One year update: Pain-free recovery (YMMV)

10.09.12 ~ One year post op. I can’t believe...
WORTH IT$12,320
10.09.12 ~ One year post op. I can’t believe it’s been a year already! Sorry I haven’t been on here in awhile. Just had a check up w/ Dr. B the other day, and everything is going fine. My scars are taking a little longer to heal, but I’ve always been a slow healer, so I’m not too worried. Bikini season came and went, and due to my lack of exercising, I never got the abs I wanted…haha. I was finally able to wear a bikini without being ashamed of my body.
Here’s a summary for those who don’t want to read my entire story.
Previous stats:
Height: 5’0”
Bra size: 34A
Weight: 111-113
Current stats:
Bra size: 34C (Full C)
Weight: 106-107
Okay, so I’ve been thinking about the pros and cons of my mommy makeover, and here is the list I came up with:
Pros:
1. I love my new boobs and that they don’t look fake.
2. I love that I can wear tight shirts again. After hiding in baggy shirts all these years, I didn’t realize how much I missed wearing form fitting shirts.
3. I no longer sit around and grab the nastiness (which was my gut) every day.
4. I am finally comfortable with my body.
5. TMI: My husband is always wanting to attack me. haha!
Cons:
1. I had to wipe out our savings account to pay for the procedures (but it was worth it!).
2. Parts of my abdomen are still numb, and sometimes I have itching (or phantom itching) that no amount of scratching will ever satisfy. That’s what really drives me crazy.
3. My husband is always wanting to attack me. My Dr. should offer some husband repellant because sometimes I just need a break…haha!!!
Anyways, good luck to all of you out there considering a MM. To me, it was very well worth it. Send me a message if you have any questions.

6 months post op ~ Scars are healing well. Dr. recommends silicone strips to thin out the thicker scars. My bra size is 34C (full C). I need to work out, so I can get some abs for bikini season!!!

11.10.11 ~ 5 weeks post op. Nothing new to report except that it was probably PMS that was making me so irritable in my last post. My boob pains have gotten a lot better…still sensitive at times, but much, much better overall.
Posting my latest bikini pics and my TT scar.

thanks, waiting to exhale! i am very impressed w/ the tt scar as well...but like i said, my surgeon is a genius! :)
November 12, 2011
wow your scar is probably the best ive seen!! its already so thin and almost invisible...props to your dr!! what are you using on it!?? i use the silicone stick gels strips...my scars pretty good too but yours is even better! go you!!! btw tummy looks awesome too! your so lucky you dont have stretch marks!! hot mama!!
November 12, 2011
thank you, taraf1717! my surgeon is awesome...i told him that i don't heal very well (i tend to form keloids), so he used regular sutures opposed to the dissolvable sutures so that i would have a better scar. the sutures were removed at 11 days post op. per my dr's request, i am currently using mederma 3 times a day since week 3. i can't keep up with the silicone strips...tried that after my last c-section and gave up after a week! i still have stretch marks below my belly button, but they're not as bad as they used to be. :)

How are you doing? Did you get good results from using hybrasil? Your results look amazing too!
March 9, 2012
@fitdiva: i am doing well...thank you for asking! i can't tell if hybrisil is worth the extra $$$. per my doctor's request, i am using mederma on the augmentation and belly button scars, but i don't notice anything significant between those scars and the tummy tuck scar (which is being treated w/ hybrisil). my tt scar is thin but is still raised at some areas. it is a huge improvement over my c-section scar, though!

Not sure if you are still on, but I also am in the Dallas area and have a consult with Dr. B soon for Mommy Makeover. I have 3 kids (all c-sections) and am more nervous about the recovery than anything else. I really appreciated reading your review of Dr. B. Wondering if I have visited your other PS's too :) I have had 3 consults already. Are you happy with your implant size?
