I'm 5wks po and I finally got the ok from my ps to take off my cg and can now wear a regular bra. Boy has this been a long process so far. I've also been given the ok to return to the gym, but must start slowly. Prior to surgery I was going 5days a wk and loved it, but now that i've been away for so long and not 100% I don't feel up to going. I hate starting all over again, but I don't want to compromise my new look. So I'll probably head back to the gym sometime this week. So far, despite the 'dog ears' (which he told me i may have) I love the results.

You look great to me! Your scar looks nice and even and appears to be healing up well. What is a dog ear tho? I'm having a t.t. with lipo on March 2, 2012.

Thanks liddysue! I have a tiny dogear on the right side of my hip. My doc says it's really not a big deal and common. It can be fixed at 3mo po in the office with local anesthetic. I guess it's like a lil buldge of skin that resulted from the way the insicion was made. I'm really not worried about it right now. But I will be having it taken care of.

Houston, you are looking great!! I like the shape of your incision. Seems some docs do more of a curve and others stright across (like mine). I wonder why that is? I kind of like the curving ones...although I guess it doesn't really matter as long as they all heal well and fade over time. You look wonderful and sound like you are feeling good, too.

Funny cause I wanted the straight incision. I think that looks best, but I can't complain.
