Hi!
I had a mommy makeover on 6 November 2012, and at that time, I was left with some very large puckering at each end of every incision. In addition, I spit a stitch in my belly button and it was right where the knot was, so I got a lump there. After nearly two years, these dog-ears are all _very_ minor, and all seven should take about an hour to fix total, outpatient. I've chosen to pay for this from a local doctor, rather than flying to my original PS to get it done for free, mainly for the convenience of staying in town (this doctor's office is only a few blocks away--while my original PS is in Texas.) I have three children that I am full-time caregiver for (husband works) and flying out of town would be a huge hassle. I also decided that I wanted to get a bit of lipo contouring as well, and since I'd have to pay for that anyway, the costs somewhat even out. They gave me a discount on the lipo because it's a very small quantity (less than 200 cc's).
I'll post all my pictures from the doctor when I get them from my doctor. They'll take them on the day of surgery. For those of you contemplating removing dog-ears, I'll just mention that dog-ears are usually at the end of an incision, and that means that you have to extend the scar in order to excise them. I am hoping it will improve the shape of my breasts (which look a little boxy from the dog-ears but are actually very well-formed from the surgery) as well as remove the unsightly puckering everywhere, but it will make all of the already very large scars larger.
Before Pics!
These show the dog ears and my belly button. I'm still not entirely sure I should do the one on my left breast.
Tomorrow is the day!
Not much to say :). I go in at 7:30 a.m. and should be done with everything by 11:30 a.m. I added knee lipo which should take even less time than the other stuff. The scar revision should be easy work for the doc--I'm much more concerned about the lipo, frankly. Still a little sad that my scars will get longer, but hubby and I really don't like the dog-ears, so off they go! I'm expecting very little pain--so little that I won't notice it over the lipo. I'll tell you guys how right I was afterward, ;).Please wish me luck!

Had a really good experience! Though they never did give me the before/after pics as promised.
