My contour miracle
WORTH IT$7,600
I realize I haven't posted many pictures of my torso since day 10. I looked over my last few posts and it appears like I have been mainly fixated on my belly button. Yup, kinda true...but I have to say the last couple weeks I have looked at probably a hundred BB's ---psycho---I know...
I have compared BB's from top surgeons and beyond from everywhere in the US to foreign countries...Thanks Real Self! ...What I did realize is how "fickle" belly buttons are. But I also learned that my BB isn't so bad after all. Give or take a little ball of skin, maybe I will ask my PS to minimize it or maybe I won't. I don't know yet...
Anyway what I really want to show you is the progress from my aggressive back and flank lipo. Yup my PS had to do a number on me to get all that fat out! 2 liters worth...gross, but I desperately needed it. I can tell my back is still a little swollen and has a few slightly sore spots. My belly is still swollen (holy cow it's bad in the evenings) but that's to be expected.
Something I would like to share about myself is that I have been a military wife for 17 years and have endured 5 deployments (Iraq and Afghanistan) and given birth 4 times. I have gained and lost weight too many times to count during these events. I felt depressed for YEARS about my midsection, especially when going clothes shopping. NOW---Ball gown shopping...no
problem!...Orders to Hawaii...bring it on!....This is by far one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
I will update more before and afters soon. Good luck and happy healing!

Timeline of a Belly button....
As requested here is the transformation of my BB.
I love the side profile of my new belly!!! However, when I look at myself straight on I'm not thrilled with the "ball of skin" in my BB. It isn't exactly how I imagined but overall I am pleased. I just wish the ball of skin was smaller.

Rambling update
So far so good. But.....
I have all my energy back and trying to walk as much as I can...... my back is still sore from all the lipo...But NO more back fat!
My shirts haven't looked so good on me in years......my contour looks a little unbalanced, my hips seem larger than before..... But NO more "gut"!
My belly button healed great......still has a little ball in the middle...But looks so natural, not a single stitch line visible!
One way to describe this journey......hurts like hell....but completely worth it, No pain No Gain!
Continued wishes for happy healing!
