Just had my surgery yesterday. It wasn't bad a at. Just a little discomfort. It does not look the best right now but I have to give it time to heal and I think it will turn out great. Hoping, crossing my fingers!

Wow, you look great! Did you get a revision, or did it get better on its own?

I need a revision, it's going to cost me 3,500 to get it done though. In the pic my pants are up higher on my waste to cover love handles.. They're still there.

Hi-this last pic looks great! I had a tt aug/13/14 and am finally starting to feel more like myself. Are you happy with your results? Hope so

I am happy that I can wear tummy shirts. Not happy with end result because I was expecting to come out love handle free which was my main focus and reason for going under..

It'll cost me an additional 3,500 that I had not intended on needed kng to pay as I was told that they would be taken care of initially when I had the surgery...

Looks great! I'd also like to know if you had a revision or did your love handles go away on their own?

I think your belly button came a long way & looks great. My belly button had the odd fake look on the beach a few months after, I was so self conscious & now it looks totally natural, you would never know. It really does take a longgggg time to heal from a TT, between swelling, scar, etc., I am talking almost a year til you see final results. I understand your love handle issue, there should not be that extra skin that you can grab like that! He should be able to easily revise that by a little lipo & removing the extra skin. It will not be a long hard recovery like a TT all over again as you are not having muscle repair etc. I had a scar revision & dog ear removal where chunks of skin was removed on my scar & sides & the skin sewn back tighter. Recovery was a breeze - a few days rest & then carefully up & about but nowhere near the pain or incapacity of a TT. I know it is hard & annoying to have to think about a revision of some sort. Have you read my journey, ugh! Take a look at my 2 reviews for TT & scar removal. It was a long road but I am thrilled & have no regrets. I think you look really great, your scar is so thin & your belly button is in a perfect spot, which is youthful - mine is like that & I love it - too low looks weird & unnatural. You are lucky that you have a nice thin scar - trust me, in a year from now you will hardly see it! Yours is so thin! Let us know how your appointment goes.

I hope your PS can revise it and remove some of that extra skin on the sides. That does look like quite a bit of skin that he could have removed.
January 26, 2015
Yeah, 3,500 MORE to have it removed..

I agree with you on the love handle. The front looks nice and flat though. Hope your PS can revise it for you.
January 26, 2015
Yeah, he will, for an additional 3,500.....!!!!

How are you doing? Any changes? Is your PS willing to revise the sides for you? Hope all is well!
January 26, 2015
He is NOT willing to revise. He is willing to do a posterior something that cuts them off and it's another 3,500 out of my pocket that I don't have that should have been taken care of in the first place. It's unbelivable.
