9 Months PO after scar revision New Pics. FTT,LIPO, BA- Birmingham, AL

Well it has been a long time since I have been here. After about 7 months is when I noticed a difference in how much I was swelling though I was still swelling every evening. I am almost 9 months out now and I no longer swell at night or at all for that matter unless I exercise alot in one day. I have gotten back in the excersice routine and am proud to say I am now back to 149lbs. Last post I showed pictures of my dog ear and went back on Nov 5th for a simple removal and revision but once I got there Dr.H thought I would not get optimal results unless he went in and did some extra lipo around the incision area and I happily agreed. The problem was I had already eaten that morning no knowing I was having anything done so I could not be put to sleep :-/ Not even twilight sleep. I was given Demeral and Phenergan in two seperate shots. One in my arm and one in my hip and then lidocain shots at the revision spot and the lipo incision then they used the canula to inject the rest of the lidocain inside my stomach. This is the same method used to do smart lipo under local. Let me tell you this.....I have never been in so much pain in my life. It truely was almost unbearable to me and I would never ever choose to do that again. With the pain in the past I will say the lipo made a HUGE difference in the way the incision looks and there are no more pooches over my hip bones as before. My dog ear revision is still covered with tape and that will be there for about 3 weeks and I will post pics once it comes off and the swelling from the new lipo goes away. I can tell you ladies who are in the waiting that I can honestly look at myself in the mirror and be proud. I feel amazing and I get compliments all the time and we all know how good that feels to have someone notice the difference. This is the best decision I have ever made for myself and I am a new woman because of it.

I always think of things I wanted to say after I post...LOL. Forgot to mention I am still swelling almost everyday but the swelling in way less in size than it was last month. Also I am still numb from my BB down to incision and when I swell it feels tight there but not uncomfortable any more. I am also still sleeping in a sports bra everynight but no longer sleep in a CG unless I am swollen alot that night or I am going somewhere early the next morning because it really does make you look super skinny when you wake up. Last thing is I am still getting little sudden pains in my left breast. They are random and far between but still happening. Ok I think thats it ladies ;-)
