Time for Me, Mommy of 3 - Southern New Jersey~Voorhees, NJ

So a year has passed. I can say it's been an experience. Am I pleased, yes. Could I be flatter..probably...Could my breast be perkier...probably, Will I go for a revision...No. My scars have healed nicely..crazy thing is my scars on the left side of my body healed much better than the right side. Go figure!
Overall I got what I was told by the doctor and what I expected. Hubby did have to remind me a few times that my stomach will not look like someone who was a size two who had a tummy tuck. I say that to say If you read and look and compare constantly it will probably drive you crazy and once I stopped doing that I fell more in love with my tummy tuck ands breast lift outcome. Thank you all for sharing your journeys and listening to mine. To those who are contemplating surgery, do your research, don't be afraid to speak up and tell your ps what you want. Here are my before and after pictures.

Hi ladies,

It's been a really long time, I haven't had much time to post. I decided to post a few new pictures so you can see my progress. A few things, one I hate my belly button. Actually I think it's up too high. So to make it look alittle better I decided to go and get it pierced. Ouch. Even pierced I still don't like it. My scars are healing nicely. My left breast is still larger than the right. Not to thrilled with that. If I lift up my right arm and look on the bottom part of my breast it looks like there is a ripple there. I'll post a picture of that next. I do think my stomach could be flatter or tighter but as my husband and I were talking we both agreed that we don't want it looking too artificial if I were to get a revision. I'm a meaty 5'2 girl and Im not sure if I want to chance it. I have been working out with a trainer and My muscles are extremely tight. I'm going to give it a few more months to see if my stomach gets flatter, hopefully. I'll keep you guys posted. other than that ladies not much else to say. Wishing everyone happy healing and happy holidays!!!

Thank goodness my ps told me my scars would look the worse in month 2, while my tummy tuck scar is flattening out it still looks a little dark maybe purplish. These past two weeks have been crazy, my breast are tender to the touch especially the left one. He pain is near the outside of the breast. A few days it was not to the touch, not sure what that's all about but I'm going to see my ps tomorrow. Also, my stomach is swollen and hard. From under my belly button all the way down to my mound. This just came from out of nowhere, maybe this is part of the healing process. I did start working out but there is no way in hell I can do a normal crunch. The only. Crunch I can do is the reverse one. But what I did fine out is that I do much better doing ab exercises when I'm standing working out. Can't do planks either, my stomach is just not ready. Well that's it for now, happy healing everyone.
