Hi! This month will mark 3 years post-op. I love the procedures I had still. Feeling never returned beneath my belly button.

Some things: 1. I have a consultation for flank lipo today.
2. My right breast is a lot droopier and pointy than my left
3. I think i have a slight dog-ear on my TT scar.

Here’s some photos

Hi everyone. I didn't update last week because I have just been feeling blue. Everyday I am still so swollen and uncomfortable. I just want to be able to fit into my clothes the right way again. I also had a cold last week and i was not able to exercise. I really REALLY wish i would have gotten my flanks lipoed. I absolutley hate them and how i always have a muffin top in clothes still. I have stopped wearing my compression garmet. I feel pretty much normal except when i try to lay on my stomach and at night when my swelling is so awful it feels like my skin is ripping apart.

It's horrible to hear your having the blues. But you look great. Time will continue to pass and things will continue to get better. I am not having lipo done to my flanks either which is disappointing. But on the bright side I have told myself that I will go back and have it done next year before summer and any other tweaks I need. That way will be summer ready. Have asked your ps about having the flanks done?

I did tell him and he said my flanks werent that bad but there is literal muffin top in everyrhing i wear, ever loose clothes. So if it doesnt respond to diet/exercise i will get it lipoed eventually!

Hang in there, your one step closer to your goal. I regret not doing my inter tights, but hey there's always next year. Also, now that your belly is flat by working out and dieting you can lose extra fat. Give yourself time, find something you like to do and do it to keep you occupied.

Im sorry you haven't feel good, Im sure you can burn them at the gym. About the garment, why did you stop using it, did the doctor tell you? I always heard that the garment helps with the swelling. I haven't try to lay on my stomach yet because of my boobs too, but most because I still feel a little sore when I touch it. But hang in there it will get better you'll see

I weighed myself this morning. It upset me really bad. It's the highest weight i've been in a couple years. I am 170.2 and before surgery i was around 163. Ugh. I want to be around 155 but now im scared it might affect my lift.

Started working out again and in the evening i am so swollen its uncomfortable. I started getting my food back in check yesterday.

I am feeling very upset right now.

Don't be so hard on yourself you still look good, just check your food intake and salty food that's the worse for the swelling!!!

Hang in there! I think mostly is swelling and with time that will change. Keep up with the heathyeating and exercising and you will see results :)
