Hi you look great! Your revision turned out beautifully. Im 4mos po and I ready need a TT revision. I already talked to my ps abt that but Im just waiting to finish healing. My lower abs are not flat at all. I don't know what happened but we definitely know that it's not swelling anymore. It started out flat for abt two weeks and went to pot after that and I haven't gained anything so I know it's not me gaining weight bc I weight the same (bf TT 121 after 115) and I'm maintaining that weight through exercise. When I seen him in Aug, he told me that I have to workout my lower abs to get the results that I want so I've been doing that with no change. Did the same ps do your original TT or did you pick someone new. Why was it so cheap if you don't mind me asking. I don't know if I should go to another ps to give me the results that I want or stick with who I have and let him get a second chance at it. But I'm afraid Im still not going to have the results that I want. Another ps might charge me full price for a TT and the ps that I have probably charge me hospital fees. My ps told me to wait 6mo to see if there if any change but I know that my stomach is going to look the same in November. It's strange that you get different results by different PS's but I guess some are better than others. Take care.

How's everything going now? Sorry for the so very late response. I haven't followed up on here in a while. I just got the RS app so now u can keep up!
Between my hubby and I, we keep our PS pretty busy so he usually gives us a better deal. He was the surgeon who originally did the TT. Now I'm consulting for breast lift with or without implants....can't decide.
Take Care! Hope you're well.

Hiya! Im now 7mos po but was too busy to post in dec. Im very satisfied with my results, although i had to pay full price for the TT but it was well worth it. I changed ps,s bcause the old ps told me tht he was going to take the extra skin off and tht,s it, he said tht my muscle tightening was tite as it could get. He lied wen i was 4mos telling me tht if i workout my abs, my stomach would be flat and tht nevr happened, he told me he would do it ovr again if i wasnt satisfied. Tht was a lie so i just searched for another ps, someone tht i should have went to in the first place. The first ps said my stomach would end up crinkly and with skin hanging in six months if he did my stomach again and i didnt want to spend money on him and still not be satisfied. However the first ps did a very good job on my scar. Wen the second ps did my surgery, the ends of my scar bunches up a little and he also took a little too much fat on my rite side abv my hip but atleast i dont have any skin at all on my stomach, i still need definition in my abs bcause i still have poor muscle tone, i always had tht but i do workout. All and all im still glad tht i went to another ps to get second TT. Just go get another opionio, it wont hurt. Take care!

So happy
Well I'm back in favourite jeans with the no muffin top. I have noticed a huge difference. It took a while for the swelling to go down and for that burning under the skin feeling to go away, but now I feel amazing! I have noticed I'm a little more tender on my flanks if my husband tickles me or grabs my waist. I think that'll take a while to go away. This is definitely something I would recommend for someone that's having a hard time with that stubborn fat. I am definitely a true believer. My scar revision from my previous TT is great too. It's still a little visible, but it's slowly diminishing. I'm using mederma everyday. I'm just one of those ppl that scar easily. I wore the garment for 3 mths to go to sleep at night. I noticed by wearing it it kept me secure so if I'd stretch a night in my sleep it wouldn't burn as much on the flanks where the procedure took place. It also helped with the swelling A LOT! I'm extremely satisfied. I wish I would have done the inside of my thighs while in there. So if you're contemplating on which spots to do, really consider doing all of it. All the best out there!
