Breast Lift with Augmentation, Lipo on Outer Thighs and Flanks: Very Happy! - Seattle

I am a working mother with 2 wonderful children ages 12 and 20 (C-sections both times). I am 42 years old. I have a fast paced career and stay really busy as a working mom. A few years ago, I lost 30 pounds and I’ve maintained a low calorie diet since, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and lots of water. I go to the gym, and I did a fitness boot camp class, then Yoga, Pilates and cardio. It helped me maintain but didn’t help my problem areas. I’ve always been a C cup and with curves and complimented on my figure since college and as a mom. Although, unfortunately, after my kids it was harder to lose the weight, and when I did, the curves didn’t go back to where they once appeared.

My husband has always been super supportive and thinks I am fine. I just didn’t feel it. It was getting harder to maintain weight even with a lot of work in areas. My thighs became my evil nemesis. I love fashion but hated trying on jeans or pants. I found a few styles that worked but not many. My saddlebags were preventing me from looking good in most of the styles I wanted and I do not want to go to “mom jeans.” Also, the girls were less perky this year. After losing weight and having a couple of biopsies, they were less full. This really bothered me. This year I decided to do something about it. I wanted to get liposuction on my outer thighs and flanks (I started to get a muffin top this year after this not being an issue.)

My Surgery Day was 12/27. Everything went well. I ended up getting 371cc silicone implants with a lift. They look great and I didn’t want to look fake. I am in a professional job, and didn’t want to look fake.

I had my one week follow up this week. My doctor took my stitches out for my Breast Aug and lift as lipo. He suggested another bra and strap to help them go down (there is still some swelling and they are riding high. I go back in 5 weeks.

Week #2 - I am back to work. I am sore some days and fine others. I was so sore yesterday and today I was fine. The swelling is going down. I changed my tape today on my breasts. I was nervous, but it looks like it is healing.
