I'm so excited to have that skin gone! No more tucking in the tummy, no more tummy "clapping" while doing jumping jacks, running etc. No more tearing of the skin during exercise and it lifted my "nonni" several inches which with all the loose skin I had has improved mine and my husbands sex life! I didn't know we could have sex without pain, tearing, bleeding after kids so that was an added bonus. My TT scar is a little high and there are some small "dog ears" that my surgeon will be revising in October. My scar is a little hard to cover in the middle, it raised quite a bit in the middle during the healing but even with that the results are great.
Now, the breasts. At first I was terrified I had gone too big because they were sitting so high! But just like my surgeon said, they just needed to drop. I'm 5'3.5" 145 lbs (with the implants) and a size 4-6. I'm Hispanic and have HIPS so going from a natural D to an E when pregnant and then an A after kids I was desperate for breasts again. I also have a large and wide rib cage and my ribs stuck out more than my breasts. After my breasts settled I was so happy, they are perfect for the width of my chest and my hips (450cc). Being Hispanic I tend to scar dark, I knew this but my surgeon wasn't thrilled with the color of my scars after surgery so he's lasering them to help (no additional cost) which is above and beyond plus the revisions he has planned on my tummy. So happy I did this!

Worried about my TT scar
I've read that sometimes with swelling your scar may seem higher than what it will finally be. Is this true? I'm getting nervous (I'm 9 days post op) but my scar seems too high. It's right above my hipster panties. Is it too early to start stressing?

It might be a little early to stress. You might not have had enough skin to pull down though. I wouldn't fret too much. Its very likely to improve over time. You could put this pic up for the doctors and ask tyoir question to see what they have to say. You're looking good. So skinny! :)
