Hey everyone! Well, i have finally made the decision to say goodbye to my deflated boobs and belly and all that came with growing and birthing five kiddos. The baby is 3 and our family is complete, so this Momma is READY!
I have a consult with 2 local surgens within the next month. Dr Deluca-Pytell and Dr Anthony Youn. So me and the hubs will see both and make the big decision.
I am thinking i want an augmentation,TT, and lipo of the flanks,hips and thighs.
Cant wait to get this process going!

Getting ready for my first consult!
I am getting excited to meet my first Dr....And a little nervous too. As I mentioned I have 5 kids.... ranging in age from 13 to 3, a busy husband who travels, and a boat load of responsibilities to keep our house running. We have no family within 4 states of us and I'm just starting to worry about how we are going to do this. I also wonder what I'll say to my children...any recommendations out there? My 6,4,&3 year olds won't really get it BUT my 12 and 13 year old certainly will. (13= boy,12=girl) I just want (especially my oldest daughter) not to start to question her body because mom is unhappy with hers! :(
Here are a few more before pics
Meet with the doc Tuesday! Wish me luck!

Im scheduled for my MM 3/15. If u consider a 3rd consult look into Dr. Sherbert West Bloomfield. I also went to Youn and Patel for consults. Dr. Sherbert was my 3rd , not a question in my mind, he was the Dr. for me. Of course just my personal experience. Good Luck on your journey!!

Thanks so much for the input! Can I ask what your reason was for choosing who you chose? Better surgical outcomes? Or was it just based on gut feeling?
I hope you post about your experience, I'd love to follow along! Good luck to you as well!

Certainly had a gut feeling, although my girlfriend is ob/gyn and swears by him, that had strong influence as well. Not only does she see/feel breasts all day long , she used him as well. Until I started looking for Dr.s I had no idea she had hers done;)
DrYoun and Patel obviously in the same practice, I liked them both very much. Very professional,beyond qualified etc. Just a little too fancy for me personally. Price had nothing to do with my decision, Patel was several thousand higher than Sherbert. Youn is even more , he is awesome from what I hear, but quite high profile as well.
Hope this helps!! you will know when you find the right Dr. , it just feels right.
Look forward to following your journey......

I too have wondered what this surgery would mean to my daughter. She's only 4 so I'm not sure if she would really take much notice as to my motives. It's interesting the issues and thoughts that come up with all this stuff.
As for telling the older kids, I point blank asked my 17 year old what he would think if I got work done and he told me, " Mom, you do what you want cause you've done so much for all of us over the years. You deserve it." Pretty much made my year!! My 14 year old didn't seem to care min either. They just want to support me. Best of luck to you!!!

First consultation DONE
Yesterday I met with Dr Danielle Deluca-Pytell....and I liked her A LOT! I know I should probably meetmet with another doc to two, bit I felt super comfortable with her and I felt confident in her abilities. I don't really know what more I would be liking for. Am I crazy?? Or have any of you gone with the first and only doctor you saw?
The examination was pretty embarrassing I have to say...I wasn't quite prepared for that. I have never had anyone grab on to my rolls and squish them all around. Or squeeze my boobs like a pancake and measure them. But all for a good cause right! Haha!
I felt and tried on implants and think I'll be going with silicone implants under the muscle. I have asymmetry so one implant will be bigger than the other. I was surprised how big the sizes felt. I definitely came in thinking (based on reading reviews and seeing pics on here) that I would want something around 400cc's. However, I am pretty sure I will be sticking to 350 on my smaller side and only 300cc's on the other.
She said I was a fantastic candidate for a tummy tuck and I would get a really great really result. She did say however, which really surprised me, that she did not recommend lipo. She said I already had an hour glass and a figure others were trying to achieve and that lipo could potentially change that and make me look out of proportion. That made me feel good to know that she wasn't trying to force or encourage unneeded procedures on me...even ones that I was asking for and ready to pay for.
My appointment with Dr Youn isn't until the end of April, so I'm really torn whether I should even go or not

I too have thought 400cc's sounded good to me based on pics on here and research. But I was told recently by a friend who has implants that would be way too big for me...so goes to show photos aren't something to base your choice on. I can't wait to get in and hold the implants and really get a feel for them. I have a volume loss at the top due to pregnancy and breastfeeding all my kiddies. So The Ladies need help! Can't wait to follow along and see your journey!

Yes! Holding and actually touching the implants was very helpful! I think the biggest shock to me was how different saline verses silicon was! I had no idea!
Listen to your doc about sizing (unless of course you are wanting a certain look)
Mine surgeon even asked to give her the final say in the operating room, which I was perfectly ok with. I just want my boobs (plus a little lol) but nothing crazy. I figure she will do what's best and looks the most natural.
