59 Years Old, Mastopexy with Silicone Breast Augmentation. Also Abdomen & Flank Lipo. Tucson, AZ

Small revision on breast augmentation done in November. Absolutely no pain from the incision. I can't tell you how much better the breast feels. No longer feels like I have a pulled muscle all the time. The incision on the breast at 13 days already looks better than it did at eight months from the last surgery so I am very happy. Thank you Dr. Maloney! Yes the tube is irritating and still in at 13 days.
I feel like the tummy tuck is going well. The scar is always a little overwhelming but it appears to be very straight and I believe once I'm able to start using some silicone on it it will smooth it out and lighten it up. My main complaint which was the crease that ran a cross my stomach after Lipo is now gone. Of course I'm still very swollen so we'll see exactly what the belly button looks like when it all settles down. In case anyone is wondering what that small 1 inch incision is running vertically right above the tummy tuck scar; it is where my bellybutton was cut out. Because I have such a long torso the skin was not able to be pulled down far enough to be cut out below the tummy tuck scar. You. really can't see it in the first photograph but I had a scar that ran from my belly button all the way down to my crotch which is totally gone now so I'll take a 1 inch scar any day. I still also have a tube in the stomach. I am currently putting out about 40 ml in the breast per 24 hours & 80 ml in the stomach per 24 hours. I believe they want that down to a 25 ml per 24 hours before they take the tubes out. I'm a little disappointed looks like most people are getting their drains out about now. Have an appointment tomorrow if nothing has changed I will cancel and then reschedule to be seen on Monday. That will be 18 days so hopefully one of these tubes can come out by then. LOL
Feeling good not ready to go run a marathon and still sleeping in the recliner most nights, lol but feeling very encouraged.

Of course very swollen but very pleased.
Can you believe it. Live in AZ of course 100+ & our air broke down. Part won't be in until next week. Staying at a resort across the street. I just want my recliner!!!ouch

Pictures will follow in a few days, my second surgery was done last Friday. (Tummy Tuck & revision on right breast) Eight month ago I had a breast augmentation/lift & lipo to the stomach & flanks.
I recently made the decision for the full tummy tuck & revision on the right breast which had a hematoma back in Nov., 3 weeks after the 1st surgery. The breast just never dropped and there was always some discomfort, it was always like having a pulled muscle.
My sugestion to those thinking about doing lipo if you have any loose skin at all go for the tummy tuck. You will not be happy with results. If you go back and look at the pictures right after the first procedure you will see a crease that goes across my stomach that was not there before the lipo. What you are looking at is excess skin hanging after the fat was removed. No amount of exercising will make that go away. So bite the bullet, save your money and do it the correct way.
My plastic surgeon has been very professional backing his work and reworked the breast at no charge to me when he did the tummy tuck. This was really no one's fault just one of those things that can come up with surgery.
First off, the breast feels absolutely great, like night & day. The way it was explained to me was he would go in & remove any scar tissue if needed and open the pocket in the breast so the implant would drop slightly. If there was no drain I wouldn't feel a thing!
Now to the tummy tuck. I really thought this would be much worse than it was. They took the steri tape off my 4th day in the office. I saw the PA so was a little surprised at that. Everything I've read said you want to leave that on as long as possible. I will see the Doc again next Monday because drains are not ready to come out so will have more discussions about that. Over all I think the scar looks great for one week, as good has any scar could possibly look going from hip bone to hip bone,lol.
Remember folks looking back on the photos I'm no 24 year old beauty queen (60 is more like it) I'm a mother of 2, ages 40 & 44 & a grandmother of 4, ages ranging from 2 to 20. Yes they're all mine.lol
