Any one had both tummy tuck and boob lift done at the same time ?
Was it brutal ?! Did you feel a million dollars afterwards?! Any one regretted it ?
Have finally finished my family (five)! and i want to feel happy running about naked (as you do) again ! Grin

How old are your DC's? I thought about considering it but was put off by the recovery and having to look after x4 under 10's. I'm just not sure I'd be left alone long enough to recuperate.

I had just a tummy tuck when my twins were about 4. The down time was a lot less & easier than when I had c-section. I had my dp to help but I had about a week bed time then gentle pottering about. I couldn't say on a boob job also but I cant imagine it would add anything to the pain/discomfort as you would be in bed the first week anyway.
I say go for it; best thing I ever did!

Yes! Same as you I've finished my family (4dcs) I'm 11 days post op and it's not been as bad as I was expecting but the tummy tuck was only skin, not muscle and that makes all the difference. I had a full tummy tuck after the first 2dcs and that took much more recovery as you use your tummy muscles for everything! I'd say be realistic about your expectations, my tummy will never be totally smooth but I am very, very happy with my new boobs! My youngest is 16m and I've been able to lift him (carefully) after a week.

ooooh thanks for the replies :)
great to know pple are happy with the results. Ive got a couple more months before my youngest turns one, then my understanding is that i need to wait a few more months (of no breastfeeding) before getting it done. My children are all pretty young (had three of them in four years)! But will have lots of help to recover and recuperate.
Do you mind if i ask whether those of you who had it paid cash or did it on finance ?

i'm going to need my stomach muscles wired shut (Eeeek)! But i had one section, so i'm not a stranger to post op agony !

Just be aware that it's a much greater incision than a section though! Some tips if you go ahead, do NOT get constipated! Prevent trapped wind by drinking peppermint tea, that can be more painful than anything else! Take your painkillers regularly for a couple of weeks even if you feel okay, especially anti inflammatory ones. Use a good surgeon obviously, it's worth it. I paid about £10k (cash 😩) Remember the results aren't guaranteed and that looks aren't everything. I like my new boobs but they're not going to change my life!
