Yesterday I was looking through some of my old photos that my best friend Carly took of me when she was first getting into photography. I was completely shocked at how much my body has changed in just 5 short years. Of course during these 5 years I got pregnant, breastfed and became a stay at home mom and all three of these things combined have definitely taken it’s toll on my body. With my 31st birthday only a month away I have been toying with the idea of having a few nips and tucks here and there to get my body back to the way it was before I had kids. I am pretty sure that we won’t be having any more kids so I would love to get rid of that extra muffin top that I have been carrying around and have often wondered how much would a tummy tuck cost?
The picture above is one that was taken a few months before I got pregnant with Aubrey. Little did I know that this would be one of the last times I would fit into these shorts..sigh! A few of my friends have actually had plastic surgery so it makes me feel better to talk with someone who has actually experienced something like this first hand. One of the ideas that we talked about was how some people turn their surgery into a mini-vacation and choose to go out of state to have their procedures done. This is actually not a bad idea especially if you can find a highly qualified and recommended surgeon. It’s easy to do a search online you just choose which state or location you would like and search, so if your looking for a doctor in Arizona you would just search for plastic surgeon in Arizona.
I haven’t made any definite decision on what I would like to do or not because surgery is surgery, you have to know all of the risks and benefits of a procedure. But it’s nice to know my options just in case.
