Overall I'm happy with my results . I am lil concerned with shape of bb( looks to be healing with a slant to it ) My scar is healing ok , except a small area in middle . Keeping it cleaned & new gauze everyday .
Swelling has been minimal , however that can't go away soon enough ! Really really MISS the gym !

Thanks lol think they look even bigger now that waist is smaller ... Whoa ! Still not cleared ( PO in 2wks) Plus I'm a lil concerned about middle of scar looks a lil open :-( changing gauze everyday .

Take a picture of the middle. Maybe I can help? I had an open incision so I would not want that for you. Make sure you call your PS to have him check it out right away. If the opening is tiny, keep it dry with a dry gauze. Good luck!

It is small .,, I've called and left 2 msg for PS & sent a pic .
I'm keeping it cleaned and covered with dry gauze :-) I'll compare my pics on Friday to see if it's improving .

My 1st BA was in 1999 ( I was 25) I did saline & under the muscle . Tiny incision on bottom of areola. Couldn't even see scar . My 2nd BA w/ BL was 2014 (40yrs old ) I replaced implants with silicone under muscle again . Scar this time was all around areola and line down bottom of breast .

Thank you ! Just measured this morning 26 1/2 inches - WOW
I was 29-30 in before surgery . Having the MR with TT really helped to bring that waist back in ! No more square look . Hour glass -YES!!

Loving my shape !
Today I feel really good . Ready to have my life back :-) Drove my car today & I was fine . Nice to have the sun on my face . In these pics I have leosonia body shaper on under my leggings . Still need lots of compression , as I'm swollen in lower abdomen. Strips are still covering my incision so haven't seen it yet . Really miss working out !!! So for now trying to eat clean . Only able to eat small portions - that s helpful . Have a great day ladies :-)

Love it. I'm starting to get really frustrated :( Not working out is setting in emotionally and physically. My ass cellulite is coming in full force and really getting me down. I hate feeling so flabby. Longest time not working out in 4 years :(

We just need to be patient ( so hard) wouldn't want to ruin the overall results we will see once the gym is back on the schedule . Ps I hate what this is doing to my ass too - ugh squeezing my cheeks as I type lol we got this Girl ! I feel like in 2 weeks doing a few light exercise s should be fine :-)

Lol booty squeezing love it haha yes I'm definately going to try a few light things and walking next week. Don't wanna ruin any of this amazing tuck work :) Just hard emotionally when I'm used to that as my outlet. Feeling out of my element

I am having surgery with him on March 23rd I'm so excited ? Any advice you can give me ? How long did he leave the drains In ? I want a shape just like yours !

My surgery went well ( positive attitude ) for ride home put something under your feet ( box) helps to keep you bended while sitting . For the first 3 days ( hardest) just take meds , drink water , eat fruit , soup & sleep !
Day 5 I had my PO and he removed drains . Didn't hurt . Swelling is the most uncomfortable part of this for me ... So I'm eating tiny portions , low salt or no salt foods . I can't wait to start waist training and working out again . Good luck to you :-) ask me anything .

Awesome yea you look great & thanks for the response . So you do go home the same day cause I know paper work said the next day . An yea I figured food with no salt would be recommended cause the swelling . How was walking to the car right after surgery ? The drains are the one thing that really freaks me out

G
March 4, 2016
Yes went home and I'm glad I did ! Nice to be back home as long as you have help . A hospital stay only if someone is considered high risk . They will wheel you right out to car . My husband pulled right up to front so no walking :-) Doc gave me a nerve block so didn't feel any pain for hours maybe even the next day . The drains didn't really bother me ( just be careful of them ) I pinned them up on binder . You will need a recliner though !!! I have a recliner bed so I spent 10 days in it - Healing ! I'm still reclined a lil when I sleep but going down each night just a lil more . And lots of pillowes , neck pillow too . I used a shower chair for the first 3-4 showers .

I will rent a recliner for a month then I know it's only 1 something for it . But ok thank you for all your help your awesome ! An i can't wait to see how you continue to progress ! You look amazing

He removed my drains on day 5 and yes the out put had almost stopped . However I still could tell there is fluid inside . It's slowly going down .

Did you get your belly button done too? How are you feeling? I haven't had any meds today! Just a painkiller last night cuz my lower back is so sore

He pulled my bb thru new skin since the skin was pulled down . Looks like I'll have scar from old bb hole . He didn't know if that would happen during our consult . So after surgery he said not enough loose skin to cut it out . Just hope scar heals good so I don't notice it after a yr . Just taking half a pill for pain when needed . Swelling is uncomfortable from time to time . Need more sleep !!!

I look quite a bit like your before pic smh. Also have a sad bb due to scarring from prior laparoscopic tubal ligation. Dr. D also told me I would need a TT but I keloid so I know my final result would not be pretty as far as the scar is concerned. You're shape is already looking incredible, happy healing!

G
February 25, 2016
So a scar is your only hold up ? Some women will cover scar with tattoo ... Not my thing , but would consider it if this scar is too much for me to look at everyday . I've learned you can get belly chain looking tats in a gold / silver color . Things to consider if a raised scar is holding you back ;-)

C
February 26, 2016
Yes. I have scars now from the incisions Dr.D had to do for the bbl. Plus a keloid is a raised scar, a tat can't hide that. And mine are dark red and sensitive. Oh well, no belly shirts for me.

OMG sis your body is amazing. Yasssss boo!!! OMG his TT work is great. I may just go to him for that as well sis. I am definitely going for my BBL! I am loving your results and I wish you nothing but happy and speedy healing.
