Sooo….. yea! Here we are! I feel better than ever (vlog is from December) and look forward to sharing the journey with you 💕 I share, because being authentic is very important to me, and of course, for my community. Support is always welcome, and if you are against cosmetic surgery, please know that you don’t have to watch or comment. I’m sure that the moms who get it, will get it! 💕
Cost: between $20-$30k
This will be a SERIES, so please stay tuned to each episode as I share more and more.
🙏🏾
That’s right! We get it ❤
I get it I have the same mine has taken 7 years with exercise to heal as they do not provide the operation in the uk 😩
Super excited for you and can't wait to see the "snatch." Hoping for a peek on Thursday. HAPPY HEALING my girl! 🙏🏾
As soon as I get my money up….I shall be 360-ing…same exact problem mommies face👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks for the education on the breast tissue I was wondering why my Breast Ultrasound begins by my underarms….never too old to learn
Mom of 4. If I could financially, I would. Do it boo!
Listen. I had this surgery in time to heal before my wedding and it was literally the best decision of my life!! Once you have a shower chair and a walker, you are as good as gold! I pray that you have an easy recovery in Jesus name ❤️
Community members how fast did you all click 😆😆😆
Right!
That text came through and the YT notification RIGHT after!
Real fast
my sister! 😅 heeee!
😂😂😂
I had surgery March 2022, mine was medically necessary, However I had a good surgeon so I asked him to fix whatever doesn’t look right.
I woke up in so much pain. But I was very comfortable. 6 weeks after, I looked so snatched and my clothes fit better and you feel better about yourself in general
Don’t let nobody make you feel bad about getting stuff done. It’s great you are doing it. You will feel amazing after.
I pray you get better results Mena.
Love this and thanks for sharing! I already feel amazing, so thank God! So glad you’re doing well!
Do you mind sharing the necessity? Trying to convince my doc . If I had a hernia I would have been able to get it done
Prayers up for a success surgery and speedy recovery!
What a class act. Such transparency. Praying for a safe recovery period.
Thank you so much!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your unapologetic authenticity and as a mom of 4 and almost 50 I get it. Kudos to you ❤
Hugs, Yolanda! In this day and age, we deserve!
All the best with your recovery! Been ready financially (not mentally 😢) to do this for two years now…just scared of the pain and peoples opinions…my tummy is as big as yours and I also have DR! So encouraged to see how others opinions don’t matter to you
Yes! I’ll be posting more videos in their series for people who are interested further in the entire process!
I think this is wonderful if this is what you want to do for you. Praying that all goes well and that there are no complications with this procedure.

Of course and you’re welcome!! I hear you on this, honestly! I was having some palpitations at the thought of posting this, but I’d rather be honest than live in a box because of what others think. Ima always do me, regardless -- so, glad to see a lot of support. Of course, that’s encouraging! Everyone should do what they feel is best for them. We don’t live for people. 😉🙏🏾💕
Wow, thanks for sharing Mena. It was very informative and thorough for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. Looking forward to the rest of the videos. You look amazing!
Thanks sis!
This video was posted just as i was doing research on getting a tummy tuck. I’m taking it as a sign. Cannot wait to see how your process went.

Congratulations!! Glad you're doing what will make you even happier with your body! Moms deserve!! 💃🏾 living vicariously through you as I'm still in the breastfeeding trenches 😂

Listen! I’ve been doing well at staying off of social media for the month of January, but. When I received this text and the title, I just HAD to break that fast just for this series though! 😂 Can’t wait to catch-up on all other and missed videos once I fully return! 🤎

