This is a close up of my scars from the front.
Oh yeah I wanted to say as well that I did not expect to experience a kind of bloating from below the incision site. But I did read about it before I got the surgery. I guess the seperation of the skin can prevent your body from being able to move the water inside your body back up so it kind of settles in some places. By the end of the day it is the worse but over night it gets better as I'm laying down. It's still happening some but I'm looking forward to being 100% healed.

Six-ish month update
Well it's been over six months since I had my mommy makeover. I took some time to look at my before pictures to compare with the pictures from today. I cried a little again as I had forgot just what all my pregnancies had done to my body. I love my new body!
I took close up pictures of my scars. I can't believe how good they look! I tried to get pictures of them that really showed but IRL they look even better than in these pictures! Dr Yates really works magic and I can't recommend him highly enough.

3 Weeks After Surgery
It's been just over 3 weeks since my surgery and I've now had the drains and the tape removed. I was nervous about the drain removal and watched a bunch of videos on the process. It wasn't too bad. It kind of felt like a prolonged pinch.
As for the tape removal, it was like unwrapping a gift! My scars are phenominal and I've barely started the healing process. Dr. Yates works magic with closing the incision sites. I started the scar cream yesterday and I'm looking forward to the healing process. I'll have another appointment in 3 months but am including pictures of all the tape removed.
I have a bit of swelling going on unfortunately and all I can do is play the waiting game. I can't fit into anything but dresses right now, so that's a bummer, but on the plus side, I get to go shopping for new tops! I found a couple of bra sites that tailor towards enhanced clients and by their measurements, I'm now a 28 H. In regular clothing stores, I'm a 32 DD. I purchased a bra from one of those sites and plan on getting a bra from Victoria's Secret this weekend to compare the two.
As far as recovery, everything is going well. I was cleared to go back on the elliptical as long as I don't use the swinging arms and go at a moderate pace. I can pick up my baby but not my older toddlers yet. I was basically able to take care of the house after the first week but now I can do just about everything without assistance minus heavy lifting.
