Here is a photo of me that I put through the plastic surgery app. I altered my waist to taper it in further. I am hoping to achieve these results after my swelling has subsided and with exercise. I am more than confident this is possible; my goal is realistic!!! What yall think?

Almost Back To Normal!
Hey ladies just updating my review for inquiring minds :) I am still progressing in my recovery. No issues thus far or complications. My breasts have settled beautifully and I am working on scar treatments now. I am currently using silicone scar tape I purchased onAmazon and I also am using Vitamin E capsules amd Tummy Butter by Palmer's. The Vitamin E is the pills you ingest, not the Vitamin oil. What I do is puncture a hole in the capsule with a stick pin and squeeze the contents in my belly and incisions. Itis much thicker in consistency this way and provides instant relief to the pulling itchy feel of my tummy. I have very soft skin and stretch marks form easily so this is a must for me. The silicone scar tape is working great!! Been using it for about two solid weeks now and boy what a difference it makes. It is flattening out my scar and making it smooth and lightening. I recommend it! I will try and remember to post some pics for you to see the progress. I dont have a true before pic but I will start documenting now for you all. Anyway thats about all I have for now. I moved from MD to VA and am just trying to get settled in our new place. I think I will be ready to start a light workout regimen soon! I had not issues with the physical rigors of moving and lifting.

You look great! I'll be one week post op tomorrow. You helped me so much through this process. First off, congratulations on the successful move and secondly... what brand of silicone scar sheets do you use? I purchased some as well, waiting a month before I use them. Also, what did you use to keep the swelling down? I'm healing rather quickly but my lower back swells like crazy. And there's no liquid build up so it's rather odd. Lol

Hey doll! Glad you found my info helpful. So happy for you! I am wearing a faja (full body compression garment) to fight swelling! Its the best way, hands down. Swelling is normal and you will probably swell off and on for several months as your body heals. It can take up to a year for your body to completely recover, dont worry. I bought a silicone tape from Amazon named Mepitac. They all basically work the same if its true silicone tape. Lots of ladies use Scar Away. They sell ones specifically for the tummy, too! Glad things are going well for you! Good luck, if you have questions, let me know :)

Thank you!! You are too sweet! Actually, I had TT, BA and Lipo only. I opted not to get the BBL because I really didnt have very much fat to harvest. I figure I'll just work on lifting my bum back up in the gym! Lol. Almonte is an amazing doctor :)

How many pads did you use daily in your faja? I feel like I've over packed. Lol I have two packages, 48 pads in each one.

You mean the maxi pads or puppy pads? The maxi's are to stuff in your faja in uncomfortable spots to prevent chaffing the skin. It can be very painful esp first couple weeks after surgery. The puppy pads are to protect your bed for any fluids and blood that may leak after lipo. I didnt particularly need them, didnt have much lipo, but they are useful when cleaning your drains and during massages

Hi, I actually figured it out. I was referring to maxi pads, I'm using them now because my garment isn't giving me enough compression and they are working great besides on my lower back. Thank you. :)
