Mommy Makeovers - Tricia
Q: Why did you have surgery?
Tricia: I had three awesome children very young and a not so awesome tummy to prove it. It didn't matter what I did, it wouldn't go away. So when Dr. Huffaker confirmed that thought I knew there was no turning back.
Q: What were your expectations?
Tricia: I don't know if I really had any. I would of been happy with any improvement although, if I knew what I knew now I would of done it years ago.
Q: Did having young children affect your decision?
Tricia: Well, my children aren't exactly young but they did affect my decision. All three of my teens are very fit and taller than me. Now I actually look like their mom. Also, I feel so much better about myself that I think my attitude even made me a happier mom.
Q: What was the recovery like?
Tricia: It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. There were a lot of things that factored into that though. I had a pain pump (which was awesome), Dr. Huffaker and Angie prepared me very well on what to expect, and I had the greatest caretaker. He followed Angies directions to a T. With a team like that I was back to work in approx. 3 weeks.
Q: Would you do it again?
Tricia: Yes, without a doubt!
Q: Can the kids tell a difference in mommy after surgery?
Tricia: I think so. The boys haven't said much. My daughter likes the fact we can share most clothes now.
Q: Would you recommend surgery to others?
Tricia: Absolutely! Surgery has changed my life in so many ways. It's such a personal decision that I would support a friend in whatever decision she/he would make.
Tricia had an extended tummy tuck, liposuction of her upper and lower back, lateral buttocks, inner and outer thighs, abdomen, hips and flanks.
