Hello, I went in for a consultation yesterday for a mommy makeover and today I went ahead and made a deposit to book my surgery date! June 15, 2016 is when it will be happening. I developed breasts when I was 9 years old and by the time I was 13 they were a DD. The areola has been stretched out their entire existance and they have always drooped. I have stayed a DD my entire life except when I became pregnant and breastfed where they enlarged up to F. After giving birth I went on to lose 80 pounds where they sagged even more although I am now back to a DD. My belly got seriously hit too and i now have a lot of excess skin and fat that wont budge. I am an avid runner and it really sucks to have to wear extremley tight pants to control the bounce while running. I can't wait to start this whole journey and will be postinf pics as I go!

It is pretty typical here in the US lol! I actually feel like 10 grand here is on the cheap side because most mommy makeovers are 12 grand plus!

I agree. Personally, though, I feel better about going thru this journey within the states and around my family

As you can see my brests heavily sag and the areola is super stretched out. Also, note all the loose skin on tummy.

I have gained a few pounds from being on vacation and my current weight is 163. I am trying to get to 155 or below!

After breast-feeding my 2 kids my breast just looks like urs. Mine is more saggy and sad. The right breast is bigger and now the asymmetry is more noticeable. I hate it!

So here is my stomach when i am sitting down from the front and side. Can't wait until my mommy makeover! 2 months and 3 days away.

At this point i am just researching as much as I can. I am absolutley terrified of anesthesia. I have never been put under. Not even for my c-section or wisdom teeth removal. Someone help alleviate my fears lol!

Anesthesia is the best thing! Do not event worry about it! All you do is go to sleep, have some sweet dreams, wake up and feel like you just had a best nap ever! Whether it's a general anesthesia (when they put a tube in your throat) or deep sedation (when they give you propofol through your IV). Either is great! You'll be surprised! Very excited for you! Hope to do total mommy makeover myself some day, when I am for sure done with having kids :)) All the blessings to you!
