I have been quiet on rs. But enjoy reading and seeing you all lovely ladies updates! Overall i have no regrets but do not like my ends of my incision on my sides. I saw my doc on jan 4th she advise i need a procedure called the belt. I really dont want to. Not like i have the money. :( next procedure i would like to save up for are my arms the wings. I am hoping when i see the doc in june see can have a chance in mind with my ends. I understand i swelling can go up to 6 months or more. Is why im waiting patiently. .... ya right! Lol! I gotta be realistic but it bothers me :(

You look good. Ok now what is the belt?

Thank you! I do love the new me but just those ends ... puts a dent to it!:-(
The belt is a procedure that goes around your back. like a tummy tuck but on the back side with no muscle repairs of course.

Awh ok. Now why is she pushing for a procedure like that when all she has to do is clip your dog ears? I mean you look great. Clipping the dog ears is a easy fix. She shouldn't need to cut you all around again.

I know that is what i think. But when i saw her jan 4th she aaid they arent dog ears :( im hoping june when i see her. She has a change of heart.

You should get a second opinion from another surgeon just in case they say a different story. Because it would be a pity to have a scar all the way around if you didn't need it. I thought too, just a little nip off at the ends and youre perfect :)

That is all I need ... the little nip off each ends and I will be perfect! I am hoping the doc has a change of heart in june and says so! I am going to see if I can find a doc that can give me a second opinion without charging me.

You look great! But I do agree with you, those do look like dog ears, small ones but your skin points and she scar doesn't transition smoothly to the back skin that wasn't pulled tight. Most doctors numb you in the office and just trim the little corner piece and close it up with New sutures, easy peasy!! So if definitely push for that if they don't go down my June. Take those pictures and post them on the "ask a doctor" part of this website and see what the other doctors say.
I n is you live your new tummy but here's nothing wrong with wanting the ends fixed so don't feel bad about that :) your expectations are very realistic :)

Awww thank you for your feedback! You are awesome! I agree! The doc did say about the office procedure. When I saw her. Doc said in June she will determine then if any changes need to be made. June is just along time away and I am afraid she wont :-( we will see. Ask the doctor website.... I gotta figure out how to do that. LOL!

I am extremely happy with the results from Dr. Burt too. She is a miracle worker! Today is 6 weeks from my TT, and I still keep imagining my big stomach being there but it's not...lol Kinda like a phantom limb syndrome. I still can't get used to it, but it's awesome.
I see her tomorrow as she is also doing breast reconstruction surgery on me, and I am hoping to get a date to replace these painful tissue expanders with implants.
Looking forward to another successful procedure from her, and would really like all of my surgery to be finished up before the start of the new year.
She did extensive work on me with the tummy tuck, and I have absolutely no regrets and are referring anybody who wants any sort of PS done over to her.

What did your doc say about the dog ears? Are you still swelling?
K
January 14, 2016
She claims they arent dog ears. That i would hv to get a procedure called the belt that is my back lift. I truly think it is just the tips thou :( i see her again in june to determine since the swelling is still there. No as bad thou. Just depends what i eat and at the end of the day. I also hv a bad digesting the doc says. That i agree. I always did. So far no regrets love the front view but not my end tips view.

Can you upload a close up pic of the sides of the scars? It does look like a dog ear from the pic in the pants where the scar sticks out.
