Gosh. Lots of questions.
I had the surgery in May of 2011. Scars are still visible, though fading. I had always wanted a breast aug, bc I have always been flat (AA) and was even more so after 2 kids. I also have always carried a lot of weight in my midsection and that too worsened after 2 kids. Forgot to mention that I also had lipo to the muffin top area. |

Ok; some other answers.
The pain and tightness was very bad the first week; not so bad after that. It was painful to run for several months after unless I wore some tights with support. I am basically the same size. I think I lost 3-4 inches in my waist, so now my hips tend to be my limiting factor. I don't really have recs for a face doc bc I wasn't looking for that. |

I exercise six days a week and am in much better shape than I have been at any time in the past 7-8 years. Keeping the good tummy results is a great motivator. Before I felt like I could exercise tons and would never get rid of the flab and skin, and that is very discouraging. |

I'm not sure. If anyone was looking closely at me before, they could probably tell. But the results are pretty subtle, so I don't think a stranger would look at me and think I had surgery. |

If I recall correctly, it was about 13,000, including surgery center fees and anesthesia. The procedure took about 4.5 hours. I just had a revision on the breast surgery, because built up scar tissue kept the implant from dropping into the right place and made them too firm. Doctor didn't charge me, so the price was just OR and anesthesia, about $ 2000. Kind of a drag, but I wanted them to be right after all the money spent. |
