I Think I have Dog Ears :( 9 weeks post op.TT and Lipo to iliac crest -La Jolla, CA

Yes, I agree that 3 weeks is way too early to tell, there is a lot swelling at 3 weeks but there is also a lot of swelling at 9 weeks. It's so frustrating but we have to remind ourselves to be patient. I looked at my belly from the side tonight and I look awful tight but full of fluid. I have to remind myself that this is not the final results. Hang in there.

Oh goodness, that means that I will probably be still this way at 14 weeks. I thought it would be better by then, but they did warn me about the long recovery. I will see what the PS says this Friday. Besides those two little things I am happy with everything else. I will update more later this week.

Wow! U look awesome! I'm so jealous. I don't know how you are working out, I don't feel good enough to do so. I still feel like my stomach is super tight and even though I walk upright, I still can't lay flat when I sleep. I still put a pillow under my knees to sleep. It's just a tight feeling and can't imagine excercing while still feeling this way. Tonight I actually have some pain above my belly button and have no idea what it is. Anyway. I'm so glad you are feeling and looking fabulous! How have you lost 27 pounds? I lost 10 pounds but it was all the first 2 weeks of surgery. Maybe when I finally hit the gym I can lose some too. Keep up the good work!

Yes I have heard about the ear plug trick too. I asked my PS about it and he told me to be careful with that one because he was concerned about any infection as the earplug can have some areas hard to keep clean and it's material. He was more comfortable with the marble as its round and easy to disinfect.

The flexees - sorry automatic spell check. And the flexees is a brand kinda like spanx. I like it better as it offers support but the material is more comfortable. I have bought mine at Kohls
