Things have been the same since last post. The felling in my lower stomach is still a little numb and hard. My breast scars have keliods on the sides and they hurts some times. Over all i would do it again. It crazy looking back at the old pictures of myself. I'm so glad i did not wait any longer then i did.

You look great!
Thanks
hey, did you ever try biocornuem for your scars? i heard that scarguard is not that good because it has steroids and it thins out your skin, but since you tend to keloid, maybe that's the best option for you. I had a T/T and lipo with Dr. Gershenbaum almost 4 years ago. it went really well and my scars are barely noticeable right now. don't forget you have to be patient with it and consistent with the scar creams. best of luck! glad you're doing well!
Thanks yeah my tt scar is not really noticeable. But scar guard wasn't doing anything that I could tell. My skin is very thin at the inner scar of my breast and maybe that was from the scar guard. And the keloids are the outside scar. I have never tried anything my scar guard so maybe I'll try what you recommended.

Everything is back to normal except my scars are...

everything is back to normal except my scars are painful at the ends of the breast. They are also very red. I tried scar gaurd for three months but i didn't see a difference. I also just moved out of the state so i can't go back to my doctor to have him look at it. over all would do it again but if you all ready have image issues it kind of makes it worse. Now when i gain 5 lbs i notice i'm harder on myself because i spent all this money. I am taking it one day at a time though and working on my eating habits.

Hi everyone things have been doing good. No pain...

Hi everyone things have been doing good. No pain except if i try to stretch back my stomach still cant get pulled that way. Or i cant sleep on my stomach but i am used to that from the c-sections. I have gotten down to 197 but then had guest in town and now the new pictures are at 202. Still swollen and hard around the the tt and my scars from the breast lift are pretty bad. I am using scar gaurd and it seems to be taking the redness down. My belly button scar is pretty bad to hopefully in time it will go down but still i would do the tt again. Over all feel more like myself and am very glad i didnt wait any longer
