I will be 13 weeks po tomorrow and I stopped wearing my garment at 11 weeks, accept for exercising. 10 days ago I started a diet and exercise program. I walk and light jog 2 miles, 3 days a week and I do Beach body's, slim and 6 " Burn it up" on the opposite 3 days a week. I do skip the ab workout on the slim n 6. I will tell you I am sooooo out of shape! I have lost 4lbs and I am now 140lbs. I'm usually 127lbs, so I have 13lbs too loose. I have been a terrible patient, will NO PATIENCE and have been so depressed, that I have eaten my way to an extra 15 lbs. Dumb I know...have surgery and gain weight...UGH!!! The swelling made me feeI so fat and without being able to exercise, I became depressed and fed my face. At least I know I am on the right road and within 6 weeks, I will be looking good! I first started working out with the garment on and this week, I said the heck with it and I am garment free!!! Feels great!!!!! I am going to Florida in 5 weeks, so I have to get rid of 10 lbs. That is 2lbs a week...Can I do it???? ;) I feel human again...YAY!!!!!!

When you are looking at the breast lift photos,...
excited4changeMay 1, 2013
When you are looking at the breast lift photos, remember these are 50 yr old breast.
You can compare to the before pic and see there is a huge improvement. Also I did not get implants, just a lift. I just wish she would have given me the best lift possible. I don't want to scare someone from getting a lift, I just want you to be aware and know what questions to ask.
Also notice the pooch in the tummy area before my surgery and notice the pooch is still there after the TT. I'm still not sure it was all worth it. You have to take into consideration that there was not a ton of skin for my TT situation. Had I been much larger or had lost tons of weight and had lots of excess skin, than heck yeah it would have been worth it, but in my situation I just don;t see a huge difference. Maybe when the swelling is down, I will have a better outlook, but for right now I am not thrilled.

I had a half anchor breast lift also I think that's just how they do it in DR because I saw another lady who had it done the day after mine and its the same way. I'm also still very swollen and my back bothers me a bunch I guess we both recover slowly :-( are you already wearing a bra? I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and still in sports bras
May 1, 2013
Duve, I will be 9 weeks Thursday and I have been wearing a regular bra, when I go out. 90% of the time, I am still wearing the bra Robles gave me. My back doesn't bother me, but I only had lipo in the waist and hips. I need to be more patient!

I am now second guessing myself about getting the breast lift :/
May 1, 2013
Ready, just do you research. My problem is my age and I needed the full lift. Also my boobs were already uneven, she just didn't fix it like she said she would. None of this is serious, but if I wanted to be a stripper or go to nudest beaches, I would not be a happy camper,lol...lol

Scars looks awesome! Sorry about the unevenness are you thing about getting a revision some where else?
May 1, 2013
No revision at this time. I lived with it, I can continue to live with it, just disappointed!

First and foremost you do not have a body of a 50 year old women!!! Please no more mentioning 50 year old boobs I ve seen 20 year boobs no where near your pre surgical rack. You incision is healing nicely what did you have on it in the picture looks like a tape?.. I understand exactly what you mean now by half anchor and also the skin underneath due to it. By the way if you didnt point it out I wouldnt have picked that up. I am concerned thou I will ask a whole lot of questions. That is so weird I wonder why they do the incision that way maybe for less scarring? Did you end up getting the insurance they offer? You look like a banging stripper regardless :)

Ready, Thank you...you made me smile,lol I have been using the silicone scar away sheets on my TT scar and rose oil on my breast. I'm guessing you are prob right on the less scarring, I'm sure she has her reasoning behind it. I know she is a good surgeon. In my situation, My breast skin was so thin and that is why I wasn't a good candidate for an implant with the lift, so you would think she would have used all the forces for me,lol. I did not get any insurance. lol...on the stripper comment. On realself this week, I saw pics of three TT that were done in the US, by certified PS, That were awful! When I saw those, it made me feel better about mine. Her incisions are awesome!
May 2, 2013
Haha smiles are good for the heart, soul and wounds. There was another doctor that sent me post op pics of his breast work in DR but he practices in Santiago anyways I just zoomed on them and his incisions are the same as yours. Wow you too have noticed the work out here?? SMH!! So much money out here I personally prefer DR because I want my curves with the TT ;) most doctorsin us just do a TT no sculpting I am thinking outside the box lol
May 2, 2013
I agree on the curves. I cannot wait for my swelling to go down, so I can appreciate it. I think I am just being a little negative this week. The healing process is just so slow and I am not the patient person. Maybe God is trying to teach me patience,lol

You look wonderful and your waist and hip area look awesome. Try massages they say they help a lot . Keep positive you look very good .
May 2, 2013
Bookie, Thank you for your positive comment. I'm just having a bad week. Probably that time of the month. haha...50yrs old and yes I still have a period,lol
