Picture!

The pic of my abdomen as I promised!

Contemplating a TT!

So I am 7 months PO, I am back to school to finish my degree. I have been so busy I rarely visit RS these days. I just thought I would share a almost full picture just to give you an idea why I want a TT. My belly looks flat when I stand tall but when I sit down or lean forward you can see the bulge on my belly. You can see the extra skin. I thought cool sculpting would get rid of the bulge but I was told its extra skin and separated muscle and the only way to make it go away is by sewing the muscle back and removing the extra skin. Now the question is should I wait to have the TT so that I can finish my school first or just go ahead and have it anyway? I feel that TT is a more extensive surgery and the recovery is more intense than a BA. I am afraid that I may develop complication and it will prevent me from finishing school. All the abs workout and crunches do not take away this bulge!
However my breasts are doing good so far. They are super soft and It does not even feel like I have implants! They feel so natural. Sometimes I still think if I should have mine exchanged for a larger implants as I still feel small.. :-(
This is what happens when you are relatively tall with wide frame and smaller original breasts. This is why it is a good idea for tall and wide ladies to choose larger implants. But I don't want to mess up my current breasts. I like the way they look. I just have to wait and see and think hard before I touch them again!

Dr, West is absolutely the best and very caring and compassionate man you can ever have as your surgeon. I had a very horrible experience with my first surgeon. So after great consideration and much research I have decided to retain Dr. West to perform my revision surgery in February 2017. He was recommended to me by my friend as Dr. West did an excellent work with performing breast reconstruction surgery after double mastectomy on her friend. She also told me Dr. West is well known among the patients with breast cancer as he is not only very skilled with reconstructive surgery but also very compassionate towards his patients. I was very happy and satisfied with the way Dr. West and his PA Mychael explained everything to me during my consultation. I felt very confident with their knowledge and also felt comfortable with both of them. I feel that they will be able to help me out to overcome the issues I am experiencing right now and provide me with a result that I am looking for. The office at Orange is also very clean, cozy and welcoming. The support staff were also polite and welcoming. I will keep you posted with more updates after my surgery. Ok I am done with my surgery, I know it is a bit early to rate as I am still pretty fresh and haven't seen my final result yet. But up until now I am very happy with the work Dr. West has done on me. He fixed my deformed breasts!! They are still swelled up and still evolving but my breasts look like breasts now, they are not deformed! I still have a way to go with my recovery but I am loving my new look. The surgery it self was a breeze , the surgery center staff were also very kind and accommodating. My anesthesiologist was just awesome. I was given nausea medication and recovery was very smooth. Dr. West called me after I got home to make sure I was alright. He also spoke to my hubby to give him an update about my status. Every time I had any questions or concerns he was very prompt to email me with an answer or advise as if I was the only patient he had. Dr. West and his team are just amazing, you will not regret if you allow him to do your surgery. Thank you Dr. West, Mychael, Michelle and the team! May God bless you all for helping me to become the happy person again!!
