The photos are only of my tummy. My breasts haven't dropped and don't look different. Doc says it will take time but it's better to go slow than fast. I had my appointment last Wednesday and am no longer using scar strips and am no longer using a binder during the day or night. I'm wearing all my normal clothes (I was hesitant about jeans shorts without the cushion between the scar and shorts but all is well!). I'm running 3 mornings a week at 4+ miles. I've only done 4 runs so far and holy moly 6-7 weeks off does a number. I'm not back to my normal pace but it's not my torso that bothers me. I think it's just getting back in shape. I've been fighting an ear infection too so that might also be part of it. I'm going to start lap swims once or twice a week this week also. I was given the no restrictions green light also and feel great!!!

Great results!! I am almost 4 weeks post op and starting to feel like my old self at least a little. Hoping to start running again next week. Yay!

Ahh! Congrats! Time is just flying now! It's crazy to think it felt like eternity that first week to two weeks post op! Let me know how it goes! Good luck!

You look AMAZING!!!!! I feel the same way, sometimes I forget I had surgery! We sure didn't think that would be the case 6 weeks ago did we lol.

Girl you look amazing! Rock it! I almost didn't see the scar. I'm going in July and I'm so fing scared. I wear my thongs low like you!

Thank you!! Yeah... My scar couldn't be that low without a long vertical scar due to the upper area being tighter. I'm ok with it though! The scar has gotten so much better it's blowing my mind! My pants go right over it... Waistline is right there for jeans and stuff. I didn't wear bikinis before so I'd say it's still an improvement! They have some that up that high if I want one. My tankini bottoms were low though so I'll probably find another. And my one pieces are cute. Who knows! Maybe the scar will be so awesome the tankini I have will look ok but I know probably wouldn't do a low bikini since the sun makes scars worse.. Either way, I'm rocking the bedroom and my pain from before the muscle repair is gone and I'm flat!! I'm a happy girl!

6 Weeks Post Op!! I FEEL AMAZING!

I skipped a week but it seemed like not much had changed, just progressively getting better. I've been doing my massages and my MUTU and Tuppler TVA ab strengthening exercises. I feel amazing. This last week has been a huge turning point I think. I don't even think about my boobs or tummy at all during the day! I'm just wearing spanx type thong panties that go almost to bra line, some are lower (designed for lower tummy control) and I haven't noticed any increase in swelling. I've been rough housing with my kids on the ground and having a blast. I've even taken the bob running stroller out with my 20 month old! Oh and I'm on my period and no extra swelling either! I'm pretty much fitting in ALL of my clothes from pre-surgery. None of the jeans irritate my incision or anything. I am officially allowed to wear underwire but haven't tried yet. Most of my bras have padding (minus three) and I really need one that is a nude color so before investing I want to wait another week probably. I don't have any without padding that are nude. Unfortunately I have 3 brand new bras that have padding (which make them not fit) that are 32D which I think will still be my size or 32DD (which is my non underwire one I have on right now, it's black.) Anyway! YAY! I'm still doing my scar treatment, for another two weeks I think and then will see. My scar is actually a white line in some areas!! It seems like the skin around the scar is darker still but I suppose that will fade too and I expect the scar to get more red before it gets better again (at least that is my understanding, that it gets worse in color again before it gets better). YAY! I'll post pics in a few. My implants are still dropping...but that's ok! :) Happy healing!

What are you doing for scar treatment? You look great!!!

Thank you! I'm using silicone strips! I leave them on all the time but showering. Almost two weeks ago I left them off a couple days to moisturize and have continued since. I will probably stop in about 10 days after my next appointment. The healing is done at that point so doc said it doesn't do much after that. If it does start to rise and thicken I can start using them again though. It is perfectly flat though. I'm very happy!
