In 4 more days, I will be officially 5 months...
WORTH IT$8,500
In 4 more days, I will be officially 5 months post-op! Time seems to have gone by so quickly. I added some new pictures (dated 10/5/12)... I need to work on gettig the comparison ones together again. As you can see, my swelling is (and has been for a while) completely gone! This summer I got to wear my bikini and it was awesome! Dr. V did my revisions the last time I updated here and no more dog ears! The healing for the revisions was way easier too - only needed a day down time and I healed much faster than the initial tummy tuck...probably because the areas were smaller. The scarring is looking much better, and I have been using my Biocorneum scar cream too. I had to stop for a few weeks while the revisions healed. Now the scars are much less red and not raised at all. Hopefully in a few months they will be barely recognizable.
Anyway, thing are going well and I haven't had any issues. I'm thrilled with my results and would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm thinking about some thigh lipo for next spring but we'll see how working out pays off for me....
Until next time....

Sorry for my very late response... The revision healing was a breeze. I think I only needed one day downtime and within 2 days I was on rollercoasters at a theme park. I did the revision in office under local anesthesia and it was so easy.

Shut the front door !!! You look really great !! It is weird looking at your tummy and there are no tattoos ?? Thanks for posting...glad the revision was not a setback , a roller coaster , wow. You are doing awesome !! Continued happy healing...

Thank you! It is weird to not have the tattoos anymore but I honestly didn't like them anyway. I still have one small petal on my right hip - he said it would have caused weird scarring if he made another incision downward...so I still have a reminder that they were once there lol.

Sorry ladies for the delay in pictures. I tried...
Sorry ladies for the delay in pictures. I tried uploading some but all the pictures I take with my phone are blurry (there are 2 new ones). I'm going to get some pictures taken at the docs office again tomorrow so they will be consistent.
Small update: even though I had the revisions done on Wednesday, I went to a theme park yesterday and was able to ride all the rollercoasters no problem. Today I had a tiny bit of swelling so I put my garment back on. I also had to take some Ibuprofen yesterday and today but overall no problems. The areas that were revised are a little swollen and bruised as to be expected.
