5 Months post op. New pic

Well it's been 5 months and I have to say I am very happy with the tummy tuck and breast lift I had done back in August. Just about a month ago is when I started to feel 100% meaning no pain around my scars or sore from using my stomach muscles. Still can't work my abs yet. Soon! I've have lost weight. Been hitting the gym pretty hard. The only negative I could say right now is the TT scar. I used silicone sheeting and silicone gel but is still pretty red. Not raised or anything so that's good. I could always tattoo over it but I'm going to wait until I'm a full year PO to make that decision. I hope everyone is healing nicely!!

So went to my 7 week PO appointment today and talked to him about everything I mentioned in my last post. He is willing to drop my scar down on the right side in another 4 months or so. My areola is not uncommon. He says he can take care of that too. As for my mons, he said there is swelling there since everything goes downward and that is the lowest point. Once everything settles, if I am still not happy he suggested lipo in that area. Don't know if I'm that obsessed with it or if I can live with it. We'll see. He said my TT scar is healing really nice. I took the time to make before and after side by side photos to remind myself how far I've come. I am so glad I did this. It was 100% worth it after seeing these side by side. Guess I just got so used to the new me that I forgot how the old me looked and felt naked. Whenever I'm down or am swollen, I will refer to these photos!!! :)

So I'm 7 weeks PO as of yesterday. Feeling pretty good. Back in Zumba class. Just not full throttle and won't be able to instruct again anytime soon. Swelling has become an issue. Probably due to increased activity and I don't think the spanx tank is doing sh*% so I've been wearing my binder more. I go to my PS this afternoon for a normal PO heck up. I have afew concerns. I don't know if you can see in the pic but my left breast I believe has "leftover" areola coloring right under my "new" areola. I had just a lift and it appears that when he moved my nipples and sutured the skin back together, some skin that he pulled was that of my areola. I will definitley be addressing that today. Also...my scar is nice and low (not as low as I'd like) on my left side but my right side is way different and too high. You can see in my pic sort of where I have the scar strip in place. Also there is some minor "bunching" towards the ends of the incision. Pretty normal I hear and will flatten but I'll ask him about that. OH!! And my mons is huge and puffy!! Really do look like a freaking ken doll!!! Just can't wait for all swelling to subside, to be able to work my abs and to feel 100% normal again! What a journey this is. So many ups and downs it's crazy! Well I hope everyone is well! I'll update soon! :)
