Runner, I get your frustration. I don't think I have the results, I paid for either. My tummy is still very round and now it looks deformed. He lipoed more on one side than on the other, so my profile is distorted. I am meeting with him soon and I at least want him to fix that part, I want it to look evenly round. Looking at your photos there's no denying that you looked better in clothes before the surgery, in fact you looked amazing. I'm sorry that it didn't turn out the way you hoped. I think if a lot of us were honest, we all would say the same thing. For some of us that were not as physicaly fit as you are, it is somewhat of an improvement. For me, I think if I had gotten off my ass as worked it off, I would look better than I do now. I know because I was once fit and have pictures to prove it. I looked better than I do now same weight but much flatter. The one thing I do not have anymore is the flabby skin and stretch marks, I traded that for a scar from hip to hip, not sure it if was a good trade. Keep your head up and as time passes the anger and dissapointed won't be burn at you as much as it does now. Time heals everything, especially our spirit. I for one, am glad that your are being honest and showing us with pictures your experience. I think people need to be realistic about what outcomes may come of having a TT, not everyone ends up with perfect results. God bless!
good to hear you are doing well, can't wait to see your after photos...I am in the same boat as you. I will address my concerns, at my 5 mth visit with my PS. I am trying to lose more weight and get in shape, to see if this helps. If it doesn't I will bring up the revision to him. I paid too much and worked too hard to not be happy with my results. Thanks for the update!
Happy,
We all have different ways of healing, the good thing is that everything is progressing. Take it easy and your body will do what it knows to do to continue healing. Listen to your body and don't over do it, I know it gets frustrating to not be able to get to our routines, our minds want to, but our bodies don't respond because it is healing. Give it time, meditate, pray and time will fly by. I'm still taking muscle relaxers once in a while after 4 mths., the slowest part to heal will be your muscle repair, mine still hurts, sometimes I have to roll myself out of bed instead of sitting up first. But, whatever works, i'm letting my body heal at its own pace. No rush, meanwhile, enjoy looking good in your clothes, no more tummy sticking out there : )
Hi,
I started using Mederma as soon as the PS said I could, I used it for about 3 weeks, then started using silicone strips, bought them at Amazon, but you can find them in your local drug store, used those fo 6 weeks and now I'm using bio oil. Not sure what is working or not, my scar is flat, but still a little dark. I'm gonna keep using bio oil till I run and and then going back to Mederma. The silicone strips were a pain, they would roll off and then I had to wash every night and put them back on in the morning. I really didn't see much difference in those 6 weeks that I wore them. Hope you'll be able to go back and get your bbl. I will be getting a BA w/ lift plus lipo to my arms, hopefully in August. I hope the recovery for that is much easier the the TT. Happy healing!
