almost 6 months PO

I have no new pics to post but everything is healed up very nicely. The open incision under my right breast is completely closed and a dark pinkish purple color. My breasts are symmetrical and soft, with a nice shape and natural feel to them!
My abdomen is flat! My TT scar has healed great, nice and flat, narrow and placed to be hidden under my bikini.
I am ready to go for my consult about lipo for my upper arms. Now that the rest of me is smaller my arms feel huge! I know lipo won't give me skinny arms, but and inch or two off the circumference would allow me to wear shirts without feeling like they are so tight on my arms. Watching what I eat and lifting light weights has helped me feel better and stronger but not given any dramatic results.

Wound closing up nicely

Well just as my PS told me my wound would heal from inside out, skin is beginning to contract and the wound is much smaller. No more complications, and actually going to Wisc Dells to a water park! Taking a transparent dressing kit to keep the water away from clean wound. Look great in my bikini, early in the day my lipo swelling is nil, but as the day progresses so does my swelling.
However, even with some swelling I still look great, MUCH improved from before my surgeries!!

Dr Gutowski gave me an honest appraisal during my consultation of what he felt he could realistically do to give me the best results possible. I felt him to be honest, competent and personable. He has years of experience and is a very skilled surgeon. He answered all my questions, returned all my emails promptly and assisted with extra forms for work/FMLA. I feel he is an excellent surgeon and though still early I see dramatic results that are only going to improve with additional healing time. I'm very satisfied and will be returning to him in the fall for upper arm lipo. I recommended him to my mom for her arm lift.
