32 Years Old, 130 Lb Weight Loss- Tummy Tuck, Breast lift w/ aug, Thigh Lift - Chicago, IL

Saw Dr Kim today & got cleared to ditch my compression gear and resume normal activities!

He gave me 2 boxes of cicacare silicone strips with instructions to wear them for 8-9 hours per day, and to massage my incisions for 4 minutes four times per day.

He is very happy with how quickly I am healing and how my results have taken shape; however, he mentioned wanting to do touch ups of my inner thigh and in a couple of areas along my abdomen. His biggest issue is with my breasts and that they have settled lower than he would like. He wants to tighten them up. He will do all free of charge. Depending on what he wants to do with the breasts, j would have to pay anesthesia & OR fees.

Frankly, he is a perfectionist, which O dearly appreciate. I have just come so far already that I'm having a hard time feeling less than amazingly blessed. I've lost 140 lbs in just over a year, and even just my pre & post op form is night and day. Without all of that extra skin, I feel like a beautiful butterfly.

Hi all, was out in my swimsuit catching a few minutes of sunshine & snapped a couple pics of my thighs & incision for anyone curious in the healing process or scar associated with a vertical thigh lift.

Also included is my tummy - flat! But with my stretch marks (frankly I don't care all that much about them. Where I am from where I've come is an outrageous difference & I have trouble working up dissatisfaction even with my scars.

Please note my thigh scars are not visible when standing in front of someone they are on the inner thigh all the way toward the back where my hamstrings are. Love the placement- hidden as much as possible.

I see Dr Kim again this Thursday to begin scar treatment therapy so Ill update once we've decided on a plan.
