Please help ladies, I am feeling frustrated since I cannot find tops that are appealing to wear now! Well, if I find chiffon tops; I look like a sponge bob square pants, lol! If I wear fitted tops, it shows my mommy pooch and love handles! I don't know what to do, I kind of regret not getting the lipo now but I was terrified of the pain and the recovery since I have a toddler to take care of, so I just did the BA! Please, if you have any tips for me, it just ordered some high waisted jeans so hopefully this will minimize my mommy pooch so can wear fitted tops!

Girl, what pooch are u talking about!?!? I think u look amazing. I got lipo in hopes of having a stomach like yours!
May 16, 2015
Oh youvare so sweet! Thanks babe, I am sure you look amazing! It shows when I wear tight stuff, I don't know! I guess I need to adapt and find clothes that work! When did you have your lipo and how was your recovery like?
May 16, 2015
Oh that's right, you just had it! You look amazing btw, I am so excited for you! Isn't Dr Ross amazing!

He's quite a unique guy, and I loved every bit of him. He says it like it is which I loved! And listen, no one is going to notice any pooch with those beauties on ur chest!
May 16, 2015
You look great!! I don't see your mommy pooch at all!! I wear 2 tanks to help hide my tummy. Have done it for years.
May 16, 2015
Thanks babe...I am hoping the high waisted jeans will help, it only happens when I wear jeans? I am not sure why, my friend told is because I am wearing the wrong cuts, hope she's rights because this pooch is not coming off and I am not giving up my chocolate habit, lol...how are you, I ve been worried about you! How's the wound coming along???

Seriously you look amazing and I personally don't even see a pooch! But I love target tank tops and I also never wear anything but high waisted pants so I'm sure you'll feel better when you get yours bc they do help a lot!
May 16, 2015
OMG, I am so glad you shared that with me because this is my first time ordering the high waisted ones, from express, and I ahopingbit will make a difference! I am heading to Target today, so excited! thanks doll!

Its sounds silly..but i think Target has the best basic tank tops ever. They get super soft..wash great..and are long enough to not ride uo..and have the perfect shoulder strap width to make your boobs not look boxy. Dont but the rinbed one though..they are too tight and hug the mommy pooch. ( been there). .Just get the basic tanks in the unribbed soft cotton..theu make your boobs look like a million bucks.

Thanks doll, I actully love Target, I will definitely check it out! So any particular brands there or just their basics?

Btw..i don't see a mommy "pooch" either..but i get the same thing..when i have tank tops that are skin tight..i hate the need to suck in my tummy so it's flat..because no mater how thin..there is still this rounded bulge from the muscles that never quite went back together.lol

Thank you dear!
May 13, 2015
You look incredible! I don't think you should have went bigger at all, you made the perfect choice!!! You don't want cleavage without a bra on, that's not natural at all. With a regular bra you'll have a ton of cleavage. Give it two more weeks you'll be so happy!

Congrats. Just curious as to why you choose over the muscle?
May 13, 2015
It was my PS decision, and I agreed! I have lots of lose skin from breast feeding and enough tissue, I hope I made the right decision! My husband likes the natural look, he didnt want it to sit high up, and this way I can push them up or leave them where they are for more natural look and have amazing side boobs, lol!
May 14, 2015
I went over the muscle as well because my PS thought i had enough tissue. I am glad I did because i would look crazy with high pushed up breasts. One of the nurses said the best thing to me though. She said you can always play them up with a push up bra but you can never play them down if you don't want them all out there. I totally agreed with her and it made me feel better about the size i picked! good luck, yours look awesome. I hope i am on the same path as you we have similar day 1 pictures and pre-op pics!
May 15, 2015
Thank you love, I feel the same way! I feel like I can play them up or down and never have that fake look so I am very pleased! I am going to look at your pictures, I am sure you look amazing!

A little bit of discharge is ok if it is not the color of infection. Just keep an eye on it. If it becomes red and warm to the touch call him again. I would put some gauze there so you can see the color of the discharge. Don't tape it on just stick it in your bra.
May 6, 2015
Good Idea I will add some gauze, thank you...this is such a nerve wrecking process, I can't wait until we are all healed up, especially you...how are you feeling, is the pain bad?
May 6, 2015
My pain hasn't been to bad the past couple of days. It looks awful but I had more energy today. I just can't wait till this is all in the past!!
