Sorry I haven’t checked in for a while! I’ve been super busy with work so I’ve tried to really be present with the kiddos when I’m not running around like a crazy woman. I’m feeling great overall! I still have tenderness and muscle soreness in my tummy but I’m trying to workout the best that I can. I’ve been able to maintain my weight, which I’m really proud of. I just really want to tone up now. I have an appointment next week and I’m hoping she clears me for weight lifting. I feel good so I’m sure it’ll be fine.
My breasts have finally seemed to even out. The left is still a bit higher and feels larger to the touch but I don’t think it’s noticeable to anyone but me. My only issue is that the left breast migrates towards the center throughout the day when I’m not wearing the sternum compression bra. I’m so paranoid that if I stop wearing the compression bra completely that I’ll end up with symmastia again. I’m sure it’s fine but I’ve just come so far that I’d hate to go back. Plus I love the look of my breasts in clothes. They’re bigger than before but not “Whoa! You had a boob job!” That look is totally fine but not what I was going for.
I hope you all are well! Have a great long weekend!

Love your review! Thank you for sharing. Your tummy looks so flat already! Do you have any advice for aiding in recovery the first 1-2 weeks? I have my MM on 9/13. I love learning from our RS ladies!

Its getting so close! Yay! I rented an automatic recliner and that was such a lifesaver. I tried to drink a lot of water to help flush my system so I can’t imagine having to get up and down several times a day to use the bathroom without some sort of assistance. It really wasn’t too expensive, given how much I relied on it! Also, just be patient with yourself. I saw women on here standing up straight within the first week or two. It took me a solid 4 weeks to stand up 100% straight. Also, eating super healthy, drinking lots of water, and staying on top of my meds helped. I hate pain killers but I couldn’t rest well without them and rest is so important! Good luck on your journey!!!

I’m a couple days late posting but took the pictures on time. I’m feeling really good and have started cardio again. Dr. Folk said no weights until 12 weeks. I’m back at work full time and I’m a little swollen, sore, and pretty tired at the end of the day. I’m hoping the exercise helps improve my energy and stamina. I’m eating healthy and trying to limit alcohol. I’m feeling more and more normal and my TT incision has finally closed! Still waiting on the left breast to settle in but am otherwise super happy with my results!

Tummy Tuck Scar Update

Thought I’d take a picture of my TT scar after she closed it up. There’s still a teeny spot I need to keep covered because it opened up slightly. I didn’t realize until I took this picture that it’s slightly bruised. No wonder it hurts!
