MY MOMMY MAKEOVER STORY
HELLO, I’M A PATIENT OF DR. GABRIEL MECOTT OF THE MOMMY MAKEOVER PROCEDURE IS VERY GRATEFUL FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND ABOVE ALL IT SERVES YOU AS A REFERENCE AND ENCOURAGE.
PART 1
I tell you that in just a week I will be entering the operating room, to perform a Mommy Makeover, I will not deny that I feel nervous, after all it is not something every day to put yourself in the hands of a surgeon to repair the damage that he pregnancy has left in your body.
I was not always enthusiastic about plastic surgery, on more than one occasion I was detractor and I judged acquaintances who according to me had taken the “easy route”.
But after having a twin pregnancy, I was able to understand that it is difficult to live with the “war scars” that motherhood can leave on the body and even more on self-esteem.
For more diet and exercise, there is a part of my abdomen that simply does not respond, it is like when a rubber band is overstretched and is permanently watery.
Here are some photos of how I am today. As you can see, I was left like a little balloon that despite adding the belly, it is still there without responding, my navel expanded so much that it seems to have a hernia, if I do sit-ups I can put up to 4 fingers in a kind of groove that my muscles form abs that were separated.
BREAST ENLARGEMENT? WHY NOT, IF WE ARE ALREADY IN THIS.
Also, as you can see, I do not have (nor have I had) much bust, so I am going to take advantage of the occasion and increase my size!
To decide the size of the breast implant, Dr. Gabriel Mecott uses a trial prosthesis that with the help of a tight top gives you a very good idea of the correct size, of course, before he asks you what is the ideal you are looking for.
Curiously, ALL of us ask that they look natural, but an anatomical or drop-shaped prosthesis, will not give volume on the upper part as most expect, in my case I am between the 335 ml and the 355 ml round implant not with much projection to the front but a little wider.
Liposculpture
Dr. Gabriel Mecott will also do liposuction on my waist and thighs and will relocate the fat where it is needed, in my case, the bottom. The truth is I always considered myself to be a good butt but after seeing an angle in the photos of the date, I realized that I might need volume in the upper part of the buttock to improve my “derriè”
I am very excited, literally this coming year I will be releasing a new figure. After the first week I will be sharing with you my progress, feelings, if it hurts a lot, etc. the idea is that they have a very clear idea of the whole process.
PART 2
Today is exactly one week since my Mommy Makeover surgery with Dr. Gabriel Mecott from NuBody, I will tell you how it has been.
I take a parenthesis to tell you that for 2 months before the surgery I was doing the NuBody Challenge so that I could have more “skin” to cut and less fat to suck and that the 3 procedures I had were the same day.
Day 1 – The one with the surgery. 6 hours of fasting and all the courage possible. It was a somewhat long surgery but I obviously didn’t even realize it, in fact when I woke up I was very nice and talkative, no post-anesthesia tremor, no desire to vomit, I was not even thirsty, that night you can have something light for dinner.
Day 2 – Coming home day, basically lying down, but I was able to climb the ladder and go to the bathroom all hunched over and very slowly. The truth is that blessed drugs, they make you feel the best, zero pain, if perhaps the position you should have was the uncomfortable one, which is basically almost sitting so as not to stretch the newly stretched abdomen. Oh and the drains, those are a show, more than painful they are uncomfortable and you have to do a daily count of the amount of fluids.
For this day I already had a private nurse to help me with the drains and pamper me, hahaha, well the truth is that they can intimidate many and what better than to have someone used to those things.
I’m not going to lie, if it is very uncomfortable to have a drain in the tailbone, not being able to bathe, after a while the back also hurts, I imagine that from the position in which all your weight falls on the waist and for this day you start to feel a little pain as if you had done a lot of exercise in the lipo areas, like a lot of sensitivity in the skin.
Day 3- Appointment with doc. After Doc. Gabriel Mecott reviewed me, he removed one of the most uncomfortable drains that is the tailbone, which made it difficult for me to rest completely well, there were only two drains left that compared to the one mentioned above are nothing. That same day, Doctor Gabriel gave me the green light to bathe.
And since the truth is I already wanted to bathe, the odyssey did not seem so bad, yes they have to help you, yes you have to bathe sitting down, it does hurt everything when they remove your girdle and you may feel a little dizzy, very similar to the first bath after of the cesarean section. The indication was to rest and continue counting the amount of fluid in the drains, which in sum must be less than 75ml.
Day 4- Along with day 3, one of the heaviest, since now the body feels like 20 of everything that was removed, aspirated, pulled and cut. But with plenty of rest, Netflix and pain relievers, it goes away relatively quickly.
That and continue counting the drains so they can be removed as soon as the goal with the lowest count is reached. I slept better but I was already hallucinating the drains.
