2 1/2 years after makeover changes (lost more weight)

WORTH IT$12,501
Being close to my weight goal when doing the makeover was really good for my results overall. About a year ago, I decided I wanted to be strong and not just skinny so I started lifting weights. I would not have the abs I have now without the tummy tuck and the muscle repair. It may have come eventually but I love seeing it anyway. However, it did affect my breast lift with implants. Obviously loosing fat through the whole body is a good thing for long term health but it sucks for my boobs. Of course we women can notice even the slightest changes so while loosing fat/gaining muscle is a wonderful thing, it certainly changes some things. The good out weigh the bad! That said, I wish I had been at my weight goal when I had my surgery but from then until now is only about an 8 lb difference but the fat loss and muscle changes make it seem like more. There are days I love my decision until it comes to wanting to wear a low cut bikini but those days are few and far between!
Either way, anyone who has had this surgery and works to maintain know it wasn’t an “easy way out”. It’s extremely hard work to maintain or even get “better” and boost your fitness after.
For scars, my surgeon was very skilled but I also used embrace and sunscreen under swimsuits on scars when outside for the first summer the following year to get the best results possible.

So my breast scars healed amazing. I’ve got the breasts I wanted 100%. Dr. Plovier met every expectation I had. For something that isn’t his fault at all is my tummy tuck scar. I moved to a tropical island 6 months post surgery. I’m afraid that my sunscreen and covering up my scar at all times didn’t work as well as I hoped. I even put sunscreen on under my clothes or swimsuit. I don’t know if it’s still healing or just discoloured. I’m hoping it’s just discoloured and using bio oil may help. I’ll have another update in 3 months with the bio oil.

You look fantastic! I just read your entire journey. You have some great tips! I appreciate your insights... especially regarding “quack docs” that will “do anything you tell them”. It’s looks your PS served you well! I also traveled for my surgery and used Embrace scar therapy. Your scars look great! Discoloration can take up to a couple years (or longer) to completely fade. At least that’s been the case with me with prior surgeries. Wishing you the best! :-)

I think your tummy tuck scar looks amazing!! I don't think it's to high at all...your body is amazing!!!

how long after your breast lift did you start using the embrace on it & how long did you keep using it for?
June 30, 2018
I started less than 2 weeks and went 2 or 3 months post? It was a long time but worth it!

Hi i just wanted to know if you was to do the whole procedure again would you get both tummy tuck and uplift together? Thanks
June 30, 2018
Absolutely. The uplift just made recovery a bit longer but no more painful I don’t think. It was doable and I’m glad once I was healed, I didn’t have to look forward to another surgery.

No new changes except lightening of the scars! It's still 3 months until a year anniversary for my surgery. My breasts look amazing and the scarring is what I hoped for and not done yet! I moved to a tropical island so I'm still keeping my scars covered from the sun. Unfortunately my tummy tuck scar ended up too high so I'm not able to wear a regular bikini but that's no fault of Dr. Plovier. He's beyond skilled but I think I was right at that edge of having not enough skin to pull lower. These pics don't make me look too curvy but I am. I workout a lot still and finally getting abs coming through. Don't mind my granny panties, it was laundry day! Haha!

You look fantastic! Your incisions have healed beautifully! You must be ecstatic!

My breast scars are amazing. It's all because of the doctors skills and embrace. Pretty sure once it's completely healed, you won't be able to see my breast scars at all. Stomach is another story but it's still healing and it is much larger. Thank you for the kind words!

Wow looking amazing! Just wondering if you have any earlier pics of your breasts? Tomorrow marks 2 weeks post op from my lift and small implants.. obviously still early days.
Did you do anything before using embrace for your scars? X

No I don’t have before pics of my breasts but I breastfed 3 babies, 1 for 2 years at that and lost 50lbs before the surgery. They were shot! I started using embrace about a month or 2 weeks post surgery. Enough time to completely seal before placing embrace on but shortly after. I’m a year and half post surgery now and am using bio oil on my tummy tuck. I moved to a tropical island about 6 months post surgery and I’m worried I may not have done as well as I should have on sunscreen on my tummy tuck scar so I’m using bio oil to see what happens to lighten it up some. I’ll post some update pics tomorrow.

Your boon job scar is awesome.. almost invisible! Just started my embrace today hopefully will give me good result.
Oh and we have the same issue with tummy tuck, a bit too high. But I'm just happy to have my tummy flat again hehehe

How long did you wear your compression garment? Each day all day? Or 12 hours per day?
