WORTH IT$13,000
Mommy of two, two csections, breastfed each kid for 10 months. I am mainly doing it because my boobs look so sad, and since I am doing that I might as well fix the rest a bit. I am terrified about the TT and the big scar, so I want to try just lipo first My doctor wants to do two sessions of lipo, to minimize the risks and get better results The first procedure will be in april, the second one will be maybe 6-12 months after the first. I am also worried about gaining weight after the lipo, so any tips on how to maintain the results are welcome Scared and excited, but when these things start affecting your self esteem, you have to do it!!!!

Cris, good luck! You will look great! You will see , your body instantly will look better with the BL/BA. It will lift you up, make your torso longer, therefore skinnier! When is your surgery and what size you getting ?

I dont have any tips as I have yet to get my MM yet. But from my understanding if you dont have that much loose skin then lipo will do the trick of having a tight tummy. I have a friend that only did lipo and her results were amazing. She did have stretch marks but she had a tight tummy as well. So if you think it looks great after the lipo then that's great. For me I have a lot of loose skin. So i need the tummy tuck

1 Day post op:
So, i did it. So far so good
Everything went as planned, i dont even remember going down, last thing i remember was saying goodbye to my hubby. When they woke me up i couldnt believe it was 1:30 pm (surgery started around 7 am)
I am in pain but nothing unbearable. My boobs are really swollen and the muscle on top of it is hard as rock. There was a lot of drainage from the lipo incisions. But now there is very little. Today I went back to the doc's office, they changed my bandages and from what i could tell everything seemed to be in the right place. But i havent seen much which is fine because i am not expecting to look good right now.
All in all everything seems to be progressing fine, my muffin top is gone, my belly is looking great!!!!!
I'll post pics after the swelling goes down.

10 months is great! Way to go with the breastfeeding. I understand wanting to try lipo first. It seems less invasive. Keep us posted!
