I'm Finally Doing It! - Atlanta, GA

I'm updating my review to say, "not worth it" for the tummy portion. My breast lift is great and I am very well pleased. However, for my tummy...I actually have new stretch marks if that is even possible. ?!?! I have a raised hairline so now with a pair if low riding jeans, you can not only see a scar, but *hair* if not careful. My goal was to be able to wear a bikini...not even close. I was told that the remaining stretch marks would be at or near my hairline...not even close.

I can see how this would be wonderful for people with more excess skin. I probably should have just stuck with Spanx.

My surgeon did a good job with the procedure bc I have had no complications and have healed very well with no binders and very little time with drains. I blame myself for not asking longer, more detailed questions with photos. :( I am flat now. It's a very expensive, painful, time-consuming way to remove a small amount of skin that was hidden on a body part that will continue to be hidden.

Has anyone noticed that their hairline is higher now? It's kind of strange, but a had on some pants that sit pretty low and I noticed that I had hair just under my scar which is much higher than it was before...I think. My body is going through so many changes is hard to be sure. ;)

I'm just about back to normal! My recovery has been really pretty easy overall and I'm super surprised really. I've had a lot to focus on though...my fiancé and his son were moving in last weekend and needed my "help" packing, I turned in my 2 week notice at my job four days after I returned to work (they loved that) and will be starting my new job on Monday! I'm still trying to respect and listen to my body for sure. This surgery had made me every well aware of how I treat my body...emotionally and physically. I have to love myself no matter what. I'm not completely satisfied with the tummy part of things bc the stretch marks are so acutely visible, but my is did an amazing job creating a new shape for me. My bad for not asking more questions regarding my marks before going under I guess. I am however, super happy with my breasts. They are perky and wonderful. Love it!
I have to make sure to eat healthy or my body will react. It may have reacted before and I just didn't notice bc of the layer of skin, but I notice now!

So, so far so good. ;)
