Wow that IS fading nicely
Yes it is! Very happy about that part. :)
You look great. Your tummy is a transformation from what you had. I'm glad to know someonE else used the arnica tablets. I did and It helped me so much along with the bromelain tablets. Great results hope you continue to have a smooth recover. Happy healing
Thanks so much! :) You look absolutely amazing! You were a brave chica & did it all in one swoop! Smart!!! Arnica will be my friend once again this time around. It's wonderful!

Tummy Tuck Scar - 1 yr (almost!) Update

I don't have many pictures of my scar from the initial start. The scar was VERY red & looked nothing like it does now. So happy everyone was right about that part (it gets lighter over time). The laser scar therapy Dr. Fernau offers his patients is a wonderful perk! It's very light in comparison to other scars I've seen.

2015 To-Do List: BREAST AUG.!! :)

I met with Dr. Fernau very recently and have decided to move forward with a breast augmentation. Plan are nearly in place and I'm so excited!!! I'm going to use silicone implants and will be a D -cup at the other side. A new journey for me!

Boobs are great!! I Love mine!! My only warning would be that when you are a D cup- those things are HEAVY!! I got mine about 12 years ago, and after gravity did it's thing, I have deep marks in my shoulders from bra straps. I'm undecided on a lift (not in the budget now anyway) but I really believe if I had gone with a C they'd still be a little perkier.. Your TT results are amazing- do you have any before / after pics of the scar treatment? Also, do you remember how soon you were able to safely navigate the stairs. I have bedrooms and both full bathrooms upstairs, but not a good place for a recliner. trying to figure our where my nest will be..
I can't imagine! I 'do' know I won't go higher than per 400 cc's. Maybe that will help, I'm not sure. Fingers crossed they look awesome after! :) I do have pix of the scar therapy. It TRULY works & it's included with Dr. Fernau's fee. You can go as many times as you feel necessary, as well. I think I went Jan-Nov 2014. The stairs were not too bad after 4-5 days. I'm a pokey healer though. :/. You'll probably do laps around me, ha ha!! I would recommend using your upstairs for the first few days. After your 1st Dr. Appt, then maybe think about downstairs. My hubby helped me w/walking the first 2 days, otherwise, I may have needed a walker. This is a tough recover overall, but MAN are the end results worth it!!! :))
So exciting
We shall see, mmm? lol. How are you making out these days? You 'look' amazing as always!!!! :)
I'm all good have revision sx Feb 18 and I'm looking for to that. And it IS EXCITING! You should definitely be excited you already look awesome and this sx will totally top it off.
My breast augmentation is scheduled for April 1st! Eeeeeeee!!!! :))
