It was a busy day for me. I did so much walking as I had some classes to attend. I am still tight, swollen, and have pain on pressure on any part of my mid section. Resting up tonight.

Everything went great! Dr Perez was so comfortable to talk with. He knows his stuff.. I'm still healing, but things look good so far. I Love love the anesthesiologist she really helped me with my nervous and all of the staff were understanding with great personalities.

Well I think you look great and I don't think your incision looks crooked. The scar will fade out and it will change over time I wouldn't worry. But thank you I really think my dr did an awesome job. He's super cute too! Lol. I agree the CG is annoying but I really think it helps with keeping the swelling down. My dr wants me to wear mine for a while. It's tough especially in the hot summer. I'm just gonna follow docs orders I just really don't want to screw this up! Lol Anyway get some rest and relax. Ttys!
Everything looks amazing!!
you look great! would love to see some updated pictures of your results. i'm interested in getting a tummy tuck and Dr. Jamie Perez is one of the doctors i'm looking into. i'd like to see some real life results from his work before i make that commitment.

Day 9

I had my follow up appt and very excited that all three my drains are out! It stung a little but nothing major and there is quite a good length of tubing left inside... Like a snake getting pulled out hah. So happy not to be lugging them around anymore.

I asked about my scaring and he assured me that all the pleating will even out just fine and that in about two weeks I am going to start using tape on the scar. He also removed some of the stitching around my belly button that did no seem to dissolve. He had a lot of patients there today so, I had to wait an hour before being seen. Will post some updates pictures later.

Hi you look fantastic! I'm 11 days post op of TT/HR/Lipo..no boobs got big ones from my mama. Lol I had two drains, one came out last week, hoping and praying my other will come out Monday. Weird sensation isn't it, luckily I was still really numb on my first not so sure how my second will feel coming out. Like you, I'm very itchy also, I guess that's the feeling coming back slowly and the pressure of the garment leaving marks. All worth it though isn't it?!!
Hey thanks! Your TT looks so nice, low and the incision is so straight! That's the only thing I'm not liking about mine.. It is crooked :/.
I know getting the drains removed is uncomfortable. I really hope they take your the last drains out! Still itching here... I just stopped wearing the garments haha I hate them! I'm hoping it is going to be worth the pain ... until I can stand straight and have healed more I think I can get used to this new look of me!
Yay for no more drains!! And I had the same pleating you have and mine completely flattened out. I was worried at first too. Your results are amazing! Trust me! I've seen a lot of reviews on this sight, you're results are awesome!

Day 8

Can you say itchy! The TT incision and drain sights are healing up and itchy. I haven't scratched then and won't lol! My stomach still is tight and sore to pressure, but not as bad as a few days ago. My boobs look great! I'm a modest person so they are noticeably bigger, but I'm going to have to embrace it :). Here are some pictures.

What size implants did you get?
450cc
Thanks, I'm pretty decided on 450-500cc. Yours look great so far :-)
Looking good! I'm loving those boobs!
Itchy is no Bueno... Do you have glue/ tape over your incision? And has your Dr said when you'll be able to get rid of your drains? That will be so nice to not lug those things around :)
