42 Year Old Yoga Instructor Getting a MM (Hernia Repair, TT, BA & Nipple Correction) - Belgium

It is hard to believe it has been 3 months already. I feel completely back to normal and don't even think about my surgery most days. I started walking and slow jogging at one month. By 6 weeks I was doing a lot more activity, and was teaching yoga classes again at 8 weeks. I credit my yoga practice with helping me with my recovery. I have been wearing my binder constantly and only stopped wearing it about a week ago. Now I feel perfectly fine without it. I have been wearing silicone tape over my scars since week 3. My TT scar is looking purple. I am unhappy about the "dog ear" on my left side. I hope it is something that can be fixed in the future. My belly button is looking more normal. I am putting a silicone ear plug into my belly button and taping it in. It seems to help keep my belly button in, but it pops back out after the ear plug is out. I think my boobs look natural. No one, except for my 7 year old daughter, has noticed a change. I think my boobs are still riding too high. I don't think they are going to drop anymore, so I will try to not obsess about them. I love the way my nipples look. My nipples are still over sensitive to touch. I am hoping with time this will stop.

Overall I am very pleased with my surgeries. I have a lot more confidence and really enjoy the way I look. I even modeled in a fashion show a couple of weeks ago! I would never have done that before because my body was so out of proportion. I am glad I took the plunge and went ahead with the surgeries!

Here are my 7 week post op photos. I must have been very cold because my nipples look purple! They normally look pink. Tomorrow morning I will take my 3 month photos and give an update on my recovery.

I haven't updated in over 2 months. I guess that means my recovery has been going so well I have stopped thinking about it. I took some photos at 5 weeks and at 7 weeks which I will post now.
