Sorry for not updating in a while. Had issues with my health, job, kids, etc..... but I thought Id find the time to let you all know how i'm doing these days..
As for the tummy tuck, overall, I guess i'm happy, now that I look back at my pre-surgery photos, I do notice a difference in my silhouette.. my tummy is definitely flatter which I enjoy, but i'm not crazy about the scar.
From what I understand, I didn't have enough loose skin above my belly to pull down low enough to give me a lower scar.. unless I wanted a vertical scar as well....
The scar faded pretty good I think, but it still peeks out above even modest panties, unless I hike them up pretty high....
also, underneath my scar, there seems to be two marble sized hard areas of tissue that i'm worried about.... is it fat necrosis, adhesions, tumors??
maybe a scar revision should be considered.. what do you guys think>>>
as for the bbl, I think I have more volume to my butt, but I think its still kinda square and not rounded enough but maybe I expected too much....
I also think my hips look too wide now, and im collecting fat above my bra line which I hate!! There are some uneven areas from the lipo, I noticed some ripples in my abs when I bend over or sit, and my inner thighs are slightly uneven.......
i'm not sure what to think....
my children's father tells me that he thought I looked better before the surgery, and that my scar is hideous, and my overall shape looks too 'fake' and my butt looks weird.
As you can imagine, that damages my self esteem.
Ill let you guys look at my recent pics, and appreciate any honest input or feedback. Hope you all are doing well!!!
As for the BBL pics, its hard to take pics of my backside by myself, so this is all I have, but if I find someone to take better pics, I will post them!

Again, i apologize for the negativity in my post. But, apparently I just feel dissatisfied. I hope my opinion changes?

Hi hun ,
I just started posting Here but have been following your story for awhile and remember being so worried about you. I was 2 seconds from punching your ex in the nuts for the way he treated you! But I digress. I think you look great honestly. Would you have wanted a bigger butt? Your results look natural and your tummy is amazing! Looks like you went ham in the gym. I was so excited to see an update but a little sad that you don't like your results after you've been through:-( keep your head up and always keeping you in my prayers.

You are definitely being too hard on yourself. I do see a difference. You look so much better in the after shots. Your butt is looking very nice. I get your point about the high scar. Have you tried to talk to your PS about this? Any chance for a revision? I have some issues with my scar as well. Just today I was trying on some bikinis and the scar was peeking through :-( This means I can't wear the skimpy bikinis... what was the point??!! Try and talk to your PS, there may be some options.
As for the lumpiness on the scar itself, have you tried the tummy massages? I have been doing them and they have worked wonders for me. At first my scar was hard and lumpy and after a few massages, it went away. I still feel something, but not as lumpy as it was before. You probably just need to break up some of the scar tissue.
Hang in there.

honestly, u dont look bad outside of the scar. i was wondering why the tt scar is so high. i have a csection scar and hope that if one day i get a tt they can use that scar. my obgyn did a great job with that incision so i definately have to make sure the doctor reuses it. i have had work in the past done by dr salzhauer and that seems very weird. in the meantime your butt looks good. cheer up hun

btw use a silicone based scar gel to smooth out the tummy tuck scar and use mederma to try and fade or lighten it. hope this helps

Hey everybody! Sorry for taking so long to post...
Hey everybody! Sorry for taking so long to post but life got in the way. I'm not sure how I feel about my results. My abdomen still swells a lot, my scar is too high to hide under anything but granny panties! :(
Also, the scar is lumpy and swollen and makes a "ridge" dividing my upper and lower abs. Is this normal????? Also I can still feel stitches just underneath my skin. It's annoying.
As for the butt lift, I don't know if I see much difference. I think it shrunk and doesn't have the shape I wanted. Also, I don't think he did enough lipo above my bra line. My armpit/ upper back area is so flabby. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself. I dunno. I'll post some pics. Maybe y'all can give me some input? Thanks!!!
