Ten Years Later!

I can’t believe it’s been a little over ten years since I had my TT, and continue to get quite a few private messages of gratitude for my review or questions about how it turned out. I’ve added a few updated photos that I hope can help others. My scar is even and low, sitting right below my underwear line. I have no residual nerve pain and my BB has a keloid but it’s either not that bad or I’ve gotten so used to it I don’t care, lol. My “Ken doll” is still very noticeable to me but others say it isn’t. The more I’ve lived with it the more I believe it’s (in part) because of the low incision. I imagine getting lipo in that area would help but I’m not all that interested in going back for another procedure. As you can see from the photos in jeans, it isn’t noticeable in clothes (I hope). If others have had good experience with getting the Ken doll fixed, I’d love to hear it. Anyway, I haven’t regretted my decision for a single day in the last ten years. Good luck to everyone and I’m happy to answer any questions!

Wow - nine months down! All continues to go well. Haven't been back to the PS yet but hope to do that this week for a consult on my thighs. I've added some new photos. I'm standing at an angle so my torso looks a little crooked but it's not :) my scar is so low I love it!

What happened to your swollen pubic area? Did it go back to its normal size? Did the doctor fix it or did you get it fixed?

Almost a year!

aNewME123
Well, it has been almost a year since my surgery (I cannot believe it). I am so in love with my results, I cannot say it enough. People - if you are even thinking about doing it... DO IT! My incision has lightened significantly. I do have a keloid around my belly button which stinks because I have a picture on here where it looked so perfect! I'm going to touch base with my doctor to make sure that it wont close up or anything. If I don't have to be worried about that I am not at all concerned about the Keloid. The only person who will ever see it is my husband. I still have stretch marks so no bikini for this lady :)

I am still thinking about going back to get my thighs done....they warned me this might get addicting. I knew I'd regret not doing it at the same time as everything else but it felt like a lot to do at once. I did no back to the Doctor at 6 months to discuss my mons pubis. He told me that this is the last area to flatten out and he wasn't concerned because it was even still numb at that time. It has gone down but is still not what I would consider back to normal although my husband and friends say it is in my head. I am making an appointment to go back and talk to him about it further. I'm not sure if I need to lipo it or what but it seems to rise higher up on my abdomen than it did before, if that makes sense. I've decided that if he does go back to fix that I will go ahead and do my thighs at the same time.

I'll post more pictures soon and repost after I chat with him regarding my "ken doll"
