“Breast Augmentation and Abdominoplasty - Fort Myers, FL”

I do I will repose them. I had implants before too

Well you look great and your results are making me more excited and anxious to get my surgery! Did u get silicone or saline? And how much?

Thanks! I feel great too! I'm just using regular lotion on my skin. lol. My surgeon is having me wear mefix tape over my incision for 3 months, 2 more to go! I wear it for 4-5 days then change it again. I kind of like having it on. It is to achieve optimal scar healing. As for thinking about doing the stomach and breasts separately, I did mine together and I'm SO glad I did. I know how I am, and if I didnt get my stomach done I wouldn't have been completely happy. My results improve everyday, and I'm thrilled! As for the swelling, I was at first of course, but over the past two weeks it has dramatically improved everyday. Maybe my trick is that my surgeon told me I could wear spanx at two weeks, but I am still wearing my actual stage 1 binder everyday while awake. I really think that has made a HUGE difference in flattening everything back out. ( I personally recommend wearing it for the full 6 weeks) =) It's so cool because 4 weeks ago my binder was closed more towards the middle of my stomach, and now I have to cinch it like a corset, that's how much the swelling has gone down. As for bruising I had very minimal bruising, and it was only right above my butt from the liposuction to my flanks. It was gone at 2 weeks post op. I was surprisingly calm the closer to my surgery I got, maybe you will be too. ;) As for me, this surgery even this early has completely exceeded my expectations going into this. I have to small children, and one is still an infant, and I could do this, the pain for the first two weeks can be described as tightness for me, more than anything it drove me nuts that I couldn't stand up straight. Then all of a sudden at 2.5 weeks along, it was like someone flipped a switch and I was back to normal. I still took it easy with lifting and things, until 3 weeks, but now I'm back to my normal walking and lifting and carrying the baby, and I couldn't be more happy. =) Take care and good luck, and if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Thanks...I feel the same way. I was at first just getting my breast done but I decided a week ago to have a TT Also. I knew I wouldn't be happy with my body unless I did. I'm taking a cruise in May for my bday...I hope I don't be swollen still.

Msmomof2- Thank you! You will be fine! My 5 year old was a major help afterwards. My husband stayed home with us for 10 days, and I couldn't have done it without him. It is honestly just hard to do the little things for the first week or so. Just getting up and walking is a daunting task at times during that period. Energy levels will be low, so expect to get tired easily for the first week and a half or so.. Sorry but I wish someone would have told me that! The hardest thing for me during the first 2 weeks was not being able to hold my baby! It really made me sad, but honestly that was the worst part! You don't have to worry about that because your children are older. =) It's not a terrible recovery, and time will fly after the first two weeks. Things were just hard at first because of everything being so taut and not being able to stand straight really stunk. But trust me it was like night and day after like day 15. Everything was better, and energy levels were back up and feeling sorry for myself went away. =) Just make sure you have ample help around the house with the kids for atleast a full week. Just rest, stay positive, hydrate, and eat well! And you will feel better much sooner. ;) I am 5 weeks post op today and I feel so good! I am loving myself more and more everyday which is a great feeling afte being so self concious for so long. Good luck and please keep me updated on your recovery. ;)

Thank you so much! I really couldn't be happier. My expectations were blown out of the water. It's so good for it all to be over with now! =)I will post pictures of my incision next time I change my tape, probably in another 3 days. I know it was helpful for me to see other womens progress.

It is extremely helpful!! Your incision looks very low. I like that a lot! I have discussed it with my PS and he said he will do it very low for me but I might have a slight verticle scar. I am fine with the verticle I just don't want the scar too high because I prefer low rise jeans/pants. :)
My expectations are realistic but I am hoping to be blown away too!!

I really didn't have that high of expectations because I too thought that I was going to have a vertical scar, so I wasn't thrilled with the idea, but I was hoping the end result was still better than what I had, if that makes sense.. My scar is VERY low, I brought in a bikini bottom the morning of surgery and so he knew I wanted it below that. (It's a low rise from Victoria's secret) hehe... I ended up NOT having a vertical scar! And the only thing I have is a little pink scab like mark just above my incision directly in the middle from where I had my belly button pierced when I was younger, and the hole was stretched out, instead of leaving the old piercing in place he did something to it, and whatever it was worked! I will post pics tomorrow to show you. I'm SO glad everything turned out the way it did. I am thrilled. How is everything going with you soon2banewm?

I had one as well, and it was on my left side like right at the end of my incision for my tummy tuck. you cannot even tell I had a drain, there is no scar from it because he put it right where my incision already was. When it was removed the nurse placed a steri strip over the hole, and it closes completely within 24 hours per my PS. I just took my tape off of my incision tonight when I got out of the tub, and I will take photos in the morning of my incision after all of the marks from the tape are gone. lol. =)

Thanks Bridg! lol we do?! That's funny, god I hated those things. haha.. Umm they were mentor, I think they are smooth moderate plus profile. Mine were 400 cc implants filled to 480cc, and they are nice and perky! I really love them, I wear a bra 24/7 becaues I never want them to sag! lol. I'm going to look at your pics right now! haha
