Oh, and for anyone interested I have been using...
WORTH IT$13,000
Oh, and for anyone interested I have been using SCARAWAY strips...they can easily be found on amazon.com, you get "ScarAway Long Silicone Scar Healing Sheets - Contains the full Dr. Recommended 12 Week Supply ~ $55." But because a TT is long you will use 2 sets of strips, so you are only getting 1/2 the use time, but I use the same sheets for 1.5 to 2 weeks at a time. Also I am at 11 weeks, but because Im am seeing such amazing results, daily, I will use them till I no longer see anymore changes - so Im betting I will wear them for over 6 months, but I will update in a few more to show the changes.
Here it was I have done, and my healing results are EXCELLENT:
1. The instructions say leave on a minimum of 12 hours...if you follow this you are just doubling your healing time. I leave mine on for 24 hours.
2. What you need to do is have 2 sets revolving at once. So when I have a shower in the morning I put a set of ScarAway's on my scar, I wear all day and night (check to make sure still secure against the skin every once in awhile)...the next morning I wash the one set that was on, and put on the other set that were drying from the previous mornings wash. REPEAT DAILY.
3. Don't be cheap, if you want good results, and a quicker healing time. I originally wanted to see how long I could get the sheets to last, BUT if they are not as sticky and are tending to fall off, you are not getting the proper adhesion, therefore the healing isn't happening to its fullest. I have 2 sets revolving, and each set of sheets I use I will have in place for 1.5 to 2 weeks each. So because I am revolving sets I get 4 weeks worth from when opened (hope this makes sense).

So I'm 3 weeks out from my 2nd TT...and things look great. And I am making sure to keep the immune system healthy with drinking my green shakes daily, no coughing for me. I will post more pics when things are healed and I can stand more upright.
I also had Dr. Baxter do a fat transfer under my eyes where I had lost some volume...so far it looks good, very natural...but it can take 6 to 8 weeks to see how much fat actually takes. I choose this over fillers, fillers did not work for me, my body just seemed to absorb them...and so far I cant see why anyone would spend $500 every 4 months for fillers (under eyes) if they could get a great doctor to do a fat transfer that is long term. But that being said, a Great doctor is needed, like Dr.Baxter :).

Hi Happy Lady-- just wondering how you're doing after your revision TT? Would you mind posting some pics? Thanks for sharing your experience! I am considering Dr. Baxter myself, and it's nice to read such a detailed experience with him.

Hi,
I'm doing great, things look great...my scar looks real good so far (I've been using ScarAway silicon sheets - wow, worth purchasing and using after the incission is fully healed). I will take some pictures and add more review, but it may take me a few weeks...we just moved and I cant find anything :(.
Thanks for asking, and I will post some pictures as soon as I unpack my brain...LOL.

I understand how it goes when you're moving! There are days when I'm not when I still feel like I have to unpack my brain.. ;) I look forward to reading more about your journey!
