I am getting a Mini tuck and silicone breast...
$9,400
I am getting a Mini tuck and silicone breast implants. I am the mother of three amazing kids ( 15, 13, and 12). I breast fed all of them. Recently divorced I am claiming back my life. I know this is not a guarantee for happiness but it will make me feel better about my self image.
I had three consultations before deciding on Dr. Peter Fakhre from the New Tampa Plastic Surgery in Tampa, Florida. He suggested a mini tuck since much of my sagging skin is below belly button. I am also getting silicone implants. Dr. Fakhre ordered 350, 375 and 400 cc implants. I liked the 350 but I realized that the implants once inside will most likely be different. I agreed to let him determine what will look best.
I am not expecting to look like a Victoria Secret model but a better version of my self now. I am very anxious about the upcoming surgery. Reading the many stories here has giving some comfort.

You will do great! Don't worry. From here on out, it only gets better. I was completely nervous about the surgery before and am just so happy it is over so I could start healing. Hope you are the same and everything goes smoothly for you. :-).

Good luck today! I'm hoping everything is going well for you and that you can soon answer that common question I think we all have: Why am I doing this? ANSWER: Because you deserve it! I too am a mother of three so I am witness what having three children can do to your body. I sometime wonder why I going through all this but then I'm faced with trying to find clothes that fit properly or finding a bra to contain my saggy mess (for the record I can only seem to make sports bras work!). I look forward to your updates and hope you have a speedy recovery! Take care of yourself!
