4 month post op
WORTH IT
Still trying to lose the 5-7lbs I gained during the 6 week recovery time. It has been a STRUGGLE but I’m still happy with my results. My scar has darkened quite a bit so I’m a little hesitant wearing a bikini showing my bb scar but hopefully it will lightened up soon.

6 weeks
I had my post op late because the Dr was on vacation and then I went on vacation. So far so good but we are following a small bump above my bb. Hoping it’s nothing. Also, Dr said my flanks are uneven because my ribs on one side pushes out more caused by my scoliosis. I’m still happy. Next appt will be a 3 months appt in October. In the meantime I need to lose the 8-10lbs I gained from sitting around during the 6 week recovery :(

Swelling is unreal
Swelling!!! I hate it and can’t wait until it slows down but as of 5 weeks I’m still swelling a lot. It’s very uncomfortable :( pics are taken morning and evening.

You Look Amazing, I'm 4 months Post Op and swelling is still there.....I wake up flat and then swelling by the end of the day......can't wait for the swelling to decrease.
Thank you!! I heard it will take 6-12 months for the lymphatic system to fully repair itself so that's how long the swelling can last. It's literally the worse part of this procedure :/
