3 months post op today
WORTH IT$9,300
Today marks 3 months since having my mommy makeover. Wow how time has flown! I am very happy with my TT results but am a little disappointed with how wide my breast scars are. I know that was the risk I took with doing the lift and implants at the same
time. People keep telling me that it will get better.
What has everyone been using in their scars? I've been using coconut oil and so far my scars (except for belly button) are nice and soft.
I've finally started back with running and get super swollen when I'm done with a workout. Also, my breasts itch like crazy when running! Anyone else experience this? Does it get better? I haven't gone back to yoga or any intense workouts yet because I'm so nervous, but it's time! I've put on a few pounds and am anxious to take them off.
What had people's experience been going back to yoga after a TT? Has it been difficult because of all the stretching backwards?
I am so happy with how easy my recovery went and would do it again in a second! Thank you for all your support and comments!

6 weeks post op tomorrow
It has been a long 6 weeks of recovery and things are just about all healed up. My tummy has been smooth sailing but is still swollen especially at the end of the day. I'm still wearing spanx and plan on continuing for a while because I feel they give me extra support. I went without them at the beach yesterday and by the end of the day my back was sore.
As for the breast, they are just about healed. The worst of it is over but just yesterday there was a new little spot that had opened. My body is still rejecting internal stitches. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't go smaller. I know I'm the odd one out as most want bigger, but I feel they are heavy. When I looked up how much 600 cc silicone weighs (300 each), I was shocked! 1.75 lbs! I'm hoping I did the right thing. The way they have settled so far bugs me. One nipple points much lower then the other and the one that points down is larger (the areola). I know doctors can't get them perfect, but I wish they were way more symmetrical. I'm wondering if they will even out a bit as time goes on?
I posted a few pics so people can see the healing process. Also, my first bikini ever!!!

I think your breasts look good and would not have noticed the difference between nipples if you had not pointed it out. And as you know most women have one breast that is larger or a nipple that is slightly higher. When ever I get down about my progress or wish I had gone bigger etc I look at my before pic and I am so grateful that I was able to get the procedure done because there are millions of women who are either afraid or can't afford it. You need to keep focused on how great you look :)

You're right! I'll focus on the positive! I feel amazing and definitely look amazing compared to before!

You look great. I bet you feel great! What size were you before? I am a 34c and was thinking of doing 375cc's but you said 300cc's feels big and heavy! I'm worried about going too big!

Thanks Rthoward2! I do feel great! I still can't get over how flat my stomach is! My breasts have gone down some and I have read that it takes 3 months before all breast swelling goes down when you have a combo lift + aug. I can almost fit into my 36C now, but am still a D. How tall are you? The size all depends on how tall you are and the size of your frame. I've seen some ladies with 400cc and they look small. My best advice is to try on several different sizes (put the implants into your bra) before making a decision.
I'm loving my new breasts more and more as the weeks go by! Good luck! Are you having a mommy makeover? Do you have a date?

I think you look amazing for 6weeks out in the last picture. Hope you update again.

Loving my new boobies!
Finally after almost 5 weeks my breasts are almost all healed. I started rejecting my internal dissolvable stitches at around week two and it freaked me out! I had opened spots all around my areola and openings at all the T's. I have been on antibiotics since my surgery and will be on for another two weeks. The scar on my tummy looks amazing!!! Just goes to show the skill of Dr.Welsh.
I had a couple set backs after surgery that I think added to the slow healing. I came down with the shingles at week two and it was hell!!!! And now I have a terrible cold. Sneezing and coughing is.not.fun. Other then all of that, I'm finally on the road to normal. I walked 4 miles today (I am now swollen) and haven't had to take a nap in a few days. My energy levels are steadily increasing and I'm happy with the decisions that I have made! I look forward to my swelling in my tummy going down and can't wait to see my final results.
