Mommy Makeover 4 Weeks Post-Op! - Orlando

You would be laughing if you saw me … gripping my belly speeding walking down the sidewalk to the bathroom! I can get it on by myself thank goodness, but lord was that an interesting moment that I hope not to have again! Ha!

I'm not so sure about the measurement thing either .. I feel like there is so much substance to the bras I bought at VS. They take up half of my bra drawer!! I think I need something different. Let me know how it goose after the 6week appt. For your sake, I hope that you are soon binderless!

Looking fantastic!

321, Really… you booked cool sculpting??? I was thinking of asking about that for my love handles that didn't quite disappear w the TT. I need to research it … I have no idea about the cost, efficacy or recovery. I think my "handles" are mostly just fat … not really saggy skin, so I don't know if that makes a difference? I don't think I could go under again and do lypo again anytime soon. In & out … one day on Thursday? The vaca on Friday with a VS trip in between … must not be a big recovery. I am really, really interested and excited for your "little perfection" appointment!

I have wondered around my bathroom binderless and I think it would feel really odd too. You'll get used to it!!

OMG, I am so swollen today. Not liking that. I am going to look into some sort of belly spanx. I found one at VS outlet, but it was black. That would limit my choice of color clothing. Maybe I can find one on Friday.:)
My visiting family just left today, so its time to get cleaning and prepare for my vacation. We literally have had family all summer, five weeks out of the 6 weeks recovery!
I ran the vacuum, doing several loads of laundry, scrubbing bathrooms. The works, so I will probably be swollen tomorrow too.
I was told the cool sculpting (Zeltiq) has no recovery time. I am in and out in 2 1/2 hours. They do one hour on one side and another hour on the other side. I should see results in 6 weeks. They freeze the fat cells, the cells die off and get flushed out in the 6 weeks. I have to go back in 6 weeks anyways for my next post-op.I am pretty much just a little fatty back there. I can grab on each side a section. I started taking Arnica again so I won't bruise too much. I bruise really easily.
I am excited too, it will be interesting to see how it works.

421, I wondered what happen to you! You will do great, recovery isn't fast, but the results will be worth it! Glad you are calm … that's good … go with it!! It will be coffee time before you know it!! Good luck!!

lol 419 I also have a shopping issue ,, I ordered 4 dresses online today I shouldnt have done it but no one will know ! hehehe I just need to make sure my sister and law comes to get the mail b4 my husband =) ive been restricted from spending since I have spent close to 20,000 this year on MM travel and ect,,,,,,,my excuse will be "THEY WERE ON SALE" lol

I LOVE IT! Well I slowed down on my shopping and wished I would have planned much better than I did for paying for my tt, however, it is now paid in full and no looking back. I haven't bought any pants or shorts for a while. But now that we just bought a new house and want to put a pool in you would think I could have some self control on shopping for myself. ha
oh no, 321 that is awful about your youngest. I hope he is doing better with those bites.
Yes, everything is always on sale is my excuse!!!!

Congrats on the house! Did u have trouble getting approved after having a large amount unpaid on the tummy tuck? Just curious cause we are doing the same and I was a bit selfish in getting the tt so soon , but I figured it's easier to get a house loan after then it would have been to get an unsecured loam after a house loan ,,,,, it worked out to where I got a cc with no interest for a year to use for surgery so we are shooting to pay it off by aug 2012 but we would Like to get into a house b4 then

Thanks! I didn't finance the tt, been making payment for the last 6 months to have it paid in full. Its not been fun but its over with. Didn't plan on buying a house so soon but mine sold and everything just happened super fast. I am sure showing you are paying it off each month, it should only help your credit. I hate banks, mortgage companies and all that. I just know they make you jump through lots of hoops.

FIT, You should have the cc paid off in no time.I did the cc with no interest for a year too. My BFF, did that for her breast aug. about 3 years ago. It was the best advice she gave me to prepare for my surgery. With all the money I saved from not shopping for the past year, we should have my cc paid off by the end of the year.
We are also planning on putting a pool in by next summer. At first we weren't going to put the pool in for another 2 years. We wanted to wait till my youngest was out of daycare. This way we wouldn't have daycare payments and pool payments. Oh well, my hubby promised a pool for next summer :)

Orlando321 you look amazing! Did you end up having a lift along with the implants or no? If so, what type of incision did Dr.S decide to do? I need a lift but hate the idea of having a scar on perfect new twins from the lollipop incision :(

Thanks Makeupmommyx3,
I had the lift with augmentation. He did the anchor lift, with incisions around my areola, down the bottom of the breast, and under the breast. I wasn't too fond of having incsions/scars either. However, his incisions are pencil thin and very straight. I am going to take pics tonight of my incisions to post. I figure no one will really see them except my hubby, and I had to have a lift. They weren't as droopy as most breast in need of a lift, but still they needed a pick me up. I love them.
During the consult Dr. Soto showed my hubby and I a patient that was 3 months post-op. She was darker skinned (hispanic probably)and you could barely see her incisions.

You look absolutely fantastic! You are healing beautifully!

your areola and scars are perfect!

You look AWESOME!!! I had my preop yesterday and was feeling a little white after reading the consent forms and all. Once I started talking with Dr S I felt so much better. My BIGGEST concern I told him was the scar. I know its gonna hurt and all.
I did forget to ask how to pin the drains down. What did you do with them? They are to stay lower than where they are inserted? Oh so much to remember. lol
