WORTH IT$21,000
60 lb weight loss 10 years ago from diet and exercise left loose skin. I am finally mentally and financially ready to take this on. It is not for the weak! You have to have a strong support system behind you. You will needs help with everything for at least a week. (Bathing, preparing food, kids, laundry everything).

I did not freak out. But I've had lots of surgeries. So I know what to expect going in. You just have to have trust in your physician.

I am still swollen. But I know that is very normal. The hubs and I went on a date night before last. Needless to say, I was exhausted afterwards. I am still not walking 100% upright. But it gets better each day. It's much worse in the morning. The pictures attached were actually taken day before yesterday. I am still in the original compression binder. However, I bought a Maidenform compression garment. I'm going to try that out today. I go back for my two week visit on Tuesday. I had the TT w/ Lipo and a breast lift w/implants. I took off from work for 3 weeks. But I may do one extra week to be safe. I am very pleased with my incisions and my progress. The spots on my left side are from a huge blister and skin breakdown that occurred. Both are healing nicely.

No. I had two drains in my pubic area. But they were out in a week. She will do drains. It helps with the swelling.

So I have to ask about pain ? Do you feel that the exparel helped you and lasted ?
April 26, 2017
I had little to no pain. I still have no feeling in my belly from my belly button to my incision due to cutting the nerves. It may or may not come back. But I don't even notice it anymore. It's very common. My incision did not hurt at all.

2 week check up
Went for my 2 week check up today! Nothing but great vibes. She took most of the Steri Strips off my breast incisions. They look great! She also removed the surgical tape off of my abd incision. It looks amazing. Pubic Mound is still swollen from the Lipo. I won't be able to start my scar therapy until 2 more weeks. But I feel fantastic!
Thank you for your honest review. It sounds like you're doing really well so far. I hope you'll continue to keep us posted on your progress.
