BB revision

$11,500
last Thursday I had a belly button revision. Under local anaesthetic, it was very quick - in and out thing. I am very eased with the result. As always, not looking for perfection, just want took as natural as possible.

He performed my breast augmentation 6 years ago and it looks great still. I hope to get the same great tummy to go along with my nice breasts

Looking good. I have been thinking of you and wondering how you have been doing. Thanks for the update, hope you are enjoying this wonderful sunshine today
Thank you :) OMG! It was such a beautiful day today - I am so tired of winter
Keep us updated. I hope it heals up perfectly!
Thank you. I will post s new pic as soon as swelling and tape allergy will go away
How are you healing? I'm having some BB issues myself.
So glad you got your revision done. Hope it will be uphill for you from now on. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Take care and happy healing.
Thank you Kerni, I hope everything will go well this time around. I wish you to get your revision soon too
I have my appointment on May 4. Hoping he doesn't cancel again. I swear this dr never works. I hope my revisions are as quick as yours. Did you need any time off work?
Hi yuliyacat, hope you are doing well.
May I ask how long was your tummy tuck surgery? Thanks

3 months update

just went for follow up with my PS. There are no news other then I booked a revision of my BB. Doctor said that because he made my stomach so tight and since I have no fat on my stomach, it is unlikely to be fixed, but he will try. It is a local procedure and will be done on Apr. 24, 2016. As for an uneven obliques - he told me to massage the area and if the issue does not get resolved in 3 months - he will try to fix it. I don't want to have any feelings about it, because all I can think about right now: it is all useless, I will have to live with this flat ugly unnatural looking BB. I will never going to wear a bikini in my life. I just wasted $13000. Botched

I wish you the best, it takes more time than we expect for results. I have been thinking of you and wondering how you have been healing. I only send you happy healthy healing thoughts your way. I wish you the best in this continuous journey
Thank you kelbel63. You are very kind :)
Oh Hun that totally sucks! I hope that he is completely wrong and he does fix it. After all isn't that what he does for a living. You do have an amazingly flat beautiful tummy. Maybe be proud of that and ignore the bb, remember we wanted better not perfection. We are our worst critics and I'm sure if you wore a bikini everyone would be jealous of your flat stomach and rockin body and not looking at your bb at all. This is a longer journey than we thought, just need to be patient a bit longer. Hang in there. Take care and all the best to you.
Thank you Kerni, it is hard to stay optimistic but I try. Life goes on.

9 weeks PO

Well, all I can say is: all of my strength came back now. I don't have pain any where, and yesterday I even decided to start doing P90X with my husband. Then I looked at how he is huffing and puffing there and change my mind. ;) instead, I went upstears and did level 1 Jillian Michaels 30 days shred. Funny thing: I did it first time about 4 years ago for 3 months and never since. I remember my very first time (4 years ago) I could not even finish it - it was so hard and way too intense for my fitness level. So what do you think? Yesterday I finished it all!!! I was huffing and puffing and today everything hurts, but I am so proud of myself :)
As for my BB, it looks flat as ever so I will definitely need a revision. The lower part of my stomach is still swollen and hard as a rock. It does not look any different then 3 weeks ago so no pics today

So glad to hear you are doing so well. Good for you on starting and finishing your exercise, glad your husband doesn't have to exercise alone anymore lol. We have come along way gf and more improvements to come. This journey is way more than expected but we will get there. Take care and keep in touch my TT sister.
Thank you Kerni, this is definitely s journey, I did not expect. ;) I was hoping for a quick fix, but i am nowhere near the end. A bit disappointing, but I guess, I just have to suck it up and keep going. :)
Awesome! My fitness level was pretty close to pre op too, I'm back to lifting my pre-SX weight in Bodypump. My bob is bright red around, thankfully the scar hasn't gotten puffy but I could not show it in public at this point. Your belly sounds like mine, swollen and tight! I hope that goes away....trying to be patient but I'm sure once I hit the 12 week mark, I'll start stressing about it. Glad to hear you are doing well!!
Thank you jlgab345, it is great to feel strong again, isn't it? I can't even think about showing my stomach to anyone anytime soon. It looks so unreal at this point. :(
