The revision results are amazing- you are one brave lady- I may have to do the same, I will go under too- I have a dog ear and a bit of ledge on the other side- my husband doesn't care but I've gone this far , I should get it right. I didn't realize you could put fat under the scar to help smooth it out. How long did all this touch up work take? How long will you need to be off the grid? wear the binder? and last question did he charge you for his revision work or just the surgical center fee , etc?

Hi! I am still healing but I think I was under for about 2 hours on the day of surgery. I went home that evening. I wore the binder for 11 days or so, I had a bad rash so I switched to spanks-type high waisted underwear instead after that. I paid for the location and the anesthesiologist but not the doctor's fee. It was about $1000 total. I felt like it was worth it to have it all over and done. I had it done on Friday and came back to work on Monday but only for a few hours, I don't have a physically demanding job though. If I had more sick time I would have taken at least a few days. I am not tough and still have pain and soreness but it's getting better.

Congrats your scars looks great! Dr. Macias did my nose and now thinking of getting a tummy tuck. Like you I been working out hard after my pregnancies and the six pack is no where to be found under all that saggy skin lol. Thanks for posting it will be my turn soon ;)

Thanks! Good luck on your TT, I always wanted to get my nose done but I don't think I ever will now. My doesn't want me to do anything else. I am glad I got the MM though, it's really nice to have a waist now. :)

I feel ya! Procedures can take a toll on our energy when healing. I couldn't breathe anymore and had to do it before the TT but I acknowledge you for going forward with this procedure. Yes your waist and Belli button looks amazing, very natural. :)

Btw I don't know if you believe in natural remedies but my scar is non existent now. You can't even tell where the incision was done under my nose. I boil fresh rosemary and apply that tea water with a cotton ball. It also worked with another friend who got in an accident and his scars are minimal. Just a thought ;)

I, too, had Dr. Macias as my dr! I just had lipo of stomach, hips, flanks, bra rolls. Was he willing to do your revisions? Cost? I may need some revisions too - mostly my lower abdomen, but also need a bit of evening out on hips. I'm on 4 months PO so I know I have to wait but am just wondering what to expect when I bring it up next week at my appt.

You are one very brave lady :) takes a lot of courage to go through this again for the second time together with the bruising, pain and discomfort. But you already have great results and I am sure in a few weeks you will look even greater. Gives me courage to deal better with my current discomfort. Please keep the updates

Revision time!
So I had some uneven results in my hips - kind of a ledge, on one side and a a little dog ear on the other side. Last week Dr. Macias took care if it, lots of fine tuning- a bit of lipo, some tiny fat transfer and removed the dog ear. At first I was going to do it with just local but I couldn't handle it so I went under. I am really sore and bruised. Here are a few pics. Overall I think my findl results are going to be great.
