She did a mommy makeover on me and I love my tummy tuck results!!My scar is so tiny and belly button looks great!!My breast augmentation looks great, but I wish I had gone bigger!!That incision looks great too!! I would totally recommend her!!!????

After 3 kids and my highest weight being 250 with my last pregnancy I had a very low hanging belly consisting of skin and fat. I wanted to get healthy and fit before I turn 40 in a couple of years. It's been 3 months since my TT and I am still amazed at how exciting it is to see my pretty flat belly again after all these years. I am 5'7' and now weigh about 170. Trying on clothes is fun again and my sex life with my husband is better than ever! Updated on 27 Jun 2014: The scars around my belly button and stomach are still really red but it is still way to early to know if this will be an issue or not. I continue to lotion and massage everyday and I am pretty much back to my regular day-to-day activities and workout routine. I am, however, very mindful of ab work because I see photos on here of people even farther along in their recovery having reoccurring swelling and problems from overdoing it. Updated on 5 Aug 2014: Feeling pretty much the same as 3 months post op. Still taking ab work slow till at least 6 months to avoid complications and swelling. My scar including around my belly button is still quite red but still massaging daily. I have had deep internal itching around scar line and it can be maddening but find an ice pack helps when it gets too distracting. I do have two small hard bumps in the middle of my hip to hip scar but the PS said it was scar tissue and could eventually be removed if I wanted. They cannot but seen and only I notice them so at this point they are not a concern. Still 100% happy with the results and would do it all over again even knowing how painful and long the recovery has been. Updated on 10 Feb 2015: I am still happy with my results after 1 year. I think my scar could be lower and I probably would opt for some lipo just to contour a little more but all in all I am happy with my results. I am exercising regularly and weight 5 lbs heavier now than right after my surgery. I am still cautious about AB work and still listen to my body but I am able to do very intense AB almost daily. The itching does not occur very often anymore and the two small bumps I had are completely gone. I still rub cocoa butter/stretch mark lotion on every day. Updated on 12 Aug 2015: I am 100% healed in terms of medically but I still have a scar that is slowly fading. My belly button is not exactly what I would have chosen but I am almost 40 years old and have no desire to flaunt it. It is very deep and the hole is much larger then it was prior to surgery. This is a small price to pay for a flat tummy and it is not worth any more surgery to fix. I still have deep internal itching and numbness but that seems to happen less often. Still one of the best decisions I ever made and even though it was a long and painful recovery I would still choose to do it all over again.
