1.5 year Update
WORTH IT$20,500
Well technically 19 months now. Not a lot of new changes these past few months. I do have more feeling in my stomach lately. It feels very strange to be touched. Hard to describe feeling. A little bit like when your leg falls asleep and then starts to wake up. But only when it’s touched. Wierd but whatever. I think it’ll probably continue to come back. My nipples have a tiny bit of feeling coming back. Fingers crossed that continues to get better. The areola inscisions still hurt when grabbed firmly. So not fun. Other than those issues I’m feeling great! I love how my front side looks! My dog ear revision was totally worth it! My hips are completely flat! Still a little pink but not bad at all. So much nicer to look at. My husband says sweet things to me daily about my looks... side note... he did before too... it’s just that I believe him now. Lol I am trying to get ahold of my shopping. My closet and drawers are overflowing. Lol I only bought 3 new bikinis this summer so huge improvement over last. Here’s a couple pics! Thanks for reading!!

Tattoo completed!
Ok ladies! I’m done with my tattoo. About 16ish hours total and jyst around $2000. Much better that the $10,000 quote I got right?!? Completed it last Friday. Things went soooo much better this time. I contacted my tattooist a few days ahead of time to make sure he had the numbing gel on hand. He did not. It was on back order. My stomach dropped. So my husband went on amazon and found the same product except it was 4% lidocaine instead of the the 5% that was used before. I guess the 5% of this particular brand is pharmaceutical. Anyway, I really hoped this 4% would work and it did! It was amazing! He used it on me after the outline was completed because the skin needs to be broken for it to work. No pain!!! I was so happy! It’s pretty tender and sore now of coarse. But wow! That stuff worked great! Here’s a couple pics. One is right after he finished so lots of redness and swelling. I am really happy with how it turned out! Kinda big for a first tattoo but my husband always says I don’t do anything small. Lol.

7 weeks post dog ear revision!
I just wanted to post an update on my dog ear revision. So far it’s looking great! Still nice and flat now. The scar is pretty lite. Probably because it’s not nearly as deep as the original tummy tuck. I’ll post a pic to show you.
Also, my friend talked me into doing a boudoir photo shoot. Something I would never ever considered doing before my mommy makeover. I was super nervous but am really happy with how they turned out. Gave them to my husband for Valentine’s Day! Jyst another thing I never thought I would be able to do in my life.
I’ve been back to the gym for a few weeks now trying to work on my backside. So I’m proud of myself for that. Thanks to several girls on here for the motivation.
Lastly, I have actually forgotten to mention this but it’s important to note, I have never gotten the feeling back in either nipple. I’m almost 15 months P.O. so I doubt at this point that I will. Which does make me a little sad. Ok a lot sad. Actually if I give a full description I should also say that my inscision around each areola hurts a bit when my husband grabs them. So we’re learning just how to be gentler than before. I will say that even if I knew this would be the outcome I would still have done the mommy makeover. But, I do still hope the feeling will come back!

Gorgeous pics!!! And your revision scar looks amazing, very well done! Thank you for letting us know about the lack of feeling in your nipples, I really hope you get that back! That definitely is one of my concerns as I look to whether or not I should complete my mommy makeover. My tummy was a no-brainer and I knew going in I didn't care about any numb feeling afterwards. Nipples are a different story and I think it's important for women to know that there's no guarantee the sensation will return. But again, I really really hope there is still a chance you get it back!!

Thank you! And yes the numbness is a real thing. I don’t think I’ve read about anyone on here not getting the sensation back at some point during the first year. I knew it was a possibility and it’s important to put the info out there. I think I had a pretty easy time with the surgery and the recovery was almost uneventful except a small opening with a spitting stitch. So I really thought I would get the feeling back. I’m not sure why I didn’t but there’s nothing I can do about it. Except just accept it. Im ok though. Especially if I forgot to even update on it till now. Lol

That's a good point! It's funny that even though I wasn't worried about it, I thought the numbness in my abodomen would freak me out but I adapted to it so quickly. Of course nipple sensation and lower abdomen sensation are very different in terms of what they did for us when we still had full feeling ;) I'm just so glad you haven't had any major problems!
