Looking good :) I want a tattoo on my side too, as soon as I decide on a design I'm going for it. What kind of tattoo are you thinking of?

HI, just quickly read through your review here and have a few thoughts. Re bb revision, it really is a very simple procedure carried out with local anaesthetic and takes about 10 minutes (no down time -I drove myself home afterwards) The big bulge under your ribs is most likely your stomach (I get it too) I think all too often we think of our stomach as being the area below the bb but if you look at the anatomy of a body it is actually a lot higher up than we think and when we eat, it swells. After my tt I was disappointed that I didn't have a 'waist' all these other ladies get one, where's mine!! My 'waist' actually measures 27.5" so why can't I see it and why does it look like I still have a muffin top! I have now come to the realisation that the underlying 'cause' is my body shape, I may have long skinny legs but I am very short waisted/high hipped(distance between top of hip bone and lowest rib is about the width of two fingers :( ) That cannot be changed, I am slowly getting my head around it ;) I guess what I am trying to say is that some things can be improved on and others we just have to accept that we will never get our own personal ideal of perfection xx

It has been a year since my procedure. I have my good days and bad days. Mostly bad because I swell a lot especially, when I eat salty foods or when I am about to get my period. I am glad I had procedure done. Especially because of how great my cloths fit. My sides are still sticking out. I was going to have liposuction in June but canceled. I am getting liposuction on 9/10/15. Hopefully it will get rid of my dog ears on my sides. I am still numb on my stomach. My scar is still visible in some spots.

I had scheduled liposuction for June 8th. But I canceled it do to work. I am rescheduling lipo. I feel so swelled up. I hate the bulge on my upper abs. Did not post pictures because I am to mad about the swelling and how I look.
