Feeling better everyday but still swollen. I need to get my old belly button touched up because you can see where I used to have my belly ring. Other than that I am happy so far with results.

You look fantastic. So the purple tape is that the kind that is suppose to help scarring because your's looks so faint.
The only thing that has helped with my surgery being postponed is I've really found out a lot of info on what I'd like done. Didn't know how to explain what I'ld like my boobs to look like, that will be the next surgery after the belt Lipectomy. But I started looking at different profiles (Had to admit this really is embarrassing felt like I was looking at [RS bleep], I can't even watch a X rated film with out being embarrassed) guess that's what being old does for you, but I found a set of boobs I like to have.
But how do you know the right questions to ask? Want them to look natural, feel natural, love to not have fall under your arms when you lay down or look like a bean bag when you lean over. When I scoop them up I wear a 40DDD. Would love to have some clevage that's not wrinkled. Don't want to be huge but want to look sexy if I want to. Guess I still have time to find some answers there.
You look great

Here are my one week post op photos. I am very pleased with my results thus far. Stopped taking pain meds and started driving already. I am still really swollen but love the way I look in jeans now and can finally wear my fitted shirts without being ashamed of any love handles.

I've had two tt...One similar to yours and a revision this summer. You look great. What ever you do please refrain from romantic encounters for 6 weeks. I didn't with my first and I ended up with severe denting and a ton of scar tissue that plagued me for 8 years it takes the abdominal wall a ton of time to heal and relations puts pressure on the abdomen wall and disrupts it before it has set. Wear your binder or spanx too for ever! It will help any lumps and bumps which during the day to smooth out at night. I mention it only because I know a lot of surgeons won't tell you how long to wait. We feel better we look great and then later down the line we notice our gorgeous new stomach has sunken in or dented etc. Just wanting to mention it from personal experience
