WORTH IT$17,000
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

Went to the gym first time since the surgery..Felt good to get back but I must of looked silly since i had to roll myself on and off the bench to do chest..lol I am swelling up like a marshmellow since getting home from the gym. My ps said this is normal and not to be alarmed. (baby steps)

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!!

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.

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.

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

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
