just a quick update. I ended up having to have surgery again one yr after my tummy tuck and breast lift. I needed to asymmetry fixed and had to have my incision redone. It had healed horribly thick from my allergic reaction to the sutures. I also had to have my breasts redone cause the incisions there healed horribly as well. The second surgery went well and everything looks great now.

Did your stomach flatten as you wanted to? I hear that it can take up to a year and half for full results. I just had a TT this past Thursday by Dr. Reinke.

Posted some 11 week pics that I am not happy with. Hoping this really is swelling! I also weight a lot for me and am also hoping this will come off with the swelling

Hi, I from jan tters and first want to say l love your loft bikini!! I'm a loft girl too!! I just got the new striped bikini just came on Thursday! I think you look awesome! I wish my upper belly were a bit flatter but for the most part I'm very thrilled with my results! I initially lost 10 lbs and its all back ever after excercise 5 days a week and 300 crunches most days! I enjoy wearing my workout clothes bc I'm not trying to hide my tummy, someone else said we are our own worst critics and I believe that !! The swelling can linger for a long time so try to be patient and I know how hard it can be but in the end it will pay off. We are a work in progress! I think our minds still have to catch up to our new bodies. Anyway I think you look awesome!
sassymomof3, thanks so much for writing! I wish my upper belly was flatter too. I was told it will be but who knows! I am trying to be happy with the results but some times I look at my self in clothes and see no difference! Naked yes i see a big difference in my belly but clothed not so much. I expected more I guess. Especiall in my back and my breasts haven't gone down in size yet even though I had a reduction. I haven't had a chance to look at your pics but I am sure you look great!
WOW, you look great!
Thank you!
You look AWESOME and love your BB mine still looks like a slot machine and I'm 3 months just can't wear a bikini yet hoping my bb will look better
Babs, thanks for the kind words! YOu looms great! I looked at your pics!
You look awesome! I also rejected the stitches which caused my incision to open up which was very emotional for me because I had to be put to sleep again so my ps could redo it, the incision was lower then than it is now and it was also straight and now it sorta curves a lil in the front. thank goodness it is still low enough that you can't see it with a bathing suit. I'm 12 weeks out and it seems like I'm such a slow healer but finally starting to feel much better. still swelling and still have pulling in my lower tummy. take care!
Hey mimi,
Thanks for writing. I am also 12 weeks and feel better but am holding weight. I also opened up due to my allergy to the stiches. My dr didn't do anything though. He let it close on its own. I guess it wasn't open enough to close it and we wanted to avoid more stiches. I won't need a revision thank goodness! Glad you are feeling good!

this is so late responding but in case you still need to know. I needed surgery one yr later so I had surgery again last april 2013. I had to have some lipo and needed my incision redone. Hope you are well
