Katapple, I would love to see the pics from your first half of your revision. I didn't get my BB revised since I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out.

Sorry you're not happy with your results so far. I can definitely relate. At 2 weeks it was probably the most frustrating. I was VERY swollen at that time and could only wear granny panties and sweat pants. Here's the pic of me at 2 weeks. Very swollen: http://dkm80tng5uqm9.cloudfront.net/full/40737674e1ddd109e848586a8ef9f80e/473103-480131.jpg Anyway, Give yourself time. In 6 month's you'll have a much better idea of what your results will be like. I am not a patient person myself, so I can totally understand where you are coming from. Feel free to email me if you want to keep in touch. :) varnerific (at) gmail (dot) com.

Sorry to hear it's not as easy to get a revision for you. :( To answer your question, it was not as painful as the tummy tuck mainly because there was no muscle work done with the revision. I am not as tight as I was with the original tummy tuck. In fact I can pretty much lie flat if I want to and can stand up straight. I work from home so I didn't have any issues as far as work goes. Lucky I guess in that respect. I am swollen but not nearly as swollen as before. I do not have any drains thank heavens! He did actually start on top of the scar and prettied up some of the thick and uneven scars I had. You can kind of see those in my 7 month PO pics. I'll update the pics in about a week if you want to come back and take a peek at the results. I'm feeling very optimistic this time around. :) Best of luck to you BrooklynsHeart! I hope you get the results you're looking for.

Thanks! Just 8 days until my surgery! :D Looking forward to getting rid of the bulges. :)

Thanks oceansailor. No, revisions are included in the price I paid up front. All I have to pay for on the revision is the Anesthesia fee which is $600, which I have no problem paying. I think the results will be really nice once he takes more skin off those sides and touches up the lip on the sides and lower belly.
