How has everything been? Can u do a 6 month post with any suggestions and advice you have since then? I'm trying to lose weight in order to get a TT. I'm on the fence about getting a BA working on building some muscles first. Consulted a PS said I need to have the muscles tighten (forgot the name) too, plus loose skin, lipo. Re read ur post to keep me inspired for clean eating for great results. So far only 5 lbs but hoping to lose more and be in better health so healing is easier.
Thank you for sharing. Happy new year!

I am doing really well. I went back to work full time and also par-time. I am working out consistently focusing on my legs, glutes and upper body except for chest. I started weight training a week ago with light weights and body weight exercises. I love my progress. I wear my compression garment at all times except when working out. I wear the abdominal binder and waist trimmer belt. I am using the Rosehip oil and biocorneum on my belly button and scar under breast and TT scar. I will restart Embrace this weekend as suggested by Dr. Reish. I had a small complication with drainage which caused redness in the TT area. As you recall I had the drainage from hell fover three weeks. The redness has cleared I am happy for that!! On Tuesday I will start lymphatic massages! I got a great deal by a NYC lincesed post op therapist at Rejuveface and Body Spa. They have a promotion 15-60 minutes massage for $650.00. The swelling is going down. I had had regular contact with Dr.'Reish. He continues answering all my questions and concerns. I am extremely happy with my results so far !!

How are you doing?
September 11, 2016
I am doing well and really busy!! I went back to work! How are you doing? Are you following up with your TT or still unsure. I will be posting my one month progress shortly!!
September 11, 2016
I'm unsure. I was expecting to hear back from the office manager about first deposit to secure my date but she hasn't called yet. With so many plastic surgeons in NYC, we have options. I need that kind of follow up. but I am still considering him among others
September 11, 2016
I rarely had contact with the contact manager. I remember calling her to set up my deposit. After securing my deposit I had another consultation with Dr. Reish and he gave me his cell number. All my contacts have been directly with him and I have contacted him regularly before and after my surgery!! I hope this helps. He answers me within minutes when ever I text him!! I am very happy with my results so far. Remember the main follow up should be from your Doctor and he has been top notch so far!!
September 11, 2016
Thank you for that. It does help. I would love to see a close up of your scar. I'm concerned about pleating due to the short incision. Of course dog ears are also a concern although would be a simple revision if they occur. I think I'll email him directly with my concerns.
September 12, 2016
Great! That is a good idea! I believe I just posted a close up of
My scar just a month after surgery!! I think it looks good. Obviously, is going to look better with time and hoping embrace therapy will make my scar even better!! I hope this helps!!
