Not As Scarry As I Thought :0) - Newport Beach, CA

UPDATED FROM Pretty_Chely

Two years after TT

WORTH IT$7,500
It's been two years exactly since my tummy tuck and I couldn't be happier. My tummy is still really flat and I still have my curves =) The only thing I was unhappy with was my scar, which my friends claimed didn't look bad, but it just bothered me. It was light in some areas, but really dark (almost burgundy) in some. I tried Bio Oil, Cicatricure and Mederma without any success. I decided to have a tattoo to cover the ugly beast... I'm so happy I did that. I am now more confident and can totally floss my belly without being worried.

It looks great!! I'm glad your happy with your result...
Thank you Yu_Ya... I feel awesome and like a teenager again!!
How long did you wait to get the tattoo??? Btw u look awsome
@sexybrunnette907 I waited 1 year and 9 months exactly. I figured this was long enough to have healed and for the ugly beast to have somewhat erased. My tattoo artist said I would be fine. Thank you =) I feel awesome!
@sexybrunette907 sorry for the late late reply... I waited 2 years before I did my cover up. I was hoping that my scar would lighten a little and I wouldn't have to cover it but it didn't so I decided to just go for it! =)
Did you do your tattoo in Orange County? It looks so good :-)
@MommyoftwoDR No I didn't have it done In OC. I had it done in Carson Ca - Lifestyle Tattoos. He's done several TT coverups so I let him decide what to do. He gave me the idea of the whole flower and bird theme. Dino is the Artist name =)
@MommyoftwoDR No, I had it done in Carson, Ca at Lifestyle Tattoos =) Artist name is Dino!
You look do good! I hope my results are good top!!!! Love the tattoo!!

It's been 9 months since my surgery and whoa......

It's been 9 months since my surgery and whoa... time flies!! I'm still at my 128 lbs. my scar is so much lighter in some places. I have mostly all my sensation back yay!! I tried doing sit ups the other day and it caused a little discomfort but other than that I am truly amazed at my results, I feel sexy, young and most of all I'm super confident about my body. Now I'm looking into having breast augmentation =) I can't wait!!

You look beautiful!!

still lookin good!!!
did u do anything to ur belly button it looks nice!!!very natural
Thanks Lil Gigi :) No I didn't do anything to it :) When I first had my consultation that was one of my main concerns. My Dr. assured me that my belly button would look natural since he was doing a new technique where he would make it look more natural.
You look AMAZING! Glad it was an easy process for you. I am surprised that sit ups caused discomfort this far down the road, but I guess that makes sense. Did you have muscle work done as well or just skin? I work out regularly and not being able to do that is tough. I feel yucky, when I should be feeling sexy because my tummy looks so much better! Lol, figures! I had complications, so I am nowhere near even being able to walk on a treadmill, but the time will come.
u look awsome keep us posted im 8 weeks in and love seeing my body change everyday :)

It has been 6 months since my surgery and I feel amazing. I have dropped down from 135lbs (day after my surgery) to 128lbs. I don't know if the sweeling had anything to do with it. I love my results, I'm starting to get my sensation back around my belly button and my tummy is flat as a board.

Wow! You look beautiful. Who was your surgeon, if you don't mind me asking? I've looked at a few surgeons in Newport Beach..just trying to do all the research I can to get results like yours :)
Thank you so much. I feel like a teenager again. I went to Dr. Ali Sajjadian in New Port Beach. He's an amazing Dr. My little sister just had breast augmentation on Feb 3rd and looks gorgeous.
You look great!! I have a similar body shape. Can you recommend the DR. you went too?
