9 Months PO after scar revision New Pics. FTT,LIPO, BA- Birmingham, AL

Well it has been a long time since I have been here. After about 7 months is when I noticed a difference in how much I was swelling though I was still swelling every evening. I am almost 9 months out now and I no longer swell at night or at all for that matter unless I exercise alot in one day. I have gotten back in the excersice routine and am proud to say I am now back to 149lbs. Last post I showed pictures of my dog ear and went back on Nov 5th for a simple removal and revision but once I got there Dr.H thought I would not get optimal results unless he went in and did some extra lipo around the incision area and I happily agreed. The problem was I had already eaten that morning no knowing I was having anything done so I could not be put to sleep :-/ Not even twilight sleep. I was given Demeral and Phenergan in two seperate shots. One in my arm and one in my hip and then lidocain shots at the revision spot and the lipo incision then they used the canula to inject the rest of the lidocain inside my stomach. This is the same method used to do smart lipo under local. Let me tell you this.....I have never been in so much pain in my life. It truely was almost unbearable to me and I would never ever choose to do that again. With the pain in the past I will say the lipo made a HUGE difference in the way the incision looks and there are no more pooches over my hip bones as before. My dog ear revision is still covered with tape and that will be there for about 3 weeks and I will post pics once it comes off and the swelling from the new lipo goes away. I can tell you ladies who are in the waiting that I can honestly look at myself in the mirror and be proud. I feel amazing and I get compliments all the time and we all know how good that feels to have someone notice the difference. This is the best decision I have ever made for myself and I am a new woman because of it.

Well life is normal and moving quickly these days. I love my results and have never regretted having this procedure. Even with all the pain and long recovery it was worth all the pain, suffering, and money. I am very anxious to get back to my ps and have this dog ear taken care of bc it is bothering me probably more than ti should. When I am in the tub the end of the incision kinda floats up to a point and I find myself very self consious about it. But any panties I have cover it easily so it can only be seen when I am naked. I think it is more noticable because of my crappy tan line I have right now because I didn't want to tan my scar. I haven't had tan lines in years so it is weird for me. I usually go to tanning beds but trying to aviod them this year. I am tanning my BB scar and it is way less noticable now. I know you are not suppose to but that scar is already somewhat thicker and stands out more. Oh I had to have a mole removed on my breast which is what that red circle is on my breast in the picture. They had to biopsy it and I go back on Wednesday for the results but I am believing it is going to be fine. As far as my breast you can see a huge difference in there shape and size just from my 6 week pics. They look way more natural now than they ever have and I love them. If I would have gone any bigger it would have been really difficult to find a bra because my DD bras just fit in the cups. Almost over flowing but not so much that it looks too small. I have been excersizing now and then and I am down to 152lbs. I stand in my brothers wedding in two weeks and have been trying to get to 150 and I am going to do it. Well I guess thats it for now I hope everyone is doing great and I will post a pic periodic pics and updates in the next 3 months.
