These were taken about 2 weeks ago. I've had an anchor lift and a 2nd complete TT with muscle repair. Surgeon is planning to do a benelli to round out breasts and to open and release my left capsule. It's a little tight and pulling implant up a bit. He is planning to fix dog ears. He is planning on lipo-ing back when fixing TT scar. Final decisions on touch-ups in a few weeks.

Bad Results

I had it all redone by a better surgeon in August, 2013. My tummy is flat, now. I had a full anchor breast lift.

Yesterday I was 3 weeks post op. My post op instructions say that I don't have to sleep in my CG anymore. Last night I tried it. I have mixed feelings. This morning it felt like I ripped open an incision, but I just pulled on the tape. I kind of feel unsafe with it off. My tape is beginning to curl. I cut the loose edges off after I shower. I will take more pics after all the tape is gone.

My boobs are really itchy all over. I have to be conscious of scratching. I created tiny sores from scratching them. Now, whenever they are itchy I rub coconut oil all over them. That seems to really help. I also rub it on my tummy after a shower. One time I rubbed my Shea butter cream on my girls instead. I was rewarded with breaking out on my cleavage. Nice.

I went to the chiropractor yesterday. Lying face down on the table was interesting. She gave me a pregnant belly pillow to put over tummy. That helped. Was just uncomfortable. I am hoping that the adjustment helps with my headaches.

I hope that you all are healing smoothly.

Those of you waiting for the big day, it's all worth it. :)

Dr. Carraway is the PS for Eastern Virginia Medical School. He is an expert witness who testifies in botched plastic surgery trials. People come from out of town to have him fix other surgeon's work. He came highly recommended by some friends of mine who had used him for work they had done. He is older, and has 40+ years experience. In my opinion and in this field, that is a very positive attribute. I did not consider any surgeons that were younger than 60. I have been quite pleased with all decisions that he had liberty to make. ALL THE GOOD STUFF I WROTE ABOUT HIM IS CRAP! HAD IT ALL REVISED BY ANOTHER SURGEON. HAD ANOTHER COMPLETE TUMMY TUCK WITH MUSCLE REPAIR. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS SURGEON IF YOU'RE GETTING ANYTHING DONE BELOW THE CHIN. (4-28-14)
