“my mommymakeover journey- oct 19, 2010 - tennessee”
Spent: $12,200 in TENN
Hello!
I had my mommymakeover about three weeks ago,I had a TT with smartlipo of the flanks and outerthighs,breastlift with 375cc saline implants.I've been waiting trying to decide if it's been worth it or not,and decided I need to be sharing these changes now. Hopefully your comments can help me with the concerns I have about my tummy tuck and I can share my experience and help the ladies that are facing this procedure.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!

Hello Ladies, I wanted to share these new pics and update my opinion about my momymakeover. I haven't felt like I could say for sure if I would do it again, my DR.is still trying to give it some time before deciding if we need to do some touch ups. I haven't gotten the results I was expecting,I know now that one can't expect things to be perfect but I do feel like I look better and I would do it again

Saw the DR. today and we are going to do some touch up work on the flank area and my lt side where the lipo isn't even he's happy with the changes in my scar and he wants me to continue with the vbeam treatments. He's puzzled as to why my breast scars are fading so well and my tummy and bellybutton aren't they questioned me as if i had been in the sun and i'm pale as a ghost and i haven't been in the sun, will continue having the laser treatments and hopefully the end result will be good.

I had a vbeam treatment today and will post a pic so you can see what the skin looks like after this type of treatment. I don't see much change and my DR.doesn't understand why the results aren't better but they want me to keep having the treatments and they feel that the scar will improve,I will compare the scar in a few days to see if there's any noticable change.

Helpful review?
My Doctor: Carey Nease, MD
My rating:
Dr. N comes with very good reviews and has assured me if my results are not what either one of us are happy with he will do a revision when considering plastic surgery this is comforting.



just kidding you !!!
I think it's still swollen. Did you have a full TT or a mini? In that first "After" photo, I can definitely see some ab definition. I know it's hard, but try to be patient.
Hey Girl! Your breasts look amazing. Just make sure you are massaging them 2-3 times a day with the Palmer's Vit E Oil. That will help smooth and fade the incision lines. Get the nipples good too. But they look really good :)
Also keep up the firm massage on the tummy and hips. You need to be really persistent with the oil massage in order to try and smooth and flatten that puckering. I think some of it is swelling though which takes a long time to go down. What is the little knot in the center of the tummy incision? I can't tell and it looks a little strange. Never seen anything like that.
Just keep at it and if it still looks the same at 10-12 weeks have him do the revision. Sounds like he offered to fix anything necessary so push for that if necessary. Don't be shy and please be persistent until you get the proper results. I know I would!!
I think what looks like skin rolls to you may just be swelling and will go down in time. If you had a full TT with muscle tightening you should not have rolls in the end. My tummy was really swollen the first 12 weeks and my waist was actually three inches bigger than before surgery. Once the swelling was gone I was down almost five inches in the waist.
I am sorry you are going through this and feeling unsure but just hang in there and things will get better one way or another.
Keep posting monthly pictures so that you can watch the changes.
LOL...I think I just wet my pants! You are too funny..
Well tell him you want a revision and a peepee removal:)
I started at about 2 1/2 weeks.
Ok ladies my bladder can't take it. I am laughing so hard at the two of you I am leaking!! Seriously now I need my bladder lifted and fixed..Oh HELL..
I hope the pee pee didn't cost you extra:)
