7 month update

I have been away for a while so I thought I would post an update on my progress. I am very satisfied with how things have turned out. My breasts are perfect. I am wearing a 34 DD bra which I didn't expect to be wearing but I'm ok with that. I also am in a size 10 pants/dress and a s/m shirts and pants. I love the way I look now. I still have swelling in the evening so my tummy looks best early in the morning. My boobs look great all the time. Lol! I still can't get completely comfortable when laying on my stomach due to the implant but it's much better. I stopped scar treatment at about the 3 month mark but I'm going to start back to try and make my scars even less visible. I hope everything is going well with all of you. Take care!

Almost 7 weeks

  • 1 month post
So it's been almost 7 weeks since surgery and I'm feeling great. I'm back at work full-time and picking up shifts at my part-time/PRN job and have been fine. No excessive swelling or pain to report. I'm almost back to my normal workout routine. I went to my step class last week and did pretty good. There were some things I had to modify and I was exhausted but overall I was proud of myself. I saw my ps about 1.5 wks ago and they took some after pics and gave me clearance to start working out my arms. I still haven't done any ab work but I'll start that about 3 months post-op. I'm looking forward to this summer and being able to wear some cute fitted tops. I really don't have too much to report. I'm 90% happy with my results. I absolutely love my breasts and my scarring there is minimal already. I wish I didn't still have a pooch at the bottom but it is a significant improvement from before. Maybe in a few years I'll get a revision, but my next surgery will be a thigh lift. Possibly a butt lift as well. Not sure about that one but the beginning of next year I'll really start looking into this next step and pick a date.

So far I am impressed with Dr. Eby and her office staff. Dr. Eby is very thorough and takes her time. During my initial consultation I did not feel rushed or that I was just another patient. She sat down and got to know me and what I wanted done. She explained everything so that I understood and gave me time to think about things before making a final decision. Her office staff is very professional and nice. I love Lilly. They greet you with a smile. The office itself is very nice with many eclectic pieces of artwork. I have no complaints at this time. I am actually reviewing Dr. Eby and Dr. Aldea because both worked on me. Dr. Eby is my primary doctor and I absolutely love her. She is very patient and compassionate. She explains things very well (they both do) and does not rush through your visit. I absolutely love my breasts and am pleased with the lipo that was done on my lower back. I am 80% pleased with my tummy tuck results so far. I was aware before-hand that I would not be completely flat due to damaged skin in my upper abdomen that would be pulled down. I'm ok with the small pudge that I still have but I'll be glad when/if the pleating right around my incision is gone. I'm only 3 weeks out at this point but overall I am happy and it is a great improvement from before.
