It has almost been 6 months since my "mommy makeover" and I am feeling great! Still having a little swelling at night sometimes but it is only worse right around my time of the month. I am able to work out my abs and mid section even harder now so I am feeling the pain a little more the next day but I believe it is well worth it. My incision is still numb, but when I rub on my scar gell it tingles afterwards. Not sure if the gel or the added pressure from rubbing it in does that. My PS does not do Lipo above the incision site, he said it was so that the skin would reattach easily and more firmly. I still have a small amount of baby fat above the center of my incision that bothers me and I often wonder if my PS just wanted me to have to pay for another round of Lipo later on. My inner thigh lipo sites are still tender and sensitive. That can be very annoying. My breast augmentation to help lift me up is completely healed. At times I do wish I had not been so energetic when choosing an implant size as I have trouble finding bras, dresses and shirts that fit well. Although, it does help my waist look smaller.
All in all I am very please with the Tummy Tuck results, wish the leg lipo areas were a little better and am happy with my BA look. I would definitely do it again! It was a pain well worth it. I will post some new.updated pics this week.

You look fantastic. When did you feel that you got your final shape? 1 month? 2 months? 3 months? 6 months? Do you still feel your body is changing or have you started to plateau out? As for the abdominal lipo, my PS said that he normally does contour lipo on the hips, but little or no lipo of the abdomen because there's already too much disruption with the dissections, that with extensive lipo of the abdomen, the area does not heal well. That sounds believable to me. Scar looks good too.

I feel like I am still changing, I got to a really good point at around 4 months PO but then picked up a little weight and had to work harder on my butt and legs again. My wieght has remained around the same since the surgery, I would like to lose another 5-10 lbs but am happy with where I am at right now. I had flank and inner/outer thigh lipo done. Than included my lower back, hips and sides as well as my inner and outer thighs.

Thanks for your response. When did you feel that you got your final body (JUST FROM THE SURGERY PART ALONE)? When did all the swelling go down, so that you felt that, THIS IS FINALLY IT? I realize that the additional improvement is the past 2 months was probably from a combination of diet and exercise. I am PO week 4, and I'm happy with my shape now. If I have no additional improvements from this day forward, that's fine with me. If I get better than this, that's icing on the cake. I'm just wondering if I'll get even "skinner" than I am now. Thanks for your quick response. Your latest pics look fantastic. All the best to you.

I don't know if I have actually had a "This is it" moment...I remember feeling less puffy and swollen around week 9/10 but my DR wanted me to wait to go back to the gym until week 12. I may have cheated and gone to do a little cardio before then but I really needed to feel like I was working towards an end goal on my own level. Sitting around sedentary is not my style.

Just looked at your 12 week pics again. Looks really good!!!! There's a significant difference between week 6 and week 12. Do you have any recent pics of yourself? I feel like my left lower abdomen and hip area is a little fuller than my right side. Oh Well, I'll wait and see what happens.

I will work on posting new pics tomorrow... I think I will have time. Do you sleep on your left side more? Our bodies tend to adjust, water,fluids and swelling seem to settle more in certain places. Just think how swollen your feet get after standing for 8-10 hrs.

I had my 12 week post-op check-up on Tuesday evening and my PS said everything looks good. The swelling right above my incision is normal and could last a few more months. I am very happy with the results and can't wait to see what my 1 year pictures look like compared to my pre-surgery ones. Pics have been uploaded from today.
