WORTH IT$4,090
So an unexpected plus, I quit breast feeding my (then) 15 month old the week before my surgery but didn't really change my diet. The result is that I gained 7lbs. LOL instead of settling on my lower belly as it used to I now have a little booty and didn't loose much boob size :D my waist remained the same inch for inch! I'm quite happy with this unexpected extra!

I stopped the silicone strips after about 4 days of using them. The work great at breaking down scar tissue but my skin was smooth and seemed much more sore using the strips. I just wanted to drop some quick before and after pics. I still swell a little by the end of the day and more than usual on my pms week (now) but seriously....a billion times better than before. I'm loving wearing sexy under things now!

Try massaging the scars 2 times a day with Bio Oil.  This will greatly improve the scars with continued use.

It's already smooth and flat, just red still but that's fading quickly ;)

Wonderful, time will take care of the redness.

Well I can tell you I have zero regrets. I love my tummy now! I actually wore a bikini to the beach last weekend. First time in 17 years, and I felt great in it!

I greatly appreciate your profile and your journey. I'm a rather slim girl as well but after having two big boys my abdomen area dramatically changed. I had been looking in to tummy tucks but the scars scare me so bad. I love your body. I am looking into Dr.Swank

You should! He's amazing. Honest, kind, won't get upset if you freak out (cause he knows he's good and it will turn out great) he will give you as much time as you need and he gives you a one year warranty showing he stands by his work. Doctors should be skilled AND have beautiful bed side manor. He does. Btw, my scar is so thin and smooth I can hide it with my tiniest thongs and once the red fades completely it won't be noticeable even when I'm naked. Unlike that awful flap I had LOL. His consultations are free and if you go see him tell him mamax3 (sheena) revered you ;) Good luck! And if you have any questions about recovery that I didn't put up just send me a message :)

After 24hrs of silicone strips I took them off and washed them and I can see a difference already. My scar (2 wks and 2days old) is looking smoother and flatter.

Hi! You sure do look fantastic and I am so glad that you are pleased with the results. How long do you think it took you to be able to stand up straight and walk normally?

Thank you! We'll, Wednesday it will be three weeks since my mini tuck with no lipo and no muscle repair and I just started standing straight (and sleeping flat) a couple days ago. So 2.5 weeks I guess. BUT I'm still not comfortable with my normal "standing straight" you know, shoulders back breasts up, booty back lol. I can do it but it still feels uncomfortably tight. My incision is now completely smooth and flat now though. Just waiting on the redness and bruising underneath to fade out :) All in all I'm soooo glad I did it!
