Hi, I haven't posted anything in FOREVER!! I will try and post pics at some point. I've had a belly button revision that improved it but I'm still not happy with it. I have little stitch scars all around it and it's not sunken in enough. I will be having my bellybutton tattooed next month and that should campflauge the falseness of it....I hope lol. So that being said, make sure you look at your PS's belly button portfolio. I didn't do this and I regret it. I'm not sure if he does all bellybuttons like this or if he was just having an off day. Your bellybutton is what makes people not know you had a TT. I think it's a very important part of the surgery. I had three bubbly stretch marks left after the surgery that I had tattooed over and you can't see them at all now! I have recently started working out three days a week. Please start working out as soo after your surgery as your PS will allow you. I wish I would have. Any weight I gain it goes straight to my luvhandles. It sucks! The joys of getting older lol.

Dr.kao is a very nice PS. He was confident with what he did and was very clean. My scars turned out great. I had a tummy tuck and a breast reduction by him. I'm happy with most of it. The only complaints I'd have is that I had asked that he make my aerolas much smaller. I don't find they are much smaller at all. I had told him about my disappointment and he did try to have the cost covered through the government but was denied. I feel like he should have fixed them from his own pocket. Especially because the last thing I said to him before the anastetic kicked in was to make sure he made my aerolas MUCH smaller and he acknowledged it. The other thing I don't like is my bellybutton. I've had a revision and it's still not great. I'm going to have it tattooed soon so hopefully it will hide the scars and fake look of it. I would choose him again if I had to do it all over again but I'd be very specific and I'd make sure we were on the same page.
