Everything is going great. I still have swelling and tightness in my belly. The implants are settling still and have become much squishier and softer. I'm back to my workouts with lighter core work for another month. I use mderma PM on the scars in the evening and Aquaphor after showering in the morning. The incisions are thin and going to heal up to be almost invisible. I will likely have a dog ear revision at some point for my left hip.

I am ridiculously happy with my shape and looking to get into even better shape with exercise and diet. This summer I want to be able to wear (and feel awesome) in a bikini for the first time ever. :) Some new photos in the next post.

I'm hoping it smooths out but it's not looking like it will. It's just on my left. The right side looks great.

My advice for anyone getting the mommy makeover with him would be to ask if you are the only over night surgery that day and if not make sure you are. My experience is not something I'd want for anyone else and has largely been brushed off by the staff there. That's not to say they are unkind or unprofessional. Just not concerned by the night I had not being in the recovery suite I had been shown and was part of the total I paid. I have felt very at ease with Dr. Romanelli and his staff. The PA Joanne made me very comfortable and answered all of my questions at my consultation. I didn't feel pressured to get anything additional and they were honest about what I can expect my results to be. I am about 3.5 weeks out and so far very happy with my results.
