WORTH IT
Tummy Tuck
How satisfied am I with my tummy tuck results? 89% Lol! How grateful am I that I was able to afford the surgery and for choosing the right surgeon? 100%. Would I do it again? Absolutely! I was more uncomfortable than in pain. The waiting to see final results was unbearable too. Lol! Everything is all good in the hood though. (Smiley face)
Word of Advice:
If you're not at your ideal weight, please lose weight first and then have the surgery. Your expected results will be guaranteed. Since, I've loss 10lbs, my results look even better.
Revision/s:
I have had an in office revision surgery in June to get rid of dog ears. My hips that I complained about look a lot better with the dogs ears being removed. Thank God! Not 100% happy about the hipps though. I'm still thinking about getting more lipo done to my hips and back. I'm waiting to reassess things in December to see if I still need/want it done.
Good luck to those of you who are within your one year recovery. Happy Healing!

I'm working out 4-5 days a week. Having the surgery has motivated me to be consistent with my workout schedule. Why? Because now I see noticeable results! I think working out has some what enhanced my results. Yay! I thought the surgery was all I needed.... WRONG! I had to put in some work too, to get the body I wanted. I will say that I LOVE the way I look in fitted dresses! I do still need and want some more lipo on my hips and back. I'm learning to accept that I'm not going to get my pre - babies body back. Lol! I wouldn't mind something close to it though . :-) #lovehaterelationshipwithmybody

I read your review from the beginning to end and I must say your body looks fabulous. I read several times that you have a love hate relationship with your body. Remember love starts from the inside out. Once the inside matches the outside......AMAZING!!!

@HappyMom in WA: Thank you for the compliment! I love how flat my stomach is and how small my is. I hate my hips. I think I need more lipo done. I also have an area on my scar that has hard scar tissue that doesn't seem to be decreasing with daily massages. Hopefully, these areas of concerns will resolve on their own with time . Good luck with your surgery! To be honest you do have a long road ahead of you as far as the recovery process is concerned. Once you really internalize that, you'll be okay. You'll get through it just fine. I wish I knew what I know now about the road to recovery.
