7 month update
I am now 7 months postop. My results/fat graft seem to be lasting and I look better now then I did a few months ago. I no longer have a tight Restricted feeling like I did before my surgery; I believe he broke up a lot of the scar tissue. I can stretch fully without feeling restricted. I do not want to mislead you and say that I am 100% happy and ready to be in a bikini. I do however look better and feel my surgeon did a good job considering the circumstances.
I do feel my photos may be a bit misleading since I do you use the iPhone X to take pictures and it adds a natural smoothing effect to the photo (it’s built into the phone) I also want to point out that my stomach looks different in different lighting, it looks much more irregular in the sunlight or looking at me from the side. I still plan on doing a Tummy tuck and I feel my results after a tummy tuck will look even better since I did a fat grafting to the botched areas first.

5 MONTH UPDATE
So I’m not perfect, but do I regret my surgery? No. Will I need more surgeries, yes. I would definitely get another fat grafting round on my arms and I plan on doing a Tummy tuck in the future. (Not with Svehlak)
I feel back to my old self but better! I have no tightness from stretching like I did before my surgery with Dr. Svehlak and I believe that’s because he broke up the scar tissue. I do notice if I wear something tight i can see the indentation of it on my stomach. The swelling is there but not noticeable until I do wear something that presses against my skin.
I came into this with realistic expectations since Dr. Svehlak didn’t sell me a dream & he was honest about me looking better not perfect. Ask me your questions below or PM me.

Week 3
Not perfect but way better than before! I am still slightly sore and swollen. I can already tell already at this point I would like a possible 2nd revision to smooth everything out some more...possibly a year from now. My doctor was very realistic about my outcome and said he could make it better but not perfect. This is my new reality.
