Hi, new friends and old ;)

In February I had a bbl with lots of lipo (5 liters) and fat transfer (1860 per side) to my flat, saggy butt. In Beverly Hills... I have a long review with lots of pictures posted. Very happy I did that. However...

I am 61, gave birth three times, ranging from 9.5 to 10.5 lbs and breastfed for about 5 years. No big surprise that I have saggy boobs and a wrinkly tummy. Oh and a saggy pubic area. Ugh. At my bbl post op I discovered (to my dismay) I would need a tummy tuck, but was kind of in denial. I go into detail in my other review, I want this one to be about the mommy makeover and the experience going out of the US.

I will provide more details later, mainly wanted to post the pics I just took, before I chicken out haha, but I will say, one of the deciding factors was the aftercare offered by both Dr Camacho and the recovery facility, Casa de Angel, owned by Angel Bay. Angel and I have become fast friends and I can't wait to meet her on Tuesday!

Not sure if I will post pics again before I come home, but I will be online for sure. It helped me so much with my bbl in Feb to feel connected to this community. So, here it goes :/

PS, I am getting breast lift with smallish implants and an extended tummy tuck. Also getting "vaser" lipo this time. I will write a separate review after comparing the two. I am beyond excited! Ask me anything...

Good luck. I am 5 weeks post. I decided I no longer wanted to deal with implants at my age and went with fat transfer. Glad I did. You will love TT after all is done. I did not plan on that and LIPO but was what was needed for fat transfer. It's a long haul but in the end I think it will be well worth it. Just take it easy. Most of the problems I see are from doing too much too soon. Mine was drainless so that was much better. It bit more stitching for surgeon but better for patient.

The tumescent lipo I had in BH was no joke, and I still feel twinges sometimes, 8 months later. The vaser lipo I am having this time (will hopefully smooth out some lumpiness from the first one) is supposed to be much less traumatic and only uncomfortable for a few days. I will write a review comparing the 2 types after I've experienced both.

I am very confident in my decision. I have researched extensively and really feel Dr Camacho will give me the best results. He is also very safety minded, conservative really. I am so excited! Having a hard time sleeping actually, I'm sure that is normal ;)

Sis I'm trying to get my mind right for the surgery. I believe that I will be happy with my result. I pray that the pain is not to great. Thank you for taking time out to respond . Pleas keep me in your prayers

Arrived in San Diego a little before 11, was in Dr Camacho's office by 1130! So easy. The lab person came to the office to draw blood and got it on first try, which isn't always the case ;). This was followed by the cardiologist, right in the office, including an ekg. Efficient.

I had already met (and hugged) Dr Camacho when I arrived and now we talked about my desires. Tentatively decided on 280 CD cohesive gel implants for youthful upper pole fullness. He will have the next larger size also to see what works best. He is conservative, which I appreciate.

Then we took pictures, the turning like a click type. He marked the try tuck and lipo areas first, then spent a lot of time measuring and marking for the breast lift. It will be a full anchor incision which gives the best lift and perkiness, which us what I want. I typically scar very well so hopefully that will be the case. I'm not a fan of breast lift scars, but if I'm doing this, I want the maximum result.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, I need to be there by nine. I hope to post a pic of the markings later.

Also, the recovery house I'm at is breathtaking. So pleased I chose Casa de Angel.

Everything went well, my incisions look darn near perfect, I'm so pleased :). I am 5 days post and in swell hell, I feel like a sausage lol. I just have my phone QED it's not great for posting pics so will wait till next week for the visuals. My breasts look so perky and youthful! I got 295 CD implants and they're still a little high, but have feeling in nipples YES! Haha. I also got lipo on arms, inner thighs and knees, so I'm puffy. I'll try to check in more often. It's so beautiful and relaxing here at Casa del Angel <3
