9-10 weeks PO- 95% back to normal
Hi all!! Whew can’t believe it’s been two months :) so recovery wise I would say I’m 95% back to normal - I still have some tightness that affects when I run or do certain exercises but not much else. I will swell if I’ve been on my feet or done a lot of physical activity all day (eg the day after I put up the Xmas tree). I’ve also gained 2 pounds in the last three weeks but I’m gonna blame that on thanksgiving and slacking on my workout schedule. I am still doing my embrace treatments and will post an update of the scars soon when I change my next strips. I think they are helping but I’m not 100% convinced they’re worth the price. I’m also using bio oil on my stretch marks and the ends of my scars and I do think that’s helping. I’m religious about it though, twice a day.
What else.... ah my right side still has this puckering dog ear thing happening. Can’t see it under the embrace strips but it’s there. My doc said we would look at it all again at 6 months, it is a little flatter but definitely noticeable and my left side isn’t like that. Other than that I’m doing well, very happy with my results and I’m determined to lose some of my back fat and inner thigh chub so the rest of me matches my tummy by summer lol. I’ve posted pics of my two new bathing suits I’m super excited about. Just for reference I was 5’2” 165lbs prior to surgery and 149 lbs currently. Other than my terrible Thanksgiving diet I actually have been making an effort to eat a lot more lean and get in at least 3 days of cardio in.

3rd Embrace Treatment- scar healing
I just finished my third scar treatment, it seems to be going well my only complaint is that the embrace bandages don't last a full 10 days. That said where the scar is flat it's doing well. Where the scar or skin was slightly folded or bunch it's a bit darker.
I know it's too soon to talk scar revision but I'm hoping the scar on my right hip will flatten out and perhaps not migrate much higher. Im posting a picture where I circle it and the area above it is where the lipo was done and appears a little uneven. I think if I lose a little weight it may help the appearance. The massages I do at night and on the morning have softened that area. Hope everyone else is doing well!

18 Days of Embrace - 2 treatments
my second treatment of embrace treatment only last 8 days, but I think it looks better. My only concern is my right side I have a section of skin that is kind of "bunched up", not sure how to describe it but it's not as smooth as other areas. Not quite sure if it will turn into a dog ear but I'll have to doc look at it when I go in for my follow up. I've never a deep or wide scar so i'm hoping these don't stay red.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
3734 W. Chester Pike, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania
Dr Subbio has been nothing but caring, professional and reassuring during this entire process. Having visited several doctors I knew what I didn't want and I also knew what I was looking for in a surgeon and his staff. Once I met Dr Subbio, I knew I found the right person ! He goes above and beyond, including giving you his personal cell # and checking up on you frequently.
