39 Years Old, Mother of - Extended Tummy Tuck & Flank Lipo - West Bloomfield, MI

I am 39 and mom to 4 wonderful kids. They are 21,17, 10, and 3. I weigh 179 and I am 5"5' tall.
I found that, while deciding of a tummy tuck was for me, It has been so helpful to be able to look at other people's experiences with plastic surgery. So, I'm also sharing my experience to hopefully help someone who's trying to make their decision!

Last week I finally scheduled my extended tummy tuck and flank lipo! I can't believe it's less than two weeks away! It's been kind of an emotional roller coaster coming to the decision. I'll post more about that later on.
Here are a few "before" photos.

So excited and nervous too! Im working hard to get our home super organized to lessen the load for my daughter and my husband who will be helping me during my recovery!

Im stocking up on stuff I might need in recovery: magazines (because im sure I will get tired of TV and staring at my phone screen!), ice packs, popsicles (in case of nausea- popsicles usually work well for that), buying a few extra pillows for added comfort, some palmers cocoa butter, some pre made fruit smoothies. I will be doing some more reading to see if theres anything else that may come in handy.

Took some more before photos too. Theres an old nasty tattoo that the doc said he can take off for me.. Its my ex husbands name and it got stretched with my pregnancies so its now illegible too! Lol cant wait to be rid of that!!!
