1 year anniversary!

It's crazy to think that last year I was in recovery and not really knowing what to expect. I still have to say, I would definitely do it all again. To recap, I had a full, extended TT with MR repair and flank lipo. Like I thought before hand, the flank lipo would be the most painful of it all, but look at my before and after pics! Amazing. The only issues that remain are the numbess on my abdomen and my BB revision scar that is still healing from 2 months ago. I have no pain or limitations. My lower abs seem puffy sometimes and I'm not sure if they are or if it's my imagination.
I love my ab definition! This would NEVER have been possible without this surgery. I want to thank Dr. Fiala and his wonderful staff for their expertise and kindness, my husband for his infinite love and support, and you ladies on RS for all the advice and encouraging words. I have said this before and I will emphasize it again. If you are undecided about doing this surgery, take some "OMG" before pics, pick a great surgeon, and DO IT! Your OMG after pics will be worth it. Love you all!

BB revision, 10 months post op!

Happy Thanksgiving Friends!
I went in for my bb revision yesterday. I wanted the the left side (your right) of my bb to look symmetrical, deeper (if possible), and I wanted the scar to be thinner. It was done under local anesthesia for no extra fee. I'm actually still pretty numb apparently on my abdomen because I didn't feel hardly any of the lidocaine injections. He revised the area and stitched me up in about 15 minutes. I was a bit sore last night but today I feel fine. I can't work out for 2 weeks which is hard with the amount of food I'm planning on eating for Thanksgiving :D, but I a cute bb is worth the sacrifice. I attached a pre and post revision pic and pics of my scar. I did do Embrace scar treatment for 2 months. Other than that, all is well. I will post another pic of my bb once the sutures are out in about 10 days. Xoxo

8 1/2 months post op!

Hey Ladies! It has been a little while since I updated my review because nothing much has changed. My abs are getting stronger and more visible with core exercises. I am still numb on my abdomen but I think it's improving. I am definitely more flat some days than others. I'm not sure if it's swelling still from the surgery, swelling from core work, or GI bloating.

I have a small revision of my BB scar in November. You can't really tell unless you're really staring, but the scar is irregular and has vertical scars from the sutures. It will be performed under local anesthesia in the office. I will post my next update after that.

Overall, I'm still very happy with the results. I know for a fact, no amount of exercise would give me the results I have now. That skin and diastasis had to go! Talk to you gals soon.

I had 2 consultations with Dr. Fiala and he and his staff have been excellent. I was never rushed. Every last question has been answered either in person, by phone or email. He is an excellent surgeon with a great bed side manner. He is very meticulous about his craft. He stays current with medical literature and incorporates this knowledge into every aspect of surgery. I know I made the right decision by choosing Dr. Fiala! I will definitely choose him again in the future for all my cosmetic needs.