Happy Beautiful Tuesday!
I hadn't watched yet, but just by the title... Feel better with YOU.... Advocate for Happiness 🥰
Yes! Thank you!
Whatever makes you happy do that❤. Based on your IG video this morning you look great 💗. Your doc did a great job.
Thank you so much!!
Good for you Mena...im happy that you are happy and doing what's adding to your happiness 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Love from my end 🤗 🤗 🤗 and ❤.
I am happy you are able to get this done. As a mom of two and dealing with the body changes, even with exercise and dieting I would get a 360 if I can, when I can too. Thanks for sharing.
Listen!! You deserve!
Praise God for the ability to do this. Do you fran.
That’s EXACTLY WHAT I WANT DONE Sis!!!! Being a mom just does a number on our bodies 😩😩😩. You look BOMBBB
Listennnnnnnn! Thanks sis
Good for you! It’s hard fixing areas affected by past pregnancies like breasts and mid-section. And the corrections for those have the least risks not involving insertion. You went about it thoroughly and logically.
Thanks sis!
Do what makes you happy 😊 excited
Congrats Mena!Do you. Can't wait to see your results.
Thank you!!
Speedy recovery Mena! I also have the little breast tissue pocket that is annoying.
Thanks love! Oh, I know! It’s fine now, so glad about it. I thought I was stuck with it for life!
You do what you want with your body ! I'm happy for you !! 😍😍
Thank you 💕
Praying for a safe and healthy recovery! I have been thinking of getting a breast lift. Sending positive vibes your way.
Thank you so much, I’ll be talking more in depth in the videos to come!
Hi Mena! I’m new to your page; and probably would be considered your Auntie as I’m in my mid 50’s. Thank you for this valuable information & transparency! Be blessed.
Welcomeeeee 💕
Wow! Congrats!! Praying you have a speedy recovery and bless the hands on the entire medical team from beginning to end. Hold up!? Did you have the procedure already??I have that exact back pillow. You will love it!
Thank you! Yes! A month ago!
I’m happy for you ❤
Here for the series❤
Thank you for sharing
I’m excited for you and this journey ❤
Thank you so much 💕
Mom of 2 here! My oldest is 22. If I had the funds please believe I would too! Congrats sis! Can't wait to see your results! 🤗
I hear you, sis💕💕
Sometimes a factory reset is needed, go you for putting yourself first and doing something you want. Not always easy when you’re a wife and mum ❤
Absolutely! 💕
Congratulations 🎊 for choosing yourself! 👏 Bravo. And dueces to anyone who has anything negative to say.
Yassss!
Happy Tuesday Mena, First and foremost How are you doing and how are you feeling now? I'm glad that you did this for yourself, We love you so so much ❤❤❤ Sending lots of love 🤎🤎🤎🤎 and can't wait for the next video in this series
Hey boo! Feeling amazing! Still numb in some areas, but have healed smoothly! Can’t wait to share more
Congratulations sister I happy for you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much!
I'm sorry excited for you. I actually just got my surgery date for my tummy tuck in April.
Woohooo! So excited for you!
Good for you. Amen
May your surgery be a Success.
Speedy recovery and great outcomes.. I’m hoping I hit the lotto so I can get the same thing too. My first breast surgery was 20 years ago so it’s time to lift them up . I have the same issue with the top of my breast too..
Ahh I hear you! Did you have implant put in? I’ve always wondered what the lifespan on that was.
I couldn’t get an implant put in at the time (big C) but the lifespan is usually 20 years or more depending on the type of implant.
You can do the lift without the implant so that’s what I’ll have to do.
I'm so glad I found your video. I will be having my tummy tuck and 360 lipo with Dr.Sato next month.
No way! Stop it! I am hoping the best for you. You have to DM me and let me know how things are going. I am so excited for you!
You are amazing and very raw. I love that. I am a mother of 3 boys, a healthcare provider, and also from Ghana 🇬🇭 😀, hey sis. I have thought of all the of those insecurities as well. I would love to get the 360 and the breast lift cause sis, I am a DDD and also breastfed my kids. You are my inspiration. Love ❤️
Yesss! I completely understand!
I'm so so happy for you Mena❤️ You literally described my body shape🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Aaw twins!
I have it too😭 my girls are 5 now and I'm ready to do the repair & tuck!
Honeyyyyyyy!
Thank you for this!!!
You're so welcome!
I’m so early!!!🎉
Thanks so much for this information. I’ve had this condition for 16 years. I’m finally going to go to my doctor to ask about it this Friday. So Sick of my patients asking me if I’m pregnant. X
Sis, my heart goes out to you. We deserve!
I wanna have the same surgery. After 2 cesarean my stomach is done and my boobs. I’m so over it. I’m saving up to get it. It’s so expensive over here in Canada. Your gonna look amazing after. Speedy recovery. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks sis and you’re right! A huge investment and I’m glad I could afford it! Thank God!
I had this done back in 2017 six months having my daughter. The only reason I knew what it was (after feeling things weren’t right) was seeing blogs by white women. We don’t usually speak about it in the black/brown community because most of think this is how we are supposed to look. Anywho, best decision ever outside of my breast reduction. I had to do it or else it would have been permanent. Anywho, blessings on your journey.
Wow! You’re right and so happy you did what was best for you!
I’m so happy for U….🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much!
I love this for you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing ❤❤
I love this 💖
Thank you!
Happy Tuesday
I had weight loss surgery last year and lost 100 lbs! I want a arm lift, tummy tuck and Lipo ❤ your body is gorgeous
Yassss! You go girl!
Good for you! Thanks for sharing. I am contemplating having Liposuction as well (maybe). You were saying that you have to get massages. I was listening to your video while I was driving, so I am sure that I missed it. But why is the massage necessary?
Yes, exactly! To help lessen the inflammation! Helps to mold the body too. Painful on the beginning and that’s also expensive. I’ve had prob 15-20 massages already and counting
Wow…
Gurrreel my bday is July 19th!!! The best!!!
When you described your breasts, you described mine to A Teee!!! Also a breastfeeding mama! Thank you so much for your transparency! Wishing you well!!
Listennnn girl you’re not alone!
Quick 😂😂😂😂
You are so funny. 😂😂
Hi Mena, do you for sure😍🙌🏽.. a question tho, how does this procedure affect you wanting more children in the future?
Hey! Thanks sis! Well… not ideal, as a correction may be required for those that do get pregnant afterward.
Gurrrrl....I'm so happy you're doing YOU... 🙂
Thank you!!
💙💙
