Nope they just spread under my Breasts and on my TT they are raised... They weren't like that to start with. Just the way I healed even though I didn't expect to heal that way. Dr Hughes said he can do a scar revision, but I can't afford the costs to have that done right now.

19 mths since surgery

Well ladies it's been 19 months since my surgery.... The big questions... Was it worth it? If I could go back would I do it again?
When I had my surgery I was going through a very difficult time in my life. And I feel the decision to have this major very expensive surgery was made at a time When I was not in the right state of mind to make such a decision. I was in a very self centered state of mind... I guess trying to some how escape from the other things going on that I couldn't control. I think that over all in life I was NOT in a place financially to have this surgery. My husband and I financed the entire thing with care credit and also 2 credit cards. My husband was laid off from his offshore job a few months after surgery....And I now feel I'm drowning in this debt that I'll have for a very very long time. :-(
Am I happy with My body? Well I was originally extremely happy. But since then I've gained about 15-20 lbs. It was difficult for me to notice the weight at first because I wasn't gaining it in the same places I always had before. But I do have to say that I still look pretty good even 20 lbs heavier! I do have pretty terrible scars though and I didn't expect to heal that way. I have spoken to Dr Hughes about a revision, which of course he would do, but that would cost another $5000 after travel and anesthesia costs etc. And I just can't bring my self to spend even more money on it at this point.

Was the recovery terrible? It was very rough at first but I expected that. I had pain in my sides and lower back from the Lipo for almost a year, and now even 19 mths after surgery my lower belly is still numb.

I will try to up date some photos later today for any one interested.

I hope this helps any one looking to have this surgery.

Doll, perhaps reading the book or watching the movie/documentary, "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, and applying the teachings, might help you with your financial situation and other life matters. Give it a good go. My life is fabulous thanks to this. You can also visit the website TheSecret.TV

All the best, sweet doll :)))
