7 months post-op
Hi Ladies,
All is going well with my MM. I am not completly happy as I thought I would be at this point. I have dog ears and marks that are dark around my tummy which is strange because I don't know how I ended up with them but Dr H said it could've been from the garments.
Well I went to my 6th month post-op on Feb 2nd and Dr H said everything was healed as expected but I did express to him that I wasn't happy with them dog ears which I had already told him at an appointment I had to make because I had a suture pop on my BB and I felt it was infected so they had me email a picture but if I felt more comfortable I could come in, so I did which was the next day. So he checked me out and said it was fine and nothing to worry about and that sometimes happens. So that day I told him why did I still look swollen at this point and he said I still had 2 more months to go and if wasn't better by then that my options where to extend the scar so he could pull more skin down or have to do lipo which of course lipo is my choice but I would need to pay just for anesthesia which would cost me $1,500.
So at my 6 month appt I said OK doc what are we going to do about these ( dog ears) and he said lipo so because I was going to go under again I asked if he did fat transfer and to my surprise he does! So he asked what areas would I want to transfer fat from so I said my inner thighs, back fat, arms and of course the extra skin from above my scar. His qoute was 3,800 which I didn't seem to find bad but I'm not sure because I didn't like his before and after pics of the fat transfer to the butt.
Well now I'm on a hunt for a butt surgeon but feel bad because I'm having to look for another surgeon to fix what I'm not happy with I also don't think Dr.H was to aggressive with the lipo he did on me because I have no shape. I will say I do love my boobies.
So yea I'm don't know what to do now, either go to Doc H or go else where... Ladies a little advise would help also I have included pics.

Drain still in and almost 4weeks
Hi there ladies!! Well I'm a bit annoyed because I'll be 4 weeks this Thursday and still have this damn drain in. It seemed like it wanted to slow down because yesterday it was around 35cc but today it end up at 50cc. I don't know if it could be because today was my first day back to work but that really sucked having to go to work with this drain still in not cool :( I have called several times to Dr. H's office just to be on the safe side and the girls just say give it a couple of more days that it sounds like I'm almost there but I'm concerned that I could end up catching an infection and when I stretch it feels like it's starting to reopen my cut around that area and I have yet to see Dr H since I had the pain pump removed which was 4 days post op which I think I should've already seen him by now but I'm just told once it's ready to be pulled because he won't pull it until it's ready to come out but I did send Christie pics thru email and she said I'm healing as expected but that was at 2 1/2 weeks but I guess it's just the waiting game for now. But geez makes me wonder what am I doing wrong I mean could it be because I was a little on the big side that my body isn't responding how it's supposed to I know everyone heals different but when you see that most ladies get it pulled like 12-14 days post op it makes me worry big time and it doesn't help when they tell you just let us know when it's below 25cc so you can come in and have it removed!! I'm also still swollen big time but having no pain which is good!
But on the bright side my boobs I have no issues with and still love them :) well I'll be calling the office tomorrow just to put me at ease and I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. Sorry ladies had to vent lol

Day 11 update Mommy Makeover
Hey ladies...sorry it's has taken me a while to post but I was actually unsure about posting I guess I must be impatient and didn't expect all this swelling and bruising and so far don't like how my TUMMY looks...looks bad I know. Well I started feeling more like myself around day 8 I'm still sleeping on my recliner because I don't want to cause any damage to myself by trying to get out of bed and it's pretty comfortable lol. I also started applying Arnicare cream on day 8 didn't know I could've used it way sooner then that had emailed Christie asking her when I could I use both creams That I had bought the day of my surgery. Well I still have my drain in so hopefully sometime this week it stays at 25cc within a 24hr period so we can get this thing out! So The one thing I do love are my boobs and their healing and can't wait till they start to settle. Well ladies here are some pics on how my body looks on day 11: (
