10 month update: shape keeps getting better
So I’m 10 months out. Any minor inconsistencies I’ve seen have smoothed over or just don’t notice. My hourglass figure has taken form and stayed true.
I’ve been working out regularly to help build muscle to areas that have been saggy, like the butt and abs.
I’m using bio oil and Vaseline as scar care treatment.
My only complaint is that I still have numbness to the lower abdo where the TT scar is. I can’t feel anything and there is some tightness when doing certain yoga poses. But this is expected and should hopefully resolve in the coming months.
Overall I’m really happy I went through with the mommy makeover and it’s money well spent. No regrets.

Update: still happy with results 4 months later
I am 4 months post-op and the swelling is mostly gone. I do wear my compression garment everyday still, although I find it more of a habit than necessity. At night it is more needed due to swelling being more pronounced and the compression garment is just making everything feel better.
For scar care, I use Bio Oil and Vaseline. Once a week I'll do alpha lipoic acid from the ordinary.
It took me a while to start doing HIIT exercises again, maybe around the 3 month mark. I still haven't gotten back in the groove. I am back to my old self though, and work life and social life is back to normal. I haven't gained any weight, I am still maintaining my weight loss.
Overall this surgery was well worth it. I have no regrets and would highly recommend Dr. Ma and the Cosmetic Surgery Clinic

I'm starting this review 4 weeks post-op.
After losing 70+ pounds my body didn't look the same. I spent a few months researching whether or not I wanted to go the surgery route to get my body back. After going to several plastic surgeons in my area, I decided Dr. Ma was the best. She was thorough in the expectations, side effects, outcomes, and answered all my questions. The clinic staff were helpful in answering my questions and getting paperwork for my work as well. All surgical garments were provided.
My implants were 345 and 360 natrelle inspira under the muscle, with a lollipop lift. I had a drainless tummy tuck with lipo to the flank and 'fupa.'
My first week of recovery was surprisingly easy, which can probably be explained to me being healthy, fit and young. I could walk, get out of chairs, do stairs, shower and wash my hair, and make simple foods without issue. I couldn't reach above my shoulders and was hunched over during this time. I did nap frequently and found I got tired after doing any basic 'chore' though. I slept and pretty much lived in a recliner chair. The most annoying part about recovery was the peeing every 2 hours. I barely got any sleep as I was up all night peeing. I mainly took Tylenol for pain management as I thought the pain was tolerable.
My second week was similar to the first week, but not hunched over. It wasn't until the third week that I was standing up fully straight and sleeping in a bed. My breasts were very hard and swollen still.
My fourth week was pretty much back to normal. Near the end of this week I returned to work with some lifting required. My breasts had softened up at this point and feel more normal. I found my abdomen wasn't as swollen. I find coughing, and sneezing to be difficult still.
With the lipo I have the 'fatty deposits' along my sides. On the left side I was able to massage the deposits out between weeks 2-3, but I have a rather large deposit right above my hip that is taking a long time to go away.
I am very confident when all the swelling goes down my results will be what I wanted. I am already more confident in my body.
