SO confused!! Need advice!!!
I am 28, 5'7" and my current weight is 173lbs. I am 2 years post op gastric bypass with a weight loss of 180 lbs. I've had two plastic consults in the last month. The first was reccomended by my rny doctor and the second was not reccomended, just a local plastic surgeon.
I am wanting brachioplasty, breast augmentation, and breast lift, as well as a tummy tuck.
Why am I confused? I've decided that a tummy tuck needs to wait because I eventually want more chikdren. The first surgeon quoted me $12,700 for breast aug., lift, brachioplasty. The second quoted $16,000 for the same approach by bothnsurgeons.
If I plan on having more children is a breast aug and lift worth doing now? Both doctors agreed that I have no more volume (fat) left to lose in my tummy and arms area.
In order to afford to do breasts and arms this summer I will have to sell our boat for around $7k and finance $5k.
Is it feasible to think I'll be happy with doing my arms alone this summer and waiting on breasts and tummy???

Personally, if I were having more children I would not have plastic sugery on my tummy or breasts.
How many more kids do you want to have? How long will that take you?
If you want the LONGEST LASTING RESULTS, I suggest you wait. And I'd probably wait on the arms too just because bundling surgeries can save you a bundle.
Good luck.

I also would wait. My fear would be if I had my breasts done first and a tummy tuck later that it would pull down on the lifted breasts. Also your breasts can go through a lot of changes during pregnancy and you could end up with results that you are not happy with. I never had much as far as breasts go until I got pregnant. After I gave birth I kept my newly increased breast volume.