Day 5- Without much news, I am still at rest, I have already seen all series that had truncations, some movies and I am getting a horrible craving to feel so incapacitated, but I remind myself that we have to take advantage and sleep as much as possible, in the end I do not I can waste that I hired a nurse and they are taking care of the children.
As for the pain, it still bothers me to run my hand over the lipo areas, some tremendous bruises began to appear, they recommend that I take arnica pills and the nurse gives me arnica tea fosters when I bathe.
The discomfort of the tummy tuck is that I can’t stand up straight or stretch, basically that part of my body is asleep, like when I had a cesarean section. From breast augmentation, ZERO discomfort, I don’t know if my body is focused on other pains or what but really no discomfort.
Day 6- At last the fluid count in the drains decreased by 75 ml in 24 hours, Doc Mecott gives me an appointment in the afternoon to remove the drains. And I don’t need my beloved nurse anymore.
Day 7 – The absence of the drains is really wonderful, I can even try to sleep a little on my side, because my back is killing me.
By the way, every day the pain in the skin of the lipo area is less, I am with many bruises and my abdomen is still inflamed, but what can I expect after having 3 surgeries on the same day!
I share photos with you, the truth is I did not want to take photos with the drains so as not to scare me. These are from day 6, my nurse took them, so I ask you to understand if they are not the super photos. Very soon I will share the photos and the review of the appointment of the 8th, which is when the points will be removed.
PART 3
Well, I already went to have the stitches removed, this was on the 8th, I am not going to lie, I keep walking half stooped and slowly, I still have a lot of bruises but with the arnica pills they are fading relatively quickly.
It didn’t hurt at all to have the stitches removed, it literally hurt me more to take off and put on the girdle for the process, since it is very tight and my body is still inflamed.
At home I am still unable to carry heavy things and calculating each movement so as not to strain my abdomen, every day I sleep better and it is amazing how every day the pain turns into just annoyance.
BUST INCREASE 10 DAYS LATER
I am somewhat traumatized by the size of my breasts, from having “freckles” for breasts to having volume, if I feel very leafy, Doc Gabriel Mecott, assures me that in 6 months I will be sorry for not having put on more, I hope So be it.
My abdomen is still swollen in what I imagine is still the natural post-op repair process. I know that time is very important to see the final results, it is also too early to really appreciate the benefits.
Of course, I already have the waist that I have NEVER had and the curve of the buttocks at the hip is very father, very feminine.
I’d better pass the photos to you so you can see, don’t be scared, I still have a lot of bruises and the “cut” looks big, but it doesn’t hurt at all, I have that entire area of the abdomen asleep. I have a decent belly button again.
Liposculpture, tummy tuck and breast augmentation 10 days after surgery.
I have an appointment, a month after the surgery, I will share photos with you so you can see the progress.
I know I still look like the Bride of Frankenstein but I’m sure the results will be great. Of course, you have to eat a balanced diet to avoid recovering the “fat” that hurts so much to be sucked out.
Part 4
31 days have passed since the surgery, it is incredible how quickly time passes.
I tell you that I already lead a totally normal life, of course without making a lot of effort or carrying heavy things, I no longer have bruises although I still have sensitive parts of my body where the liposculpture was performed.
As of today I can say that I have 7 cm less waist, a flat abdomen and I am a size C cup. I cannot be happier with the result.
Dr. Gabriel Mecott tells me that I still need to deflate completely, which means that if I continue to watch my diet and do moderate exercise, I will look even more stylized.
In my total experience, I tell you that if you can do this Mommy Makeover, it will change your life, I feel great, very happy to have encouraged me and I don’t even remember if I suffered a lot or not the first two weeks, I see it so far.
Also some recommendations:
1. Eating a healthy diet and life increases the chances of being able to do the greatest number of procedures in the same operation. So bye cigars and welcome greens.
2. Yes, ask for at least 15 days of vacation. I asked for 2 and a half weeks and I can say that I was still walking slowly and was somewhat hunched over, by the third week I was almost as if nothing.
3. Of the 3 procedures, breast augmentation was the most comfortable, you can almost have surgery on a Friday and go to work on Monday as if nothing else. Abdominoplasty is very similar to cesarean section, in not carrying heavy things and walking slowly, in the end the entire area remains asleep. The liposculpture, that did bother me more, if it hurts but nothing that cannot be borne, but it hurts.
4. As you have to literally live with the post-operative girdle day and night, I recommend buying 2, since it cannot be put in the dryer. Those that are after the operation have a closure on the sides and can drain a little, after 3 weeks you can use one without closure that is more comfortable to use but more painful to put on. In total I bought 3.
5. Despite the fact that the girdle has a large hole through which you can go to the bathroom and all without dirtying it, I recommend performing your operation just after your menstrual period so that you will be more recovered when you return and have more practice with the girdle.
And well this is my story, I hope it has been helpful.
