My reservations on having the surgery were #1- I like to limit my liabilities and dont like having to "go under" unless I have to and #2 - I was nervous about the scar I would have and was afraid that my husband would feel I looked a little "Frankensteinish". I eventually got over #1, and as for the scar, although it is a very long scar, it has faded very nicely and is VERY Flat, not raised or thick at all. My husband says he barely notices it at all and he LOVES the results! So nice to be able to wear a bikini again!! The recovery was no big deal; I was actually completely off the pain meds by day 2. Although you are uncomfortable sleeping and trying to stand up straight (which you cant for about 2 weeks). Recovery just requires some time off and some patience. by week 3 I was feeling good and by week 4 I was great. For me the most uncomfortable part was having the drain tubes taken out, but Dr. Shaws staff is amazing and will do everything possible to make you comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Shaw. He is the ONLY Doctor I will entrust with my plastic surgery needs.
