Asked By:Mommy2BooX2 in Willamette Valley, OR

I'm 6 months out from a full TT w/MR. My BB will be revised by my board-cert'd PS 3/13/14 as it has some protruding flare around lower outer edges & insuff't recession when standing, shows through clothes. Sitt'g/lay'g/hunch'g looks great. PS's will tack the stalk to my ab wall to pull it in a bit more. I'm finding a lack of info about what this is like for the patient. He says it'll take about 60 min's, through orig'l scar, local numbing, at work next day. Any add'l info on the exp.? Thanks!
