Happy with my Results
WORTH IT$6,812
Now that its been several weeks since having my surgery I wanted to post an updated regarding how feel about my results and Dr. Songs work.
I'm pleased with the work that he did on my tummy tuck and muscle repair.
My swelling has gone down a lot, I only seem to swell now when I do a lot of walking or exercise.
My scar looks great. He did a great job with keeping it nice and neat.
My belly button looks good. Its just about to the size that I want it and I plan to put a rubber ear piece in it as he advised so that it doesn't close any further.
I felt like he could've been much more aggressive with my inner thigh lipo.
If I could go back I would not have had him to do that.
I don't see much of a difference at all.
I plan to have it done again but by a different Dr. I'm also considering a BBL but I'm still debating that one. I really just want my butt lifted a bitt but I don't want much added to it, I think I have enough back there already.
Overall I'm glad Dr Song performed my Tummy tuck and I think he did an awesome job.

Fajas
First off, yes I'm a slacker. Ive been meaning to update this for weeks now but ..life happens
Ok so now that ive admitted that fault...lets move on..lol
I was torn about what type (brand / style Faja to purchase.)
After reading tons of reviews, looking and pictures and emailing companies I decided to go with Contour Fajas.
I knew that I wanted to a custom faja.
I know that some ladies like to order their fajas from Amazon and other places however I knew that after spending all of this money on my surgery I wanted to ensure that my garment was perfect and made just for me. Didn't want something that didn't fit just right.
I contacted the company via Instagram prior to placing my order to ask questions and they were great. After placing my order they sent me a measurement sheet that had to be completed.
I took my own measurements ( I would suggest you get someone to do it for you if you can)
They also have a video on youtube that explains how to take the measurements that they need.
My faja showed up boxed and beautiful about a week later.
I absolutely love my garment and its not uncomfortable at all
I wear it about 23 hours a day, only taking it off to shower or wash it.
I purchased a cheap once that I found in a store and when I do wash my faja I use that one to wear as I'm waiting for it to dry.
Ive decided to order a 2nd faja. I plan to get the next one from Bonito & Co.
Ive heard only wonderful things about that company and I figured why not give them a try as well.
I'll make another post regarding that one once I receive it.

You look f*cking amazing! I too am torn about where to get my fans. How long after surgery did you wait to start using it?

Aww thanks!!! I didn't start wearing my faja until about 4 weeks after surgery I think. Dr Song wanted me to wear the binder for like another 2 weeks but as soon as that Faja showed up I couldn't help myself. Its definitely much more comfortable than that darn binder and it definitely helps to shape you better. I wear mine all day long. I cant wait for my new one to come.

Swell Hell but Happy
I'm such a big slacker with this updating thing. I've been meaning to do it for days now ....oh but life..lol
Anywho, I am still pleased with the work that Dr. Song performed. I do still have swelling. I notice it even more when I'm doing a lot of walking and moving around during the day, because by the end of the day my lower abdomen seems to be very swollen as well as my sides.
My binder, although I wear it pretty much 24 hours a day seems to not fit as well anymore. I try to put it on as tight as possible but it just moves around and doesn't hold me as it should. I ordered a custom made faja which I cant wait to receive. (I'll post more details about that once it arrives) Hopefully it should be here any day now. I'm still sleeping in my recliner. I tried sleeping in the bed however I'm just not that comfortable. I've started with scar management. I ordered mepitac silicone tape and Mederma. As I wait for those things to arrive I've been using Scaraway silicone pads which I cut in half and use on my scar.
The photo I'm posting today ....is me on yesterday at the end of the day. I was in the mall for a few hours and I was super swollen but still looking better then the old me. I happen to have on the bra/panty set that I took some before pics in...OMG you couldn't even see my panties in that old pic...lol.
I've asked Dr. Song about me working out in the gym to tone up, he gave me the clearance to go, but to only walk on the treadmill, no jogging and no running. He said I can also ride a stationary bike. He also said that I definitely can not do any workout with weights just yet.

I dont have any scars. only the small little area where he put the stitch but that healed up rather quickly. I had absolutely no pain in my thighs so I dont think he took out much at all. I love my tummy tuck. Im definitely happy with that.
