    I just had a friend who had both done on Friday and she felt great! She has actually stopped her medication today. I had mine seperate only because I wanted another child and had my tummy tuck after. You just have to take it easy for a while, I don't see a problem having both done at the same time, you are on meds only one time and your down time is the same :wink:

    A local plastics office here does what they call a mommy makeover, which is exactly what you are talking about. I have heard that the recovery isn't tht much longer than just getting your tummy done.

    I think both together should be fine. It's fairly common to have them done together.

    Tummy tuck feels like you did tons of sit ups and boobs feel like your milk came in after you gave birth and someone is sitting on them. It is uncomfortable but not unbearable. It might take you a little longer to workout, you may just be able to do treatmill and walking. I could not do any situp type workouts for 2 years after my tummy tuck :wink:

    I had a tummy tuck and a reduction 3 wks apart. I was on the treadmill again slowly a week out. (TT first) I wanted mine done together but because I was getting most of the reduction covered I had to have that done in a hospital, and hospital wait times area WAY longer especially if you want to do them together. The surgical centre where I had my TT done was awesome! Highly recommend that route!

    The worst part of the tt was the second day when the block wears off and it feels like your abs are "killing" as if you are stuck in a crunch FOREVER! lol but after that it gets better in a few days. Everyone's pain tolerance is different, and everyone heals differently. You have to listen to your body and go at yours and your Dr's decided pace after.

    Hi, thanks for sharing your information. I was wondering how was your experience with a breast reduction? I´m 22 years old but feel I have bigger boobs for my body and it´s very uncomforable at times. I get a lot of back pain and I just feel like they´re weighing me down literally. I´ve been trying the diet thing and honestly nothing is changing up there. I´ve done a bit of research for about a year or 2 and feel like I think it´s time to do a consultation. I´m just worried about after the procedure and if there is bad scarring or sensitivity. I would like to get someone who´s had the experience. Also did you have to pay out of pocket or did your insurance help. I´m going to look into my insurance and see if they cover stuff like this but I´m not sure.

    Thanks

    Sign me up for both!! I would love to have both done as soon as the weight comes off. My SIL had a tummy tuck on December 23rd....was out of it for 3 days but had a New Year's Eve party and looked great. She is sooooo happy she had it done and began walking 2 weeks post surgury.

    I can't wait to have the mommy makeover!

    I had a breast reduction five years ago and it was the best thing I have ever done! Two kids later, they still look good!

    Tummy tuck is in a few years when I can afford it!
