WORTH IT
I can't believe it's been 4 months already. Let's just say I lovvvvve my tummy! It was my 48th birthday last week, can't even grasp that reality whatsoever haha, but I feel so sexy and confident again about myself I'm thinking about what I might want next! Ha! Anyways, just wanted to share some updated pics with you so you can see my progress.

Been MIA for awhile, had a little infection and was a bit ill, but got better, then went on vacation.. but I just wanted to share how beautiful my tummy looks now that the drains are finally out and I can stand up straighter. I'm still wearing my compression garment daily, but obviously take it off to show you the bod..

I had been so down on myself for so long about my body and getting older, and this procedure just gave me all my confidence back. Tired of being told I have a pretty face and now I have the body to match..I'm sooooooo happy I invested in doing this!!! Possibly down the road I will show my face and reveal myself but I'm a chicken! :P

Seriously if you live in NJ/NY metro area and you're thinking about having some work done..please go see my doctor. He is the BEST!!! He gives you his personal cell phone number after surgery so that if there's any problems or worries you can call or text him. I used that privilege a few times and he got right back to me always. I mean who does that right? Just so amazing and so comforting to know he really cares about his patients, and his staff are the sweetest too!

Hi I've been healing great, I constantly put lotion and bio-oil on the scar. I'm actually going to my PS tomorrow to have him touch up a little spot on the very end of the incision on my right hip that's kind of puckering, looks like a tiny bump..no biggie really. I will post some update pics so you can see.
