Here we go! I've decided it might be fun (for me)...
WORTH IT$12,500
Here we go! I've decided it might be fun (for me) and helpful to others if I document my mommy makeover journey. My surgery is scheduled for 11/7/16.
My children are now ages 4, 4, and 5.5 yrs. and after wrestling with whether or not to have a 4th baby, my husband and I have decided that our family is complete.
I am having a tummy tuck, BA, and inner thigh lipo. Since I don't have enough laxity above my belly button to allow for a low scar, the Dr has discussed the option of an inverted "t" scar on which my low horizontal scar will be accompanied by a small, vertical midline scar. I'm still unsure about this. There's also the option to "float" my belly button down an inch or so to avoid the vertical scar, but then the skin below my belly button might not be able to be pulled as tight. I'll update with my decision after my pre-op appointment in October!
As far as my BA, I think I'm going to have to wear a shirt over the sizers because it's really hard to see what they'll look like by just putting implants in your bra. I like to be active and don't want my boobs getting in the way. In fact, the goal is for my breasts to be a non-issue in all aspects of my life. I want to fit into my clothes and dresses without having to use bra pads, but I also want to workout without interference. Having said all that, I think I'm leaning toward 300cc silicone.
And lastly, I'm also getting liposuction in my inner thighs. My thighs are completely unrelated to having children, but they've always bothered me. I have very short, stumpy legs relative to my torso and I'm hoping the lipo will give the illusion of more length.
That's all for now!

I also have to have the vertical incision as well ..Ive decided that it's definitely not a deal breaker ..I just hope I get the results that Ive imagined I would .

When is your surgery? I have moments when the idea of a vertical scar doesn't bother me, but other days when I feel like I'll look like frankenstein with the scarring and then I start to freak out. Good luck and hope to follow your journey!

Good luck with your surgery !! I definitely look forward to following your journey ..

You are going to look great! I'm so excited for you. You will definitely have an easier and more laid back recovery now that the kids are older. And take advantage of it and be super lazy! Yea my vertical incision was an inch longer than he expected so it's probably two inches total but it's really not a deal. I still have some stretch marks so I think it will just eventually blend right in haha.

Thank you! I am seriously hoping that my post op is half as good as yours so far! Getting anxious and thinking of a million things I could do with $12.5K than elective surgery. Can't stop the back and forth...

I'm getting TT and BL after twins too and being only 5'0 tall I've seriously thought about my thighs to

I had a similar tummy to you but only one 11+ lb baby! I wonder how big each of your twins weighed? Btw your after photos look great! I really like the months apart breast shots because you can really see that they dropped. I should take a picture now and in a few months to see if I can notice the changes. I'm 3 weeks PO.

Whoa, that's incredible! My twins were almost 7lbs each. I'm going to do another boob comparison soon at 3 months. Hope your healing is going well!
Oooh, so exciting. I'm glad you're doing this for yourself. You might want to check out this post: 10 Things I Wish I'd Known Before My Makeover. Please keep us updated!
