Overall I'm happy with my breast, I'm not happy one is the larger than the other one and it is noticeable in a bra. I specifically asked the doctor and make sure they were the same size.
My tummy is still not flat and I feel like he did not take enough skin or do enough Lipo. The scar underneath my bellybutton is fading and I will eventually have to get a tattoo over it. I still don't think it was necessary to leave that scar.

Oh no sorry to hear you are unhappy with your results :( you are still early in your recovery and swelling is unpredictable and can make things look weird. Hopefully in a couple more weeks you'll start to see an improvement. I think everything looks really good so far! You look great in all of your pics :)

2week po

I'm two weeks out and I feel great. PS told me that the skin that he removed my big pooch of tummy skin and that he could not get my belly button scar down any lower, but he tried. I understand and I think it will fade nicely. I'm feeling active and once my drain is removed I want to go back to work.

Not sure how I feel about my TT

kristycare
Surgeon said my old bellybutton was scare was going to be right above horizontal scare ( like a T). He told me this as he marked me before the procedure. I have a incision right below my new bellybutton that is pretty long. So I feel he didn't take enough skin and get it as tight as he should of. This was a concern I had during my consultation and he reassured me he was going to take enough skin. I realize I'm still swollen but I look like I'm five months pregnant, I'm 11 days po. I'm going to see him tomorrow and discuss my concerns.

PS said he took my pooch but couldn't pull my skin down anymore. He said he tried to avoid that scar but couldn't.
