9 Months Post TT Revision...and everything is so perfect!
WORTH IT$19,180
Not much to report as I feel that my TT Revision results was pretty much complete as soon as it was done!
My weight remains unchanged always between 112-115lbs.
My activity is about the same, if not more as I'm lifting heavier in my training sessions.
My scars are fading very nicely...each month that passes they're less red looking. I'd assume the scars will take a full year or more before they're completely white.
One thing...I feel my Belly Button is a bit rough looking and so I'm hoping as time passes it will soften.
Sooo that's about it. I've included some up-dated photo's that I took today of my revision.

2-1/2 Months Post Revision...and I'm SO SO HAPPY!
Wow...time has flown by so quickly! It's now been 2 1/2 months since my TT Revision that I pushed (convinced) my PS to do and boy oh boy...am I EVER SO glad I did! When I look at my before's and compare them to my after's then there's NO doubt in my mind I wasn't over-reacting. I'm also very certain once my Surgeon see's the result of my TT at my December 9th Post Opp appointment I'm sure he'll be pleased we went ahead with the revision.
SWELLING:
So...right from the get go, I had NO SWELLING (or very little) after my revision so I was able to see my results instantaneously. The results are exactly the same today (nice & tight) with the exception that my scar is now starting to flatten out. Over the next months to come the scar will lighten & flatten more.
NEW BELLY BUTTON:
I'm pretty happy with my NEW Belly button...(anythings better than the before BB). I just can't wait for the red line around it to fade. Once that line is gone, my BB will look more natural.
WEIGHT:
My weight is up by 5lbs since my surgery and I'm not interested in weighing 107lbs! That's a ridicules weight to even think of staying at. I HATED how my clothes fit...all loose & weird looking! I only drop to that weight to compete in (twice per year) and of course for my TT revision, which I'm so glad I did as Dr. P was able to to do a tight TT. I feel my result would NOT have been near this good if I stayed at 112-115lbs.
ACTIVITY:
So...I've not been doing much of anything other than walking the last 6 weeks, however I begin a full lifting routine next week! Ohh boy...I just can't wait!
PHOTO'S:
I took some photo's yesterday & some today, trying to get some different lightening. Overall I'm SO SO happy...also, loving my tight arms!! Take note: my weight is the same in the comparison photo of my tummy! It's no wonder why my inches dropped. Whew, look at all that extra SKIN!
OVER All:
My next update will be in another month after my post opp appointment on December 9th. It'll be interesting to see what Dr. Peterson thinks about my revision results PLUS my recent full face fat transfer & amazing short scar arm-lift I did with Dr. Shapiro. Dr. Peterson thought that #1. I didn't need anything done to my face & #2. I'd be disappointed with the arm-lift. Hmmm...this should be an interesting post opp appointment :)

You look amazing Freedom!!!! Yipppeeee!!!!

