Had my TT and lipo on 4/13. My arms and chin are finally showing some improvement. I had aggressive lipo and I'm still sore in my flank area. My healing has been a journey but not one that I would ever regret, I'm doing well, much better than I thought I would at my age. God is good and I'm pleased with my results with the exception of my BB but I'm optimistic that it will also turn around...

Just wanting to show everyone my results so far. I'm pleased this far with my FLAT results but my BB is the exception and has some raised thick tissue as well as track marks from the stitches. Dr. C should use dissolvable inside stitches b/c those stitches he use leave those ugly railroad track marks on your skin. If my BB skin doesn't start to lay flat I'll seek a revision b/c that ruins my chance of ever wearing a cropped top or two piece bathing suit...sigh.

Thanks ladies!!! I guess the BB issue is common, I'm going to keep using the silicone strips on it until I go see Dr. C next month...

So I was concerned about my bb being a little on the small side so many folks suggested that I put a marble in it. I found a pack of marbles but they were 10 bucks and they looked too large. I decided to go to hobby lobby and purchase some beads from the jewelry making section b/c of the cost (a buck 50) and the multiple sizes. I settled on a pearl set that are a few mm smaller than the marble. It fit perfectly in my navel area and is completely round as well. So friends check out hobby lobby for your dirt cheap beads and surprisingly I found a loose marble on the floor, lol, so that was a plus...I feel good about the sizing of the pearl bead so I'm happy...yaaaaa.
