34 Years Old: Much Needed Mommy Makeover After 100+ Pound Weight Loss - Mexico

WORTH IT
My swelling continues to decrease (though the lower back is still stubborn). The changes in my body become more evident each day. Stitches are all out and my incisions are healing beautifully.

This left photo was taken the night before I left for surgery (5/20/15) and the right photo was taken 11 days post op, 6/1/2015. I still have a lot of swelling in my abdomen, particularly around and below the umbilicus. This, coupled with the dark stain from the topical antibiotic, makes my lovely new belly button appear larger than it actually is

Beautiful!!!!! Oh my gosh !!
You didn't have to do your arms or legs? This excites me so much. Gorgeous !
Thank you! I had a tiny bit of lipo near my knees, but that's it. I would consider a "mini" arm and thigh lift in the future... but I'm going to hit the gym really hard once I've got clearance and see what kind of improvement I can get that way before I commit to more surgery.
Holly wow you look amazing!! Congrats on your transformation and your up coming wedding. Thank you for posting your review...what is your favorite part of your MM?? What was the most uncomfortable/painful...? Any surprises or things you wished you had known before to make things easier??
Thank you!!
Tummy Tuck: This is by FAR my favorite of the procedures, because the results are apparent immediately. I have had minimal pain related to the TT, just the discomfort due to it being so tight.
Breast Augmentation: This has been the most painful for me. I think it's been especially rough because it is combined with the tummy tuck--- since I'm limited in movement due to the muscle repair during TT, I have to use my arms a lot (like when getting out of bed), this makes me VERY aware of how sore my breasts are.
Liposuction: I was told that I had a lot of blood mixed in during liposuction (and my hemoglobin was borderline to begin with) so the surgeon limited the amount of lipo. I can already tell that my waist is more defined and my bra line back fat roll is almost non-existent. This makes me very happy!
Brazilian Butt Lift: I wasn't able to have much fat transferred to my butt for BBL, so while my butt is much higher and tighter, it still doesn't have a whole lot of projection.
Wow thanks for the in depth response, I'll say it again you look amazing!! Such an inspiration
Sorry it was all jumbled... all of my spacing disappeared once I hit submit! :)
You look awesome! Could you please mention how much the surgery cost. Thx
ORIGINAL POST
After years of Yo-Yo dieting and massive weight...
After years of Yo-Yo dieting and massive weight loss, I underwent a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in 2011. I lost in excess of 100 pounds and have maintained that loss for over 4 years. I am getting married in October of this year (2015) and with a St. Lucia honeymoon booked, I finally had the motivation to take care of the loose, hanging skin that would never be remedied without surgical intervention.
My "Mommy Makeover" included sub-muscular Breast Augmentation with correction of a slight existing asymmetry, Circumferential Tummy Tuck, Liposuction of upper back, lower back, flanks, and Brazilian Butt Lift. I also had fat transfer to nasolabial folds and under my eyes, and I had two moles removed near my lips.
At this point, I am 10 days post-op and my results have far exceeded my expectations. I am swollen and bruised, but I have a beautiful hourglass figure already! My breasts are no longer asymmetrical and my waist has a beautiful sculpted appearance. My favorite? My butt no longer looks like it is sliding down the back of my legs (haha!). I cannot get over how young and smooth it looks. I will be taking photos and updating this review every 2 weeks and am so excited about tracking my progress.

I can't wait to see your pictures. I had gastric bypass and lost 100 also. Sometimes I want to do the rest all at once.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. It would be so great to see some photos if you have time.
Looks great!
What size implants did you get??
Hi! I have 620cc in right and 600cc in left to correct some mild asymmetry
