3 Months Post Op
$5,000
Hey Girls...unbelievably it's been 3months and now when I look back at my before pics it seems even more astonishing that I looked that way...I've started to tell myself to feel more comfortable with myself because this me is so much more who I am.
I only had one follow up with Dr. Cochran...he told me to come back whenever I felt ready or if I had a complication....haven't felt up to the drive though...I may wait until the 6 month mark. I haven't had any complications at all...except the complication of me not being able to stop putting food in my mouth.
I have reached the point (again) of wanting to exercise and eat healthy...it's such a roller coaster for me... But I just got off vacation and really want these thighs to tone up...so here I go again.
Still treating my scars with Mederma and using Micropore tape on my incision...they're fading slowly...definitely exercising patience in that area.
Not much more is going on...wearing crop tops (woohoo) is fun! Never thought I'd see that day...still contemplating breasts (ha!)....I just really want to be proportioned and this bubble butt and flat chest are not doing the trick...even with a padded bra I almost look flat...hmmmm...idk...we'll see what's next.

You look awesome! I'd trade my DDs with you if I could. I'm so too heavy that even with my smaller waist and hips, I still feel like my breast are the first thing you see coming. I would really like a reduction, but for some reason it makes me queezy seeing breast surgery performed, but didn't bother me to have a tt after seeing that surgery being done. I think you look great just the way you are, but of course I know how you feel about yourself is what really matters.

You have the perfect butt! It looks like one that women pay so much money for. You stomach is so flat too, so if you are eating a lot, I cannot tell! Great results!

Is that hyper pigmentation bruising you still have? Looks just like mine. No ideas why I have the dark spots but I just starting treating them with fade cream

I have no idea what the striped discoloration is but the ones that look like spots were blisters from the surgical tape. I use Mederma PM and the scar lightening oil on all of it.

I stayed at the Renassaince Inn. It was great. Also the Homewood Suites are great. The Inn was very quiet and they were very helpful to us. I had an accessible suite, you can't go wrong with them. I posted pics.

Day 12 Post Op
Feeling a lot better...restless...I just wish my body would catch up to how I feel inside because I feel like I'm ready to workout and cook and get back to work and normal life...them I stand up like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and reality sets in. All in all I'm feeling great...wearing my compression garment 24/7...my incision is mostly scabbed over...thinking I'll start scar therapy sometime next week...the steri strips are still hanging on tight...belly button got a little scary after Dr Cochran snipped the stitches...he told me to clean with a cotton swab, soap and water...I had my BF do it...I tried once and it made me Squimish...but it looks better now...it's small but not too small...I have stretch marks under my belly button which was a surprise because I don't remember having them above my belly button preop...but my stomach was a mess before so maybe it was a detail I just didn't pay attention to. So 12 days post op I'm still saying I love my results...almost ready to say all this was worth it! I think I'll really be able to say that once I can stand up straight.

Your bb will get bigger as the swelling goes down. Mine use to look like that also.
It's funny what we don't notice when we aren't particularly satisfied with our bodies. I have a line on my stomach. It looks like the dark line you get when your pregnant, except I'm not pregnant. I was like 'where the heck did this come from and it's crooked!!' Well, it's straight, but it runs to the side of my bob and not in the middle. I was wondering how my doctor could miss something so obvious and not make is straight with my bb and why is it there in the first place. Well, I took a look at my pre op photos and apparently it's always been there. I've NEVER noticed it befor. It wasn't lined up before surgery. It looks exactly the same. It's so weird I never noticed it before. And the weird thing is that I did have stretch marks above my bb before, but I don't have any stretch marks now. Weird.
You're looking really good with hardly any swelling. I'm 3 months po and I have much more swelling than you. Happy healing!

Do you still feel really tight? I want to stand straight so bad but this skin is pulled so tight. But I'm only 9 days post op
I am still in the process of trying to convince myself to do it. I am afraid of the unknown. But I absolutely hate my stomach. My breasts are a full C cup. My bottom is nice. Your pics make me want to go on and be brave. LOL
