7 months post and I can't believe how great I look
Had the dog ear revision in October and while there is still some swelling the incisions look great and I feel super confident they will only look better with time. Because even after swelling, looking lumpy and weird sometimes, and still not exercising as much as I would like I LOVE my waist and tummy. This is absolutely the result I was hoping for and I know it will get even better as I ramp up my workouts.
The scars in my arms from the breast tissue excision are so faint now. I bet by summer I won't really even see them. The recovery from that was annoying and itchy, but I love wearing tank tops now, so summer can't come soon enough!

Dog Ears Revision
Had my dog ears revision on 10/20. I opted to take a light sedative to help with nerves but I'm not even sure I needed it. It was so quick and easy. Most of the time Dr. Swail, the attending nurse, and I chatted about recent travel and Halloween events. The initial local anesthesia was only slightly pinchy, and while there was a spot I could always feel a little bit it wasn't bad enough to want to pause or get more injected. Because I was a bit groggy I'm not entirely sure how long it took, but it really felt like less than an hour.
As you can see in the pictures even though they are relatively small incisions you are still pretty well padded to protect them from bumps and friction. I've decided to sleep another week in the recliner so that I'm not tempted to sleep on my side and cause any trauma, and have kept ice packs on them as much as possible.
I'm glad to be in this last phase - another round of tape, no submersion, etc. and then I can focus on what's next. Before this period of rest I did some heavy exercise and I am SO impressed with how well my abs work. My hips are more balanced, my knee pain is virtually gone. This is really life changing in so many ways. Excited for the next phase of health and wellness with this newfound strength!

10 week pictures and updates
So I'm actually at 13 weeks now, but these are the last decent pictures I took (about 2 weeks ago, so these are around 11 weeks). I can now move however I like, sleep most nights without compression, and have started exercising more regularly. I still have some bloating, but overall I LOVE the way I look, especially in clothes.
I knew I would still have stretch marks, so they don't bother me. I like the way my scar is healing and my belly button is looking a little more buttony. The dog ears are really the worst thing right now, appearance wise, and sometimes I wear a compression garment just so they don't poke out. My revision is scheduled for mid-October after some travel.
I feel like this period is when it's crucial to focus on health and exercise so I don't put on weight and "ruin" what I so intentionally went through. I'm not looking to give myself an unhealthy obsession with food or exercise, so it's a balance, but I want to look this good or better for a long time!
The area around the ablation is still numb, and it's still annoying that it will itch, but I can't feel myself scratch at all so it does no good and I just have to cope. It also still feels very hard, while my upper abs are soft. I plan to talk to Dr Swail about making sure they stay balanced and my upper abs don't start sticking out as I occasionally have seen happen to others.
I haven't done much shopping yet and am waiting until after the revision, but my clothes fit even more differently than I expected. Things I thought would just look good look baggy, and even my old smaller pants are a bit loose. I look forward to the future shopping spree, but thought I would have more things in my closet that I could wear. First World Problem for sure!
