Time to get my sexy back! Drainless tummy tuck

ORIGINAL POST

Time for a tummy tuck!

WORTH IT$10,000
I have been doing research on and off for 2 years for a tt surgeon in the Southern CA area. I’m 5’5”, 40 years old, 135 lbs and I have 2 kids. I finally got brave enough to schedule consultations and have a date in mind for my surgery. The journey thus far has been emotional and eye opening. I contemplated a breast lift and small implant but I am too much on the fence to make the commitment so Ive decided not to do it. My head was going back and forth and it was driving me crazy. I happen to like my small 32 c size. Sure a little perkier and tiny bit bigger would be nice, but im not even sure i even want implants. I guess I can get the same look with a push up bra! So here are my tummy before pics. I have days when i question why Im doing this to myself - then i look back at the pics and remind myself about having a better quality of life. So here goes!!!

I've been doing research on and off for the past 15 years. No doctor research, just procedures. Then 6 months ago happened to get a great recommendation from a friend who confided in me that that she had a TT and LOVED her doctor. So I went with her recommendation booked a consult. My sister asked why I didn't get some boobs while I was at it, I'm basically a 34A. I have no problem taking things out, but not a fan of putting things in. Haha! Plus I have seen too many friends go through breast cancer who had to have reconstruction, so I also didn't feel right about doing that at this time. Best of luck to you, March 28 will be here before you know it!

yes exactly! Implants scare me a bit. 15 years of research? You are ready!!
February 14, 2018
Yes I was ready! Although I did almost cancel... I’m six weeks postop tomorrow, and I have no regrets; I am so happy!

If you do want a little bigger boobies, see of your ps can do fat grafting ( fat transfer) he can take it from other areas of your body and transfer it to the breasts.

I considered it but decided not to do anything.

The date is set!

I just set my date today for March 28th!! Its so exciting but I also feel like throwing up at the same time. I had 3 consultations and I chose Dr. Edward Park in Upland, Ca. I felt the most at home there. I feel there is a high level of customer service and that i will get a wonderful result.

Looking at old photos motivates me to feel confident about my tt decision. Wonder if i will feel anything like my former self after its all done.
