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.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! It sounds like you have healthy expectations for this procedure.

Tomorrow is your big day and I'll be thinking about you!

Here's a great post by Blonde in Bluffton about her first three days post op which will hopefully give you some idea of what to expect.

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!
