All is well. Just wanted to update the TT crowd with a photo of my recent look. I'm 9 days postop breast augmentation. Lots of swelling came with that from about the hips up. My waist swelled up to about 6 inches more from the BA and I'm still a little swollen. I know it'll continue to shrink down in time. I had Lipo to the lateral chest and it looks like Dr b got rid of the bra roll as under my armpits is flat and my upper back looks better too, still bruised. There is no side squish in a sports bra now. I feel balanced. I was self conscious in public when my breasts were riding higher but today they look pretty natural. I might have liked bigger but I'm content. Liking the whole picture right now. Hope all my TT friends are well.

Yay!! I'm so excited for you! I bet a tummy tuck is a hard recovery. Your breast augmentation will seem like a breeze in comparison. Can't wait to see pics!

M, was the BA easier than the TT procedure we went through? We are coming up to 1 year Oct 17 and I am not even considering another procedure...how do you compare the procedures?

Hello dear friends,

It has been 9 months since my TT. I am just popping in to say I am having the worst issue with itching all around my scar and all over my tummy and my back by the scar line. I am gaining sensation in my abs. It feels more like a dragging tug when my husband runs his finger down the center. I notice that when I work my abs really hard that the skin gets very puffy. I still feel like my skin is being pulled really really tight in the lower abs. Overall, I am so happy I did it. It seems like I am still shrinking as my shorts and jeans fit better and better.

My gym routine is pretty much back to normal with the exception of the knee not being 100%. My lumbar spine has some disc issues going on too so I don't squat or deadlift much anymore. If I do, I can't walk for about a week. Squats on a machine with 80 lbs is it. I go much lighter at the gym and make sure I do yoga stretching after to keep loosened up. Ifocus on core and supporting my posture. If I raise my hand above my head, it still feels like my upper abs are tearing because I am sooo soooo tight. That's great though, love that.

I am really excited right now as I am 17 days away from getting my breast augmentation. I can't even believe it! I have another review going for that. I'm struggling with implant size right now because having been flat most of my life, trying on boobs felt weird. It's going to be an adjustment but a very happy one. It looks like my husband will be working out of state for much of the recovery so he will miss the ugly part where they need to settle. That's okay cuz I know he will want to play with them and they will hurt!

Anyway, that's all for now. Hope you are all well and feeling beautiful, healthy and sexy! More later!

It is a very big scar.

Extended tummy tucks have extended scars and the size of it isn't relative to the post. I'm not sure how your comment could be helpful in any way.

A TT always has a long scar, extended longer and after extensive weight loss this may extend around the entire body, this fades after two years and is quite faint, it is thought by most people to be a reasonable trade off to have a fabulouse figure and get back into a Bikini, but its not for everyone and its not an easy option , I can say for myself I am delighted with my results and my scar is a truly small price to pay for the figure I now have

Well said making 50's magical. I couldn't agree more. It was a very big apron of skin and stretch marks before that scar came along. More of a reward to myself than a hinderance.

Lol, yes busted, I thought I would go for a more " how I feel" name, and my scar is all part of the new me, it's a small trade off , To be honest I have never seen anyone put " I wish I had my old tummy back " and I doubt I ever will
