35 Yr Old Mum of 4, Moving from the Back of the Queue to Get my Butt ***Now going with Comfort Zone not Elite Aftercare***

Just thought I would update you on my surgery results...

Belly button is perfect & i have named her DOT :-)

My TT scar is healing well, although I do have a dog ear on my left hip & i do think the scar is higher than i expected at the sides. I literally have NO squishy fat left on my abdomen (I am super tight) but i do have a bulge caused by visceral (intra abdominal) fat, so will need to head back to the gym real soon to improve the contour of my abdomen (I'm still a little scared tbh incase I tear something). But i have started a strict meal plan, began taking daily fish oil supplements, drink 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar every day and also try to do some light exercises at home.

I have expressed some concern to my PS about my mons pubis area which hasn't gone down yet but I know this area takes the longest time to settle. So trying my best to be patient & just waiting on some feedback from him. I have to say here that this is the downside to "surgery abroad"... I really wish I could just pop into the clinic but obviously that is not possible so any questions or check ups are not as easily accessible.

I am still really happy with my overall shape. Loving my s curve hourglass figure & happy with my booty... BUT... butt greed is real... infact I really see how addictive surgery can be (i've been looking at even more procedures). Its probably a blessing that i am poor hahaha but i will never say NEVER to a 2nd round in the future lol.

I still have a little swelling in my lower back & still wear my compression garment for bed.

RS member Ilker_please recommended a really good waist trainer so I bought one last week. Wow!!! Waiting to get checked out by my GP and then I will begin waist training.

I dont take any pain relief... tbh I hardly ever really needed it after leaving the villa (after 9 days). I would say i am definitely still "recovering" though. I've noticed i do get really tired (more than usual), I guess my body has been through a lot, but as a mother of 4, it's hard to stop and by the end of each day i am exhausted.

Any questions please feel free to ask. X

Well I cannot believe that this time 4 weeks ago I was being wheeled down to theatre to have my bbl & tt operation. 6 hours later i'd made it to the flat side & now here I am.

I honestly think I have recovered very well and I am almost back to my normal day to day routine, although i still have to take certain things slower or it wipes me out for the day.
I have started driving again this week (using my bbl pillow)... just in time for nursery/school runs that resume tomorrow. It's easier than I thought it would be to be honest.

On new years day i removed the steri strips from my tt scar. I believe the scar is healing well and i definitely think Arnica & drinking gallons of pineapple juice helps. The scar at my sides is a little higher than i'd expected but it's not something I am unhappy about. I am now using PROSIL silicone gel stick to treat the scar itself, I'm confident that my scar will fade in time. Still wearing my compression garment all day & night... I probably don't need it now but I just feel like it holds me together and like o feel supported. I also bought some shape wear from Primark (to wear when my garment is in the wash) and have to say I am impressed with the firm support it offers. Only £5... BARGAIN!!!!

I've noticed that the swelling in my back is going away nicely too but I am still paranoid about the swelling below my belly button & around my pubic zone... Engin assures me that this is normal in such a sensitive area so i am trying my best not to panic.

I am still sleeping in my rubber ring to reduce prolonged pressure on my arse but I have sat on my bum for short periods of time. It definitely doesn't hurt but I do think it feels strange and after a short time it kind of goes numb so I just get up. I am happy with the overall shape of my bum but not going to lie... i would'nt have minded it being a tad bit bigger (the butt hungry curse is real lol). But i am not in any way saying my surgeon didn't give me the results I'd asked for... on the contrary I just think I am just being greedy haha, but I am happy and don't need a round 2. I can really see the difference in my body... for once in my life I have a waistline and i can say at this momment in time that i am happy with my body :-)
