It’s been almost 2 years since my procedure. Just turned 50. I think I’m in the best shape of my life. I exercise to keep up on the huge investment I have made in myself, and that really keeps me motivated to keep it up. I think it’s the best $ I ever spent. 50 IS fabulous, thanks to Dr Holt.

From this...to this, in 9 months.
Wonderful.
Still swell at night, especially in the summer heat and humidity, but always gone by morning.

You look wonderful ❤️❤️
Even though I thought your before pics were nice too. You looked really fit.
I hope I go through with it. I am a big chicken lol!!
But glad you thought exparel helped you.
Did you have a lot of pain during your recovery process?

Not a lot of pain, just uncomfortable. I thought week 4 post op was the hardest, after that things really turned for the best. Get a walker to use the first few weeks, that's what saved me the most. Good luck!

Can't believe it's been 9 months since my "tuck n suck" . I thought I'd update on my progress. I'm pretty much back to my old self. Gym routine is finally back on track, that took a good 6 months. The only inconvenience I have is the numbness from my belly button down to my pubic hairline.
I wore the compression garments until middle of March.
question? Did anybody have a big weight gain after you stopped the cg? I did! Was down about 10 pounds, and gained 7 pounds in a week. I've been trying for months to get that weight off, but no luck.
I think my scar looks pretty good and very smooth. I use cocoa butter and Mederma.
Posting a few pics of where I'm at now. Feeling no regrets having this procedure done.
