Skimpy top :-)

Just wanted to say that today I went out in a skimpy top :-). I haven't worn one since I was 16. I'm always trying to cover my belly, but not any more. I felt very awkward as I still keep thinking my belly is ugly. I still go to cover my belly when I get naked infront of my husband. I think it's just a reflex now. But although I thought everyone was looking at me and I kept thinking " what if someone realises I've had a TT", I went out in that skimpy top. I'm probably not going to flash my belly every day, but to just be able to now is amazing and I'm so happy.

I agree! you got the best scar I have ever seen!! At only 6 weeks, it's already lost its redness! I am 16 weeks and still, mine can sometimes be red :( Still, I'm hoping it can be thin like yours. So far, so good :)

I think the reason it's not really red is that I massage it quite hard and use a vitamin E oil. I do that 3x a day for about 5min each time. My PS told me that it needs to be quite a hard massage or it doesnt work. Maybe some of its genetics but since doing the massage, it has massively improved. Hope this helps x

Thank you! I really couldn't be more happy with it. It hides under a thong and I have had no problems with it. I'm so glad I found my PS he's done a brilliant job. I had a look at yours, I know you had a few problems at the beginning, but wow! Your scar looks amazing now. I bet your really happy :-)

I am, thankfully it finally healed. I'm loving the low scar and honestly, other than the middle bit it's VERY straight and thin. Love it.

Had my 6wk check up with Dr Guy yesterday. He checked my right breast. The reason I can still feel it move sometimes is.... When it was healing fluid built up around the implant.so the scar tissue never had chance to fix to the implant. Chances are I'm always going to feel it. I was more concerned that it was signs of bottoming out, Dr Guy reassured me that it wasn't. In fact I can now wear normal bras "yay". And the implant moving at times is fine with me now that I know it's nothing to worry about. Also, no compression garments, I couldn't be more happy. I went down town yesterday with a bra and no compression nickers on. Although it felt a bit weird, it also felt great. My sister and I did loads of clothes chopping. I even brought a few skimpy tops and some sexy undies. I've also been told I can work out now :-). I'm using my gym equipment at home for the first week to take it easy then after a week off to the gym. Also I've been told I can bath and go swimming, I've missed taking the kids swimming as we usually go every week. I'm just so happy with my results, I never dreamed I could feel this good about myself.
I came into this with realistic expectations hoping for my body to look better but not expecting it to look perfect. I was wrong as my belly and boobs are perfect, I can't stress how good I feel about myself. It all down to my amazing PS who cared enough to give me more than what I wanted.
