Disappointed with my tummy :(
Well anyway, I’m on here looking at TT revision reviews because I really wonder if I might need one. I can’t AFFORD it, but I feel like my results aren’t typical, compared to everyone I see on here. The sad thing is that I’ve been working out and trying so hard to get them in shape and I’m still not noticing any changes. I see all the ladies results on here and can’t help but get insanely jealous - their stomachs are totally flat. I guess I’m just really sad because I thought mine would look like that, and I hope when I see my doctor again she’ll assure me that I CAN get a flat tummy by strengthening it. Anyway, that’s all. If I get good results from exercise, I’ll be sure to post them here :)
Some thoughts from almost 8 months out.
Hello girls :)
Sorry I’ve been away so long. I forgot about RS for a while, truth be told, which is ironic considering how obsessed I used to be! I’ve been thinking about my surgery and my new body a lot lately, and it made me think of coming back on here.
First of all, I’ve been exercising again. A lot of yoga and weights at home since I still can’t find the motivation for the gym, but it’s something! Even this far out, my stomach muscles are very tender when trying to work them! It’s a strange kinda pain. In my last post I brought up how my tummy wasn’t flat (I’ve seen women who got tummy tucks when theirs looks like mine does AFTER one tummy tuck!!) and I mentioned it at my last appt too. She took some pics for Dr Pan but agreed it didn’t look totally flat. She said there might have be some muscle weakness there, or maybe I started doing too much too soon? There’s still the slightest separation right above my pubic bone. I think my muscles had been stretched and neglected for SO long that this was the best they could do lol. Anyway, we both agreed that the first step was to try and get them in shape and see what results I could get. There’s no possibility of a second tummy tuck for me, it was a stretch financially to begin with, and also I think I need to stop chasing a dream of perfection and be grateful for the body that I have now.
The second thing is my left breast, which I did think looked kinda low. She said it had bottomed out a little, but since I had no breast lift that wasn’t unheard of. My poor boobs were SO saggy before, I’m not surprised! But I guess it’s just hard to come to terms with sometimes. You have all these wish pics and thoughts in your mind of the perfect body you’ll have afterwards, but sometimes it doesn’t work out like that. You can never tell until you do it.
I’ve had to remind myself that I was lucky enough not to have complications or any of the horror stories I’ve seen on here. Is my body exactly like I thought it would be at this point? No. Can I wear tight shirts that I would never, EVER have worn before? Hell yeah! Underwire bras are still a [RS bleep] to buy and uncomfortable no matter which I wear, but at least they look damn good ;) I guess the only real thing that matters is I wouldn’t change anything. If I went back, I’d still get it done again, and I’m still way happier than I was at this time last year when I was first going to consultations. So, yeah. I’m still happy, but I’m realizing that it’s gotta come from within — not just from a new bod.
Much love xo

When oh when will my tummy be flat?
So I’ve noticed something, as my swelling has been slowly getting better... it’s not just the swelling that’s keeping my stomach from looking flat! The whole thing is kinda popped out, I don’t know ow to explain it. It’s kinda disappointing, but maybe I just need to wait? Or get my abs in shape? That might be difficult though because the muscles there get sore really often. In fact, I don’t know if I pulled something the other day or what, but the top part of my tummy is pretty sore, it even bothers me when I blow my nose?? SO FRUSTRATING! Here’s hoping that it’s all part of the (very long) healing process, I guess. Happy Thanksgiving, girls!
Provider Review
Both my husband and I felt confident with Dr Pan from my free consultation. She's genuine and competent, and the few concerns I had were put to rest after that first meeting. I was very hesitant about having a mommy makeover instead of just a tummy tuck, mostly because I was afraid of going too big or looking fake. Even up to my surgery date, I wasn't sure I'd really made my wishes clear enough; unlike I'd read on so many reviews here, Dr Pan doesn't like to talk cc's or cup sizes, but rather the look her patient wants to achieve. I trusted her enough to let her take the reins and do what looked best. My trust was definitely not misplaced! She got it absolutely perfect. I'm petite, but I have a well balanced hourglass figure now, and everything looks so natural and well done that I can hardly believe it. I trusted my gut when I chose her, and it was definitely the right call. She's wonderful. I couldn't be happier with the results!
