You look great. Your tummy is a transformation from what you had. I'm glad to know someonE else used the arnica tablets. I did and It helped me so much along with the bromelain tablets. Great results hope you continue to have a smooth recover. Happy healing

Tummy Tuck Scar - 1 yr (almost!) Update

I don't have many pictures of my scar from the initial start. The scar was VERY red & looked nothing like it does now. So happy everyone was right about that part (it gets lighter over time). The laser scar therapy Dr. Fernau offers his patients is a wonderful perk! It's very light in comparison to other scars I've seen.

I met with Dr. Fernau very recently and have decided to move forward with a breast augmentation. Plan are nearly in place and I'm so excited!!! I'm going to use silicone implants and will be a D -cup at the other side. A new journey for me!

Boobs are great!! I Love mine!! My only warning would be that when you are a D cup- those things are HEAVY!! I got mine about 12 years ago, and after gravity did it's thing, I have deep marks in my shoulders from bra straps. I'm undecided on a lift (not in the budget now anyway) but I really believe if I had gone with a C they'd still be a little perkier.. Your TT results are amazing- do you have any before / after pics of the scar treatment? Also, do you remember how soon you were able to safely navigate the stairs. I have bedrooms and both full bathrooms upstairs, but not a good place for a recliner. trying to figure our where my nest will be..

I can't imagine! I 'do' know I won't go higher than per 400 cc's. Maybe that will help, I'm not sure. Fingers crossed they look awesome after! :) I do have pix of the scar therapy. It TRULY works & it's included with Dr. Fernau's fee. You can go as many times as you feel necessary, as well. I think I went Jan-Nov 2014. The stairs were not too bad after 4-5 days. I'm a pokey healer though. :/. You'll probably do laps around me, ha ha!! I would recommend using your upstairs for the first few days. After your 1st Dr. Appt, then maybe think about downstairs. My hubby helped me w/walking the first 2 days, otherwise, I may have needed a walker. This is a tough recover overall, but MAN are the end results worth it!!! :))
