Hi all, just wanted to do a quick update. I've got a more thorough review going on the tummy tuck thread than I do here since I originally created this one just to review my BL. Since I also had a TT at the same time this review got transferred here. I just can't bring myself to run two solid reviews at a time and not feeling like posting both sets of photos in both places so I'll just keep with the lift pics. If you want to check out the TT side of my experience its here: http://www.realself.com/review/tyler-tx-tummy-tuck-the-road-the-flat-side-tt-tylertx
So here's the quick run down! Yesterday was 3 weeks PO everything is going fine thankfully no problems! My PS recommended I start messaging my scars with vitamin E oil at 2 weeks; I've been using Bio Oil and Golden Salve and already see a difference in some places laying flatter and feeling smoother. The fluid build up under my right arm has calmed down but there continues to be more of a firm bulge there than on the left side. I'm starting to resign myself to the prospect of excepting a certain level of side boob cause its still certainly better than the saggy old lady skin! The right breast is also a bit bigger and also firmer than the left but I was smaller on the left side to start with (still not complaining though). Anywho I've posted the progress of my scars and again hopefully this and possible also my TT review will help any of you ladies out there considering these procedures. Happy healing all!

I had my BL and TT done at the same time so in realation to the TT the breast lift has been a breeze so far. I wish I had my before pic but somehow I deleted :/ Trust though my breasts were totally saggy and deflated from my weight loss. Hopefully this will help some poor soul out there searching for examples of BLs without implants for small breasts because Lord knows I had hell trying to find anything.

I've decided to go ahead with the breast lift...

I've decided to go ahead with the breast lift without implants. For a brief moment I was excited with the idea of bigger boobs but the reality is I'm just fine with my itty bittys....I just want them up in the place they belong. I'm well aware that there are scars involved in every procedure and I'm at peace with that. (Still would prefer perfectly healed super thin super light ones though.) Specifically my incisions will be the anchor style with an extension of the horizontal one along my bra roll to take up the excess lax skin there. There aren't many of us out there that have small breasts that opt to not have implants so its been difficult to gauge what my results might be but I'm hopeful! So on the morning of Dec 27th the girls will for the first time in their existence be perky.
