1 & 1/2 years since final dog ear removal, 2 & 1/2 since scar revision
WORTH IT$1,000
I promised an update & was waiting to lose those 15 pounds before I posted, but oh well....here goes: I am very happy with my results. The scar is still visible, but I know it will fade eventually, as it gradually has since I had the surgery.
The dog ear is finally gone! The scar is still light pink & visible over a swimsuit, but it does not stop me from wearing a 2 piece. The left side scar is white & very faint, of course that side is not visible in a 2 piece.
Anyone who is thinking of doing a dog ear removal, scar revision - go for it!

Photos...
Here are the photos. You can see my lower belly is rounded & puffy, but in a few weeks it will flatten out. Would you believe I still have a light bruise from 9 months ago?! That is the dark spot you see on my latest dog ear revision - it will fade, I heard it can take up to a year!

Thanks for the most recent post! You look great, your scar is healing nicely with no dog ear. I have rec'd mixed reviews from various PS answering my question as to if my revision is still showing a dog ear or if i need lipo. Couple of PS's said it's probably swelling and should go down. Couple of Ps's say they see some fat and to wait two months then have it looked at. One said you still have excess and that I will need to have more skin removed in a few months. Yikes! They are all varying in their answers. I guess time is my best answer. I looked at my before pic and looking at it straight on from the side, it looks pretty flat compared to my before pic.
I am try to add it to my profile...I don't know how so I will have to figure out how to do that. Talk to ya later.

Hi again, I was able to post a review of my dog ear revision. I posted the before pics so you can see what I started with before the revision. Hope you have a great day.

Tummy tucks arent even worth the scar....

Yes, you are trading one issue, saggy loose, wrinkly skin that is visible for a scar that will fade eventually & is hidden under swim bottoms. Personally I'll take the scar any day!! All about what makes you happy :)

9 Months post 2nd dog ear revision on my tummy tuck
I have hesitated to update my review because I am carrying 10 extra pounds from my usual weight & I keep thinking I will just post update when I lose the weight. Through talking with another dear Real Selfer, I decided to add some photos. I always loved to see down the road updates myself, so here it is...
I think this summer was my worst as far as not looking like I wish in my bikinis/clothes. 10 lbs on me really shows in the flanks, thighs & arms, I am 5'3" so it shows more on me too, even a 5 lb gain shows. I don't look too bad in the photos, but believe me, none of my pants fit & it is visible to me. My tummy is a bit puffy, especially over the top of the scar on my right side. These photos make the scar look worse than it is because of the shadowing in my room, but it actually lightened up quite a bit. My 2 sides seem uneven, but when I lose the weight & am consistent with my workouts, it looks really good. I will not beat myself up over just 10 lbs. - one thing I am lucky about is that if I put my mind to it, I can lose the weight pretty quickly! With the holidays around the corner, I don't want to go into them with extra weight!
I started my workouts again this morning & am going to stick to them! I am also eating healthy & I will post the update after I get to my goal, hopefully next month!
My dog ear did not come back this time thankfully! I am so happy about that.
Hold on for photos - I am having trouble posting them but am working on it..
