45 Year Old Mother of 7 ( Yes 7 Kids) 5'3" 115lbs

It’s been a long time since I have been on realself, but one of my goals through this process was to document my progress and to share my experience with others! This has been a great journey for me. I have spent the past 25 years of my life having, nursing and raising 7 children and I have a good 8 years still before I’m done raising my last. It is a life I love and I wouldn’t change any of it, but 7 children and years of nursing babies left my body with some things that were beyond my control to fix. And even though I would do it all again, inside still remained a woman that wanted to feel sexy and confident outside of being a mom. I wanted to feel confident about my body and to feel sexy and comfortable being naked with my husband and even more importantly with myself. I wanted to look in that mirror and see the woman I felt was in there hidden beneath the saggy skin and pitiful almost nonexistent boobs that remained ha! Ha! I had a breast augmentation two years ago 485 cc ultra high profile which my husband and I love :) and my tummy tuck was a year ago. Removing the extra skin has left me with the self confidence to strut my naked self around without reaching for the nearest towel. I’m so grateful that I did this for myself. So many people think of plastic surgery in a negative light. That it’s because people want others to look at them and for attention. For me it was a personal journey to regain my vision of how I saw myself. It was for no one other than for me! I love my new post baby body and I will be forever grateful for my wonderful surgeon who gave me back what I had lost.

So it’s been one month since my scar revision and all is well. The scar is beginning to fade and I’ve been messaging everyday to keep the scar tissue broke up. I still have some swelling off and on and the center line of my abdominal wall still hurts when I engage it in workouts, but I still do the exercises. I’m not sure if that will always be that way now or if it will go away over time but it’s not like I can’t live with it. Its like trying to work out a few days after you did an extensive abdominal workout and your muscles are still sore. Weird!!! Any way. All is well and I’m so happy I did this!

So 1 week ago today I went and had my revision on my scar and it was slick. I was there maybe a total in an hour and I’m already pleased with how much better it looks. I just took the steri strip off and will now start the scar treatment by am already pleased with how quickly it has started to heal and I’m sure it will blend right in with the other scar which is practically invisible. If you look at the photos my new scar is centered right in the morning sale of my tummy tuck scar and you can see that the old one is hardly noticeable. I hope the scar treatment will be as successful with this scar as it was the last. I’ll keep it updated on the progress.
