I'm doing very well. Swelling is gone, and I'm just now starting to sculpt my body again. I've been working on building up my push up count. Pre surgery, I could do about 4 sets of 10. This week, I can now do one set of ten, maybe twice a day. It's crazy how fast your muscles regress without exercise. I've started working my abs recently, too. I see my PS next month to discuss a revision for the sag. They're not too bad, and they look smokin' in a bra I must say, haha!!!!!

I am still doing well. I had my 2 month follow up w/ the PS about 2 weeks ago. He said I am healing well, but he's not thrilled about my breasts. Apparently, I am one of those lucky (sarcasm) people whose skin likes to sag. My breasts in the last several weeks have started to sag a good deal. He told me preop that I would be prone to sagging, but I figured he meant years from now. So, he wants to see me in 2 more months to see if they are staying about the same, or sagging more. At that time, we will discuss a revision. He said he could maybe make the breasts a little bigger, and lift again, to keep them up since my tissues like to sag. I am willing to go through it again, b/c I really liked how my breasts looked before the sag set in. Now that they are bigger, and heavier, the sag is really noticeable to me, as in I feel the skin hanging, and am constantly re-adjusting them in my bra. I really do NOT want to pay for the whole breast surgery over again, so we'll see how much the revision will run, and take it from there. The TT has healed beautifully, and I'm super happy with the results.

I've only had the consultation so far, but I was impressed. Dr. Dewire and his staff were all very professional and personable. I felt welcomed and at ease when I was there. I researched PS for a while before choosing him. After meeting him, I was sold. He showed me what he thought he could realistically make my belly look like. As far as the breasts, he discussed in detail how the procedure is done. As far as size, his approach is to make the breasts as big as he can without compromising a beautiful shape. I told him I'd like to be a DD, but I have full confidence that he'll make them look great for my body. **After surgery: I have been very happy with Dr. Dewire and his staff. The procedure went very smoothly, and I am very happy so far with my results. He is funny, and has a great bedside manner. I will say that he has the "rip the band-aide off quickly" approach. He pulled the steri strips off quickly, and when he pulled both drains out quickly at the same time, I thought I was going to come off the table. But, all that being said, I like that approach. I'd rather be in pain for a couple of seconds, and get it over with. I see now why women have given him such great reviews. I am satisfied, and would definitely see him again in the future if I wanted further procedures.
