Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift - Springfield, OH

Officially One Year Post-Op!
WORTH IT$9,500
I just wanted to come back and update my pictures, as it has been one year since my surgery. Overall, I am still very happy with my decision to have the procedures done.
After looking at my old pictures, my breasts seem to look very similar to how they looked before surgery. I'm not thrilled about that, but I still like them. Also, my the vertical scars on my breasts are hyperpigmented. I asked my surgeon about it, and he just told me some times that happens. Not much of a reaponse. I'm not sure how to correct it, or if it's even possible. The horizontal scars, however, have faded away very well! I am very excited and surprised with them.
Like my breast lift, I am still very happy with my tummy tuck results. My scar is low and fading away nicely. I'm actually so used to it being there that I don't even mind it. My right side has a bit of a dog-ear, which my surgeon offered to fix for free, but I haven't yet decided if that's something I want to do. My belly button scar is fading away as well. Even though it's visible and, I guess, considered a "bad" scar, I don't mind it either.
I am quite happy with my results! The whole process went very well and I'm not sure how it's already been a year! I hope you found my review helpful. :)

Wow lucky you!!! What does he say about the bunching of the scar on the side? I wonder if it is a dog ear? If so he should fix it at no cost to u

I'm not sure what it is. My first few visits he basically said it had to be like that because of how the skin came together and it would have been better had I don't the whole lower body lift. I would like for him to fix it and think he definitely could. My right side is like that too and is probably worse than the left. Even if I had to pay for it, which I shouldn't, it'd be nice to fix them.

Yeah I think I have a little bit of a dog ear too and some other small issues that I would like fixed too. I don't mean to seem picky of your results at all I just would want someone to stick up for me for something like that too. Otherwise you look amazing and so flat lucky!!!

Finally updating! :)
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Every time I thought about posting something, I ended up putting it off. I've been busy getting back to work and working out! But I'm finally here! :)
Everything is going very well and I am very happy!
At about 4 weeks PO I was about to stop wearing my binder and my PO bra and I was able to start exercising again! (Unfortunately. I totally got used to using the "I'm not allowed to workout" excuse! :D)
My incisions/scars are looking great and all of the glue finally came off. A couple weeks ago, the right side of my TT incision got really hard and swollen. The whole area was red and was leaking a lot of fluid from three different spots. I've had to keep gauze taped on it since then just so the fluid wouldn't get on my clothes. It's finally gotten better and I'm down to keeping gauze just on one of the spots that's still leaking a little. I'm not sure why that randomly happened, but I'm glad it's getting better. I thought it'd look horrible forever!
My right breast has a spot at the end the horizontal (the one under the breast) incision that keeps opening. It healed well to begin with, but then opened, healed, and now were back to open again. I'm not sure why this keeps happening, but it never looks too bad and never hurts, so I'm not too worried about it.
I'm so amazed at my scars! All of them! They're 100 times smaller and better looking than I never imagined! They're just little lines! I love them. :)
Overall, I am very happy and still surprised it's all gone so well. So excited! :)
I'm not sure if I left anything out.. so much has happened, yet nothing really at all lol.
