Two years post-op

WORTH IT$8,500
Posting pictures 2 years and 3 months post-surgery. Hands down, the best thing I’ve done for myself. I’m so much more confident and carefree, I wear whatever I want and know I look and feel great. The only criticism I I feel my belly button healed a little small, but it doesn’t really bother me.

Dr. Randolph is excellent - she was very thorough at explaining the procedure and took her time to answer all of my questions. I never felt rushed or that I was taking too much of her time; she truly cares about her patients and goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. She was reassuring and understands the risks, complications, and side effects of the surgery and I felt well-informed and confident in my decision as a result. My mother (caretaker post-op) was also very impressed with her knowledge, and her office staff are friendly and helpful. The outpatient facility (located in the same building) is also top-notch and I'd highly recommend!

Swelling at 4 months PO

So things have been going great, I've been back to the usual routine for awhile now. Since I have a desk job and I'm still up 5 lbs since surgery, I recently started trying to increase my activity throughout the day - standing more, walking around the department for a couple minutes, etc.

WHOA.

Coincidentally or not, my swelling is back big-time. My scar is fine, but my overall abdomen (scar to bottom of ribcage) is puffy - I look seriously bloated.

My skinny jeans STILL don't fit because my love handle/hip area is also puffy and/or swollen (had some lipo there with the TT). Don't mistake what I'm saying - I LOVE my results and would do it all again in a heartbeat. I'm just ready for my favorite jeans to fit again!

Checking in

Almost 3 months PO, I'm having a slightly itchy burning type of pain around my incision and lipo areas - the healing continues. I look better in jeans than I ever have, though my skinny jeans don't fit yet.
