I would have done it all sooner.

Thank you for the nice welcome. To answer your question. After about 2 weeks I was able to drive to my second pre-op appt. and I was off the pain meds and moving pretty well. I was still not standing up completely straight, because of my tummy tuck, but I was feeling good and doing most things I was doing before. Just still no heavy lifting for a couple weeks after that.

You look amazing! Virtually no scarring on your breasts. What did you use for your incisions?
Congrats!

Thank you so much for your kind words. Honestly, I just followed my Doctor's instructions and I kept my incisions clean and dry and they are just healing super nice. I don't think there are many products out there that help to much with scarring. Mostly it's up to you and your body how well you heal. Thank you for your question. So happy to answer any questions.

Best wishes.

Thank you haleyfearn14! So happy with all my results. Everything including my overnight stay and all my pre-op and post-op appointments, which continue months after post-op just to make sure everything is still healing and healthy, was a little over $16,000. I know that sounds like a lot, but if you break it down with some money saved and some financed it is totally doable . It's a small car payment. Also, please keep in mind everyone is different and you should just go and get a consult. I never thought in a million years I could afford it or what it was I even really wanted or needed done. It is totally worth going and at least checking it out. So many Doctors offer free consultations.

Hope this was helpful. Best wishes!!
