Tummy tuck and neck lipo - Sarasota, FL

Silicone is alot better than. Saline moves and makes you look Unnatural and the Intend to ripple

You have the same breast size and questions I had prior to my TT/BL 2 1/2 weeks ago. I am 41 breasted 5 kids and weighed 145 prior to surgery and am 5'2". Dr said I was a good candidate for lift with implant over muscle since I have enough breast tissue. The type of profile (high, mod plus, mod classic) depends on how wide your chest wall is. If you are narrow and want larger breasts than u would want high profile. I am wider based at my chest so I had mod plus profile. My implant size was 200 cc and I fit perfectly back into my Victoria's Secret 36 DD bra which is what I wanted. I was tired of having droopy breasts. I posted after pics on my blog and will try and update tomorrow so I can see weekly progress. Tummy tuck is hard recovery. Fortunately my kids are older 9,11,13,15,17 so I could take plenty of rest breaks without having to worry about taking care of small kids. Still it's a huge surgery and I tire easily. I have a fitbit that tracks my steps and pre surgery I averaged 17,000 steps day today I hit the 8,000 mark and I am quite warn out but not as hunched over as I was. I would def recommend getting a walker. I still use mine at night as I get more and more tired. Immediately after surgery I used it constantly. Mine also had a seat which was great because I could sit mid walk whenever I needed and i still use it to sit on when I do my hair and makeup. Good luck!!

Ps had silicone and they feel natural to me

I'm so glad you started your story on RealSelf! You'll get lots of support here. Here's what some doctors say about choosing the right profile for you (profile really means projection).

Will you be going on more consultations, or are you choosing between the two you've seen?

That's so interesting about the second PS! I was hoping that the PS's I saw would suggest just a lift. The 2nd hardly mentioned my boobs at all, he focused most on wanting a fleur de lis TT or a body lift (even though I said I didn't want that). Which is why I decided against him, but you're making me think maybe I was too quick to judge. Maybe he knew what was best? But I didn't want to hear it!! I do think you should go who you feel good with because confidence about the surgeon I honestly do feel affects our recovery, yknow? Which is why I believe I chose the first PS I saw because I liked the way he made me feel. I think it's awesome that you have first hand knowledge because of your moms experience. That would make me feel even happier,I think.

Did you end up using Dr. Schmidt? I have a consult with him in a week.
