29 Years Old, Been Planning This for Years. I Finally Did It! :) - Seattle, WA

...its been a little over 4 months since ive had the MM surgery and I'm feeling great. I think my scars are fading pretty well especially at this point. I still have a little bit of what feels like scar tissue in the center of my tummy tuck incision but its less and less noticable each month. I wear a 36D bra and I absolutely love my new girls ;) I will try to continue to post every few months on my progess.

...I feel about 95% like "me" again. Sometimes, I honestly forget I even had surgery 7 weeks ago, I feel that great :-) I had my last appointment with Dr Salemy last week, he took post op pictures and said he wanted to see me one last time before we move out of state in a few months. I no longer wear the compression garment. I still feel some tightness in the upper abdomen area and from about my belly button to the TT incision line its still pretty numb.

I recently eased back into my gym routine. I can walk at an incline no problem and use the elliptical for now. I am going to ease myself into running, I don't believe I'm quite able to get back to running again quite yet. I can lift some free weights but I notice my pec muscles are still slightly tender so I am easing back into that as well and limiting myself to very light weights for now. It feels so good to be back at the gym!! My next goal is to lose the extra lbs i gained during my recovery. I hated being inactive all those weeks, and my body needs to get toned back up. I'm working on it. I go while my daughter's at preschool 4x's per week and sometimes on the weekends if I have time.

I went bra shopping too. I got some really pretty new bras with my VS gift card. After surgery, I measure a 36C, but some styles I fit better in a 36D and some other styles I can even fit in a 36DD! I still cant believe i can fit into that big of a cup lol. VS has some weird sizing for sure.
...Overall, I'm very happy with my results :-). I will most likely update monthly or every 3 months now.

I'm feeling like myself again (almost fully) at this point ;) i stopped taping my TT incisions last week, just using bacitracin each day. I use the scar therapy at bedtime. Late last week, I had what is called a spitting suture under my left breast incision. Dr Salemy looked at it and told me its common during this stage of healing. I've been putting bacitracin and bandaids over it since then. It seems to be healing nicely. I noticed a few days ago I have another on on the right breast incision as well so I just keep my incisions super clean and covered.

I have my 6 week appointment this week and I'm suppose to get my after photos taken. I am so happy that I had this surgery. I notice a huge change in my self-confidence. I don't regret this surgery at all. Dr Salemy is amazing! :D

As far as exercise Ive been trying to walk each day. I cant wait to run and lift again, I miss it so much-so I can't wait till I'm able to get back to my normal routine. Each week gets better!
