Removing Six Dog-ears and a Minor Abnormality in my Belly Button, 22 Months Post Mommy Makeover - Foster City, CA

UPDATED FROM TwoPlusOne

PO Day 25

$1,750

Everything is looking great!  Healing is going well, and the only itching left is in my breast scar revisions on the medial side.  So both of the scars in the center are itching, though it's less today.  It may be because I took an antihistamine last night (24-hour) for terrible allergies I've been having lately.  I feel like it's from this surgery, because I don't normally have allergies like that, but we'll see low long it continues.  

Meanwhile, I'm uploading new pics.  I'm so pleased!  It's not perfect, but it's vastly improved from before and better than I'd expected :):):).  Sorry, they're all in random order for some reason.

Looks great!!! You can definitely tell a big difference! I'm so happy for you!
Thank you! :):):):)!!!
I just saw this review. I didn't realize you were having these difficulties. Sorry to see it, but sounds like it is getting better. Has the itching stopped?
Thanks so much for all your thorough posts. Very helpful and helps me understand that it is a process. Smart idea to find someone local to help with dog ears. Probably aaved money in travel and surgicenter costs.
They did a great job
Thank you :)
Thanks for posting - seems like this is a common difficulty where a patient drives the desire to fix but not many reviews showing what is bad enough to fix - glad to see someone with similar results seeking treatment.
I'm glad it was helpful to you! :):):)

Bad Reaction :(

I thought the itching was healing, but now it's red and swollen where he cleaned me yesterday:(.  The itching is also terrible.  I'm so glad I'm going to see the doc tomorrow, but it's not till the afternoon.  If it gets a lot worse, I'm going to the emergency room.  Hoping not to do that though.  Huge pain in the butt!

You look great. Your body is so different from the beginning. It is amazing. I hope the itching and swelling goes away. Happy healing.
Thank you!  It really is different.  The beauty of serious surgeries like tummy tucks and breast lifts is that the results can be really dramatic.  You pay for it with pain and scarring, of course, but it's a cost-benefits analysis, like everything else :).  For me, with the diastasis, and 16% body fat (at the time of my surgery,) lipo wouldn't have done it for me.  It's been a great refinement tool, though, especially since my body fat is closer to 20 % now :D.
