One Month, Two Days

  • Popular Post

Today, I am One Month, Two Days out from my Mommy Makeover (Tummy tuck, butt lift, fat transfer, LIPO, breast reconstruction, and lift, as well as augmentation) with Dr Niebles ( Neibles) in TJ Mexico.

This man is a miracle worker, and I feel like I am finally in the body that I was meant to be in my whole life!

I had my gastric sleeve May 15, 2012.

Lost my weight (110lbs) right away, and then stayed at my goal and held for 6 more months until May of this year, and booked my body reconstruction with not so high expectations of the outcome. Every day I look at my body and I can't believe that it's mine! I am finally in the body that I belong in! I am about 10 more lbs down. I could NOT be happier with my new body and my new LIFE!

New questions about the MM with Dr Niebles!!!

Thank you~ I will try to answer best I can for you~ Everyone is different though, and everyone's body is different, pain threshold, recovery time, Protein intake, etc......it's all different! So keep that in mind when asking others about personal stuff, I mean info about the Dr is usually accurate, and doesn't vary much......but other items DO vary! :-) If that makes sense!

You had a facelift and nose job~ I would not trust anyone to do my face so you are already ahead of me. My face is probably going to have to stay how it is, because I won't let anyone touch that! Again just a personal preference!

Was I ever awake?

Yes, again, things are going to vary, because my surgery took longer due to the condition of my breasts being so bad, and he was short one person in the OR, so my 8 hour surgery turned into a 12 hour, and I think they brought me in and out maybe to make sure I was okay, also I get sick under the anesthesia, so I think he brought me in and out so that I would not get so sick when I came awake at the end, and I didn't get sick at all this time. I did with the sleeve though.

Could I feel pain~

Yes, again, it will vary...everyone is DIFFERENT. I had a spinal I think in addition to the sedation they had me under, and the left side did not take, and every time I woke up, I could feel him sewing my left side up on my TT....I told him, and he went to the right side, and they put me back under, I think that happened like 3 times. It didn't freak me out like I thought it would, I was awake talking to the anesthesiologist (she was the only one in the OR that spoke English) and I would tell her to go tell my husband that I was okay, because I was due to be out of surgery hours ago, and I knew he was a crazy mess waiting for me (NO one spoke English at that clinic)....and coordinator was no where. (One of the reasons I would not suggest that particular clinic, but I swear by the DR himself!)

Are my nipples where I like and even~

Yes, look at the first post in my original post. You'll see how terrible my body was, how bad my measurements were off and you can see that things ended up right where they should be. I LOVE my new body. My nipples and breasts weren't exact when I started, and they are not exact now, but they are WONDERFUL and besides they are sisters, not TWINS! <3

Is my scar thin and small~

It fits under my skimpiest bikinis, and my skimpiest Victorias Secret panties and garters that I wear. So yes, I think it is great. BUT I stayed on a very high protein diet, and followed Drs orders to a T, and never cheated, kept it clean, didn't touch it, wore my compression garments, etc. I healed FAST, and he thought it was due to a good diet, and following orders as well as him doing a great job! So again, those things will vary person to person, EVERYONE scars SO DIFFERENTLY. :-) Mine fade, so I expect these will fade also. My breast scars are already nearly invisible. I was instructed not to use lotions, potions, all that crap, and I didn't, but I know MY skin, and again, I was faithful about doing what he suggested.

Pain, how was it?

Read through this post, and you will see about my pain...... search the lipo.....that was the killer for me, and the only place I still have pain! Not dreaded pain, not severe, but just a little when I sit for too long.

Girl, Dr Niebles' business is going to go through the roof with results like yours! Does he have a website? It's going to become difficult to get an appt. You may have said this already but, what was your total cost?

No he doesn't have a web site- they were working in it when he did my surgeries ;) I told him he really needs one ;)

My total cost was different than what most would be because I had some extras added into my cost. But for my breast reconstruction, implants, tummy tuck with full muscle corset repair, lipo from the backs of my shoulders down to my tush- then my fat reinjected back into my tush for my Brazilian Butt lift, (and my extras) it was under 9000.

Thank you- he does a great job- in my eyes he's an artist!

<3

WOW... WOW ...WOW... !! YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!! I have the exact same before pic! I would love to have your body now. I love the way the lift and implants turned out. I think your breast look natural. Can you tell me what size implant you had? Such a great job your Dr. did.

You should be happy :D You look Fabulous!!! :D

Thank you thank you thank you! I LOVE my new body! All if it- and mainly because it's so healthy now! But I do love my boobs the most! Okay maybe tummy too- but I love these boobs so much! The makeover was perfect for me- and that's who it was intended for- and I think Dr Niebles did a fabulous job with the mess I have him!

The implants I have are a specific kind- that I sought out- and they were placed a specific way- and there are so many variables on implants that no two ever end up being the same! Mine are 350cc gummy bear/cohesive gel implants that are harder to get in the states- you can get shaped ones so that you maintain that natural teardrop appearance- and I LIKE that a lot!

I rave about my boobs all the time! They were a huge part of me before I lost them- and they are a huge part of me now! I used to be a 44ddd now I am a 34ddd :-)

Here is me now in a promotional photo for a breast cancer awareness event at a photo studio
