Revision healing went quickly. I felt perfect four days after surgery. Of course not having drains or any muscle cut into was a HUGE factor. I, however, obeyed my doc and ceased all exercised except walking for 4 weeks. It was originally told I'd have to wait 6 weeks before returning to the gym, but good behavior good me back in record time at only 4 weeks without any limitations .

I continue to eat clean, train, take fitness classes. I'm at an all time low weight of 134 lbs and my body. Fat has dropped too!

Hi, you look awesome! I can see you are excited about yourself now and loving life. I am so glad you are happy with your revisions.
My PS wants to do some revisions to get rid of excessive skin at my breastbone/sternum area and to excessive 'lovehandles', but being a guy and knowing that other guys aren't as critical as women. I have resisted so far. Next year I will get a quote and take it from there. Your results have inspired me to rethink my results. Still loving life.
Keep up your good work.

Well done! Every time another fabric parcel arrives home from Atlanta, I wonder how you are getting on. You look amazing and so fit. I will update soon, but nothing has changed much, same weight, still travelling the World and enjoying the 'new me'. Keep up the great work, your journey is inspiring for anyone about to start their marathon.

Update: At 2 year post-op (Aug 2016), I had a BL Revision and a belt lipectomy.

My PS and I hemmed and hawed over a Breast lift revision since 3 months post op. It wasn't as significant surgery (approx 1 hr) where he'd raise the breasts more. They still seemed to sag too much and require and really good support bra. Also, I wasn't happy with the amount of roll I had under my arm. While I thought it was stubborn fat, my PS assured me it was extra skin. So the revision magically perfected my breasts and even got rid of the roll without any extra incisions.

The belt lipectomy was a last minute add on (as was my original Tummy Tuck). The TT healed beautifully and I looked awesome for about 270 degrees. It was staring straight at my flanks/love handles that was unsettling. While I had had some minor lipo there with the TT, looked lumpy from behind. The belt lipectomy simply fixed a few dog ears on the ends of my TT incisions and extended those incisions about 6-8". Again, the PS said he was getting rid of more skin than fat.

Perfect hourglass! Seems like those days of blisters and what-nots are all so very long ago eh? So glad to hear you're healing well... The holidays are behind us, now moving on to New Year's resolutions... Mine was to cook more and eat out less. But then I made a heaping pile of spaghetti and Texas toast! hahahaha... YUM! :p
January 12, 2015
Thanks! Yes, blisters are a distant memory. Just a lite skin discoloration left behind from it. Spaghetti & Texas toast sounds great as long as it is sans fingernails! Haha

Wow, I think you need a new tape measure, that one must be stretched. You look amazing and it appears to be definitely worth the effort. A great result surely, are you happy with it?
January 12, 2015
Thanks, my friend! Yes, I am very pleased with the results. My breasts still hang a bit (don't quite pass the pencil test) but compared to where I started I am over-the-moon thrilled!! I hope you are enjoying your new svelt figure too!
