One year anniversary of one of the most nerve wracking thing I've ever done and I'm so glad I did it. My tummy tuck looks fantastic. I feel fantastic. My breasts look great and lay in that natural way that I was hoping for. Not too big, not too small. Very pleased. My only thoughts on what I would like different (will we always pick on our bodies, even when they look great?!) ....but not a big enough deal that I would ever change anything. My breasts still have that slight double bubble underneath. I'm the only one that will ever notice it though. My husband says you can barely see it and my brain is making it bigger than it is. You can't see it in bras or swimwear. The second thing is my belly button, its just scarry looking still at this point. He did a revision 6 months ago, so I'm still looking forward to seeing what it looks like once time goes by and the scar lightens more. I am so happy with the results though! I feel great, I've been working out everyday and building muscle. I'm not much of a winter runner but I try to maintain myself to get me through to spring. I am about 10 lbs over where I want to be weight wise so looking forward to continue to sculpt out my body.

We are what, 7 months post op now? I couldn't be happier. I had revisions on my slight dog ears and my belly button reshaped per the doctor's wishes. Since I was going in anyway using just local anesthetic he also lipoed around my incision line just to smooth it out. All at no cost. With all the follow ups and revision surgery, I haven't had to pay an additional dime and there were no hidden fees. Plus I got a free chemical peel at my last appointment. It felt amazing.
I'm back to running. I ran my fastest 10k time in my lifetime last night. woo woo! nothing like being 31 with 3 kids and being in the best shape of my life. I feel great and my confidence in my body is off the charts. My breasts still have a slight line where the crease used to be. but its not so noticeable and I attribute the lower placement to the absolutely natural look they have! My husband Loves everything! I will post a review on the Doctor soon since I'm officially finished! I'll hopefully get some photos up too! I'm so satisfied with making the best decision for myself, my marriage, my future mental and physical well being. It such a good motivator to stay in shape!!!

Ok, Major photo update.
Everything is going well for the healing process. When the steri strips came off the presence of slight dog ears was noted at the three week appointment. He said if those are still there after 3-6 months he will cut the extra skin off and smooth it out, no problem. So I have no worries about that but I did post pictures of them just to show. My BA healing still keeps me in check when I over do it. But I'm slowly able to do more and more. My tummy tuck healing still tingles. He is having me scar massage starting week four and able to start mederma or silicone strips if I choose. I don't go back in to see him until week 6.
I am very happy with the results. the more the swelling goes down the more natural and "me" they are looking. all my 36c bra's I wore towards the end of nursing fit great. I think I will probably fit even better in 34 d's. The 375cc's has been the perfect size, not too big, not too small.
One odd thing I have noticed and I think it will change with time and perhaps once I'm a loud to start wearing underwires. My fold in my breast, by the incision sticks out (forward) slightly, I think this is due to scar tissue and the implant sitting right on top of it. I posted a photo, the fold is about