Thank you so much for updating your TT experience. I'm so happy for you. Xx
November 4, 2015
Thanks Miss Natty...NOW it's your turn girl!!! Can't wait for your BIG day.
November 4, 2015
Dr. P. will be learning something from you and that is that there's always room for improvement! You might have to show him your before and after photos though as he probably doesn't notice the details that Dr. Shapiro did! Your abdomen looks fantastic and your midriff looks really tight. Wish mine looked like that!! Definitely GREAT results and so they SHOULD be after three surgeries!!
November 4, 2015
I know hey Miss BBNM? Ugh...all the doubts he cast in my mind about doing my TT Revision... it's as though I had to put the scalpel into his hand and say, "don't worry Dr. P, you can do this"! My husband and I are off to Sparkling Hills Resort next week and #1 thing I want to buy is a NEW 2 piece swim suit. I do have one that I bought 20 years ago but the bottoms look like shorts (as I was always hiding my lower tummy). And to top it all off, I always had a cover up shirt that used as much as possible for my arms...not anymore!! :)) Hmmm agreed...maybe Dr. P might learn something? I told him about my surgeries with Dr. Shapiro...he did e-mail me and wished me luck!! Maybe he's following my journey's...
November 5, 2015
You'll LOVE Sparking Hills!! It will be so nice for you to be able to show off your newly sculpted body! I'm impressed that Dr. P. actually emailed you to wish you luck with your surgeries in Phoenix! I'm looking forward to reading about Natty's upcoming surgery and sure hope Dr. P fixes her tuck as well as he did yours.
November 5, 2015
Me too...I'm just so excited for her! Yes, Sparkling Hills is so nice. I LOVE hiking during the day & soaking during the evening:)
November 5, 2015
I was just catching up on your progress. Wow! Anazing! I'm so glad you are finally able to say you're happy with your TT results. It's been a lot of work and a long wait! I had to giggle about the mind lift. I loved that about my TT also. Looking great Miss Freedom! Congrats. BTW, on year postop for me, my muscle repair and skin still feels so tight it feel like it pulls when I plank or hang from a chin-up bar. Sounds like The doc got it right!
November 5, 2015
Thx Miss Matea2! Wow, one year post hey? I'm so happy that your TT is as beautiful today as it was when your had your surgery :) Ohh...and nice to hear you're workin out!!
November 11, 2015
Yes, working out but way different now. Having some arthritis issues and really have had to modify my workouts but no weight gain so all is well. Knee surgery failed so physiotherapy begins next week to deal with that. Bone spurs in the spine... blah blah blah. I look good though and the new boobs are really fun!!!
November 12, 2015
Awesome...so happy that you're enjoying those new boobs and oh my goodness the rest doesn't sound like any fun!
November 10, 2015
The difference is humongous!!!!! You look amazing!!! All those ab muscles are starting to pop - six pack for sure :)))))))) Congratulations, girl - you look SO good. Happy healing! Looking forward to your next update.
November 10, 2015
Thanks Miss Awake! I agree...what a huge difference, hey? I can't wait for the red circle to go away around my BB. I guess your 1 year is coming up soon? Hope all is well with you:)
December 13, 2015
With Dr Shapiro, I was thinking of getting a lower face lift, what did you think of him? Resu;ts?
December 13, 2015
If I could turn back the clock...I wish I could've had Dr.Shapiro do my neck-lift because I know he would've done a proper job and my outcome would have been better. I feel my PS here in Canada did a half ass job on my Neck-Lift. At the time I thought he did an amazing job...but NO he did not. You can check my review under full face fat transfer on Dr. Shapiro's work. He is EXCELLENT and no doubt you'll be happy.
December 13, 2015
I think you can farily say that your results are excellent, Freedom. But this might not be true across the board. It wasn't for me. And, in talking to some aestheticians in Scottsdale, I came to find out that he hasn't been for many others.
I don't feel that anyone should rely on only one good outcome or one good recommendation.
Personally, I'd rather do my homework and go with someone who has an impeccable track record. And RS offers all of us that opportunity now.
And as you know by now, I am not one who could attest to that for Dr. Daniel Shapiro. Sorry :-(.

Miss Awake...Here's my Olympic Lifting Sport!
Here's my lifting Competition that I did just 3 days before my TT Revision. Unfortunately, I missed my weigh-in of 48kg...I competed at 49kg therefore missing a Silver Metal.
I train with EXTREMELY heavy weights. Notice just before I make a lift...I open my mouth & take in a giant breath of air? This is so I can create a strong & solid core. You could literally punch me in the gut & my abs are so contracted, I wouldn't feel it. If I didn't have a strong core...there's just NO WAY I could stand up with that much weight.
I stay in phenomenal shape training for this Sport. Here's what I do:
5 days per week. 1 hour on the Snatch. 1 hour on the Clean & Jerk and 45 Minutes of heavy squatting along with other various exercises totaling 2-1/2 hours a day.
What I LOVE about the sport is that it's based on performance & strength. I don't HAVE to parade around in a swim suit. I'm way to old for all that...lol! Been there and done it.

That is a lot of training.....so you're going to be getting into all that again?! WOW, keep us posted on your progress!! Thanks for sharing the video!

Thx stillmebutbetter. Yup, a-lot a training for sure. I'll probably train in this sport for at least the next 5-7 years...it's a lot of FUN.
September 13, 2015
Ha...ha...I think it's bragging rights Miss Stillmebutbetter! Most do it this just for the LOVE of the sport. If you made it to the Olympics (as with any sport) then I guess there's $$ in it :)))
September 15, 2015
WOW!!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!!!! That's AMAZING!!!! You are SO strong! Are you sure you're 50 something? LOL! Kuddos, girl - I hope I can be half as strong as you her in my fifties and beyond. I have no doubt you can strut your stuff and win those bikini comps if you wanted to but dang girl you did fantastic in that video. I'm truly inspired. Thank you!!!!!!
September 15, 2015
Awe...thanks Miss Awake! I know you like to lift & so I posted that Video mostly for you to view and now that you have, I'll take it down :))) I must say that all the training keeps me in shape for sure.

If I hadn't of dropped almost 10lbs prior to my revision...I know without a doubt my results would not have been as good. I made sure I had a ton of redundant skin!
I definitely wouldn't recommend Dr. P. to anyone for a TT knowing that at least two of his clients have needed full revisions. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if all surgeons some times take short cuts when they need a coffee break or whatever! That's why it's so important for their clients to be as informed as possible.
I'm happy for you Ms. BBNM that even with 5lbs up on the scale that your tummy still looks good.
