Scar progression

WORTH IT$12,000
Hello ladies, some of you have been interested in how my scars are progressing. I feel that my TT scar has gotten worse since my second surgery probably due to swelling; I have a "w" starting where before it was a thin straight line. I've attached a collage showing the day after, 1 mo, 1 1/2 mo, and at the 3 month mark. I've been using the Bio cream about once a day and while I like how smooth my scar is, I would like to see it fading more. Perhaps I should up it to twice a day? I wish my skin was less sensitive then I could us the strips which would be quicker! Any tips for supplements I could take in conjunction to the direct scar treatment? As for how my tummy feels, I have some days when my tummy is soft and flat and others when I feel a hardness between my belly button and sternum. Also, some days when my stomach feels normal again and others where i feel tightness and some numbness. I am going to use vela-shape to get rid of some cellulite on my legs and work on breaking down residual scar tissue. I hope you are all well and/or healing! A call out to Sissy48, thinking of you in these difficult time (hugs). cheers to all

Love the contour of your new body! Your bb looked awesome after the marble trick. Such an odd thing to think of doing.

I was afraid to use a marble (I thought it may never come out, so I used an earplug. Squish it by rolling it between your thumb and index finger, then insert. I find it easiest to do first thing in the morning as there is less swelling them.

I've been doing the silicone earplug too for less than a week and already it looks a nicer shape and is softer. You look fantastic and I can see that some of your incision has completely healed over too.

Your scar looks better to me! What is Vela-shape?

It's the only thing the FDA has approved to help cellulite reduction. It's pricey but they were running a special recently. So it is a machine that provides a combination of suction and infrared heat to reduce celulite over sessions. I am going for my first treatment today so I will create a new review just on this.

I go in Thursday afternoon this week! I decided on 550 HP smooth natrelle saline so hopefully that will balance out my hips without making me look matronly.

Your going to love your new boobies . 550cc saline will look great on you . What size are you now ? I was 34/c and with 420cc saline I went too a 34/DDD or E .

I am heavier than I want to be but am holding steady at around 153 and because I am not down to the 138 that I was at at the beginning of the year, I am a 36C pre op. I was hoping to be a 36D or 36DD when I am done healing. Do you think that is possible or will I be bigger? After I am done healing with this surgery, I do want to lose about 10 lbs and last time I did that I was a 36B, so I will lose some in my breasts. You look amazing by the way. I will possibly do a revision to gel if the salines do okay and my body doesn't reject them. I am so nervous that that may happen but hopeful that it wont.

I know right? Doc said there was no fat, it was all skin, (I can't comprehend that) it was easy to pull down tight and get rid of almost all of it, even more than he anticipated! Unreal.... My brain is still trying to process the whole thing...

Thanks so much! I am excited to get these thighs under control. They are recommending veleshape which is a type of massage 5 weeks or more after the process and they are going to give me 2 for free. It's supposed to help tighten the skin up and smooth out the skin, and break up scar tissue. I will have to see if I an get it on the thighs and flanks/hips.
September 26, 2013
Nice them to give you some for free! Prayers for you today!

I am so excited to share my one month results! I don't hacve befores From the doctors office yet so I just used mine as a side vby side comparison. I am still quite swollen below my belly button and in my flanks and hips. They told me that I should be thrilled by my 3 month appointment as much of the healing and swelling should resolve by then. I loved my results so much that I am having my thighs done when I get my BA; only; 3 days and a wake up!
