Extended TT incision and lipo of flanks Feb 21st

Try crunchs instead of sit-ups, they are very effective. I am fine to do both now at 11 months, but I do mostly crunches. Took 6 months for sit-ups to be comfortable. I have a hard time with push-ups, something to do with the muscle repair I am sure. I can push out about 8 of them and then have to stop. I keep trying so I am sure that I will be able to build up. Keep up the good work. You look absolutely amazing!

Price incuded a full TT and lipo of upper ad lower abs. I am actually going back in two weeks to have the TT extended around the hips to remove the rest of the loose skin and lipo the flanks ($3500). The improvements over the last year have only gotten better. I go to the gym 2-3 days a week and am very active the other 4-5 days. The hips and flanks have not responded to exercise/diet. The scar is long, but mostly faded and hides under panties/bathing suit. Very happy with Dr. Giles work and his office staff is awesome!

You should be okay to drive about a week after if you are not on narcotics anymore.

I had a BL/reduction in 2005, then had two more kids. If you look at my preop tt picks it held up ok. Not as high as they were after reduction, but at least nipples are not pointing down and the areola didn't get as big as it was before. Thought I was done having kids when I had it done. I think that getting rid of the extra skin and making the areola smaller will make you very happy. I went from about an E to a large C and after the two kids I am a 36 DD. I am ok with them for now because as you know you can do a lot with a bra. Recovery time from BL is a walk in the park compared toTT recovery. In the end you need to do what makes you feel good. I am considering having mine done again in about 5 years. I want to lose some more weight first, because they will shrink up a little then. Just worried about the skin no shrinkng back up with them. Sorry about the rambling. In the end I don't think that you will regret having it done. Talk about a confidence booster. For a while bras will be optional. :)

Binder is optional, but ps said I can continue using if I want to or switch to spanks or a girdle. think I will stay with binder for a few more days then prob spanks. I didnt swell with weight gain just swelled under bb after drain removed. Very uncomfortable!!
