What a difference a year makes! I have been back in the full swing of exercise for a while. It is truly like I have never had surgery as my body has adjusted and I am able to 100% do all workouts that last summer were impossible.

Dr. Diane Alexander and everyone at Artisan Plastic Surgery made this experience completely pleasant. I would do it again tomorrow. I was 100% cared for from start to finish with lymphatic massages, multiple post op follow ups and scar treatment. I would certainly recommend Dr. Alexander to anyone considering abdominoplasty.

For some reason my messages get cut off. You must be so pleased. How is your scar looking? You had a good scar to start with so I bet it looks amazing now.

I will add a pic later today. It's pretty much gone. I have a one year pic around my January 16th post. I think because it is practically in my hip folds, that it's almost like a natural crease.

Before photo

I had my one year post op appt. last week. Appt. was great - no concerns. My PS did ask my before I left if I had any questions.....and I was like....umm, yeah...I want some Botox! Not sure where that came from, but I have been very curious for a while about it. So......I was able to make an appointment and try it a few days later. Now this ladies...is weird. I have 100% sensation in my forehead - but it is frozen! I must say I do love the results! Eek! I was also able to get a before photo for ya'll, since I didn't have any personal before photos.

Your before photo looks almost exactly like mine and WOW your results are absolutely amazing. Definitely motivates me to want to have a TT. Congrats!

Thank you! It was a really easy process. : ). I was never in pain and never took any pain meds aside from the Experal given during surgery.

You are so sweet - I still have a few stretch marks, but overall I am happy! Thanks a ton!

You definitely can't see them. Were you this fit before surgery? Your beautiful tummy matches the rest of your body.

Thank you Bettymax! I was this fit before surgery, but the skin on my belly looked like a train wreck! It was so bad until I never any before photos myself. Only my surgeon took them. I have had them emailed to me, but they won't save to my phone or hard drive such that I can post them. Lol.

From crossfit? I am still planning another baby so my surgery is still a little while away. In the meantime, I am going to try and get as fit as possible because if I have a nice tight tummy, then the rest of me better match as well! I am not that big (I think it weigh about 56kgs) so I don't really have weight to lose, just need to tone up a bit. Did you have a quick recovery? And do you think being so fit helped your recovery?
January 17, 2015
I was an avid crossfitter for 5 years prior to my surgery. I do think it helped being in good shape as far as recovery. I thought recovery was easy (I never took any pain meds), but I was patient and ok with just hanging out for a few weeks watching movies. : ). I was actually the best break I had had in years. : )
