One year update! I am very happy with my results the breast lift was amazing the scars are thin white lines hardly noticeable. My nipple sensation has gone back to normal ( they were extremely sensitive after the surgey).
My tt scar is healing nice very flat and thin. It has a slight purple hue to it but not very noticeable. I have normal sensation around the scar and belly button except for an inch just in the middle above my scar it's slightly numb.
I'm so glad I had such a great outcome, and great support !
Will try and post pics soon

Dr. Chong is wonderful surgeon. He is very caring and honest. I have never felt rushed in office even when he was running a bit behind. He made sure I understood everything about my procedure and always answered my questions professionally even when I thought they might be silly. Dr Chong takes great pride in his work and I would recommend him 100%. The office staff is wonderful, always there to answer questions and they make you feel at ease.

That is so good to hear, Pink!! Glad all is well with you. It has been a LONG time since I've been on RS and I've been missing my gals. :) Happy to hear you are happy and all is well!!

So happy to see this review! I'm booked March 7 with Dr. Chong and very nervous. Your before pics look very similar to me and I love your after pictures.

You will love your results from Dr.Chong. He and Michelle will answer any concerns you have. I don't know how many e-mails I sent before and after the surgery and every time they responded quickly and reassured me that everything is good. I'm so excited for you follow your aftercare instructions and you should have no problems. The first 2 days you are going to be thinking "Why Did I Do This"! at least thats how I felt. But then after its just taking it easy and try not laugh, ooh that was not fun. GOOD LUCK and all the BEST!

I am booked for August with Dr. Chong, I'm happy I found your review!! You look great! Did you get any option in your scar placement? Yours is nice and low, I'm hoping mine will be super low.

Hey there, I'm excited for you , you will love your results and the journey! As for scar placement Dr Chong told me to wear a pair of underwear / bikini bottoms with in reason on the day of surgery and he'd do his best to have the scar placed low.

so when did u find u it got to how it would look? 3-4 wks?

I also find my binder is digging into my incision and it burns!
Back to the gym...good for you!! What were u all able to do? did any movements feel odd?
Begining of May (i'll be 7 wks) i had registered for this bootcamp wkend seminar but i think i'll be cancelling. Could have u been able to do drills, and lunges and circuits at 7 wks po?

Well i so wish i'd be in your shoes right now! these 7 wks are gonna go by soooo slow!!
March 22, 2012
I got some thick gauze that I had put on my incision for the first few weeks just place it under the binder where it digs in. As for bootcamp lunges and squats yes, sit ups push ups hell no. I took things slow today as well no fast sudden movements. I did incline bench and felt like an idiot because I had to roll on my side to lay down and to get up because the muscle repair burns like a [RS bleep]. I even had a lifting belt on, and now I'm swollen and sore.
March 22, 2012
Looking GREAT Pink!! :)
March 22, 2012
really! i know it's a major surgery but wow! i was hoping i'd get my old life back by 8 wks!
how about Cardio? You able to run yet?
me and my girlfriends are attempting our first 1/2 marathon in November in Malibu and i have to start my training for that as soon as i can!..hoping by mid june at least!?
so lets say you were standing up straight and wanted to do some bicep curls...u think your able to do that w/o it hurting?

thanks for the gauze tip...i so didn't think of that! gonna do that right now!:)
March 22, 2012
Cardio is a breeze, running feels weird just because the abs need to stretch so it kinda pulls. No problem with weights as long as I dont have to lay down or go to heavy. i dont think it will take long to get back to normal.. Everyone is differant , and we all heal differantly so you may not have any problems getting back to working out.
March 22, 2012
Well thats great to hear! Happy for you!! Ya, i'm just trying to think of things i can do with my kids especially my 22 month old w/o being too straining on anything!
did u sit up lots like at the kitchen table for long periods of time? that shouldn't do no harm to the incision right?

7.5 weeks po

Had my 8 week check up today and got the ok to go back to my normal routine ( all restrictions lifted). I no longer need my binder .. Happy dance!
I do have to keep my scars taped for another 2 months. Dr Chong is very pleased with everything a am I. I am so looking forward to hit the gym, he did mention spanx should I feel like I need a bit of support for the first few weeks at the gym so I will be searching for spanx.

I go back to see the ps in August for another follow up

Congrats on your positive 8 week check up!!

Good for you!
don't know if u saw, but i posted some pics of my 4 days po. i hope i'm swollen, because to me i still look thick & a lil flabby? and i noticed in your pics, u had no gauze in your belly button. Mine is still in there..?i have a hard time looking at everything!
March 21, 2012
Youre definately swollen... I was taken back by everything when I got my first look at my incision, I got all hot and faint. As for my belly button, I had gauze in it but It fell out the first time my binder came off and I never put it back. I have a very tiny belly button to begin with so Dr Chong said once OT heals I can start massaging the inside and it will be normal looking. The problem is my belly button is so small I can't even get my pinky in it so I have been using a latex ear plug (new) ( I roll it really slim and once in it expands and forms a nice round fit) and its been stretching it out a bit and making it nice and round.. I'll post a pic later this week
