Mommy Gets Her Body Back After 3 Babies - Sacramento, CA

I decided it was time for a little refresher. After having 3 boys, the youngest being 1, it was time to get my body back. Going for a breast lift and augmentation as well as a full tummy tuck. I have severe diastasis recti (muscle separation) and an umbilical hernia. My tummy pooches out so much and doesn't fit my body. I'm 5'1, currently weigh 118 pounds (10 pound over prepregnancy weight). I try to work out as much as I can fit in with having a husband, 3 kids, a full time job and being a full time student. Although I would love to get to the gym more frequently it usually ends up to be only 3-4 times a week. I just can't seem to get my stomach to go down and decided surgery was the solution for my stretched out skin and muscles. And my boobs although still pretty big (34D / 32DD in VS) were not as perky as I would like them to be, as well as being asymmetrical (left is bigger then right). Anyway, after eating right and working out I found that my body really wasn't bouncing back to its pre pregnancy size and decided to do something about it now, rather then waiting for another year of my life to pass by. I'll be 33 next month and I want to be able to enjoy my body while I'm still young. So here is my experience and my journey. Hope it will help me along my journey and hopefully help someone else who is searching for similar results and expectations. After my consultation I set an apt for a breast lift and augmentation as well as a full tummy tuck. I thought about getting lipo on my hips and flanks as well, but Dr. Sweat said he didn't think it would be necessary. I'm so excited for surgery as well as nervous. I will be just coming back from our family vacation in Hawaii and will be off from work for the Summer. I will have class to attend 6 days later so I'm hoping for a speedy recovery. I will need to be back up to normal activities 10 days later as I have clinicals for school starting up the following Saturday. Any info about length of recovery from a TT and BA would be appreciated. I plan on getting an electric recliner for the first week after surgery as well as embrace tension dressing for my abdominal scar to help minimize scarring.

I find myself spending a lot of time on this site now, and it has been very helpful. I'm glad this site is here and I feel much more prepared on what to expect post op as well as some things to talk with my doctor about before my surgery (which is right around the corner !!) I wrote down a bunch of questions I wasn't able to ask in my initial consultation. And I'm making the 2 hour drive to the Sacramento office versus the Stockton office so I can see my doctor. Some things I plan to ask are his input on my implant size. He really wasn't involved with it the first time I tried on implants. He made it seem like it was more of a personal choice then for him to decide. I feel differently now after reading on here other doctors saying it's good to get the surgeons input since he is the expert. I have some wish pictures on my phone I plan on showing him and am interested in what size he will suggest. My initial idea was to go with 325cc on my left and 375cc on my right. Now I'm thinking maybe more like 375 left and 400 right. Also want to get his input on the type of profile he is going with for me and ask about using sizers on the table and making the decision himself at that point, knowing in his head the look I'm trying to achieve. Also want to ask about textures versus smooth gel implants. No saline for me. There is so many different things to focus on with both the TT procedure and BA. I'm sure I'll feel much better after all my questions are answered by him tomorrow. These pictures are all wish pics I liked. Hopefully it gives him a good idea of the size I'm looking for.

Seeing his work on these pics convinced me to go back to my original plan on doing a full lollipop lift instead of the donut lift.
