I first had my mommy make over, (Breast lift, implants, and mini tummy tuck) in 2016. Loved the results. My breasts look in fine shape however, with perimenopause kicking my butt, and new diagnosis of Hypothyroidism, Adrenal Failure and steady weight gain and inflammation, I think its best I take them out.

I am on the search for someone who knows that BII can be real and will guide me to the right procedure. Not sure if I will need another lift, but I think I will have more peace of mind with them out.

All Is well. Love almost everything. Still a bit concerned that my stomach is bloated but DR says that it can take up to 18 mo for the swelling to go down. It's not horrible but definitely not as flat as I had wanted. But scars almost fully gone and I feel great fitting into clothes.

So glad to read your progress. It reminds me that this is a long process and I need to be patient! I'm PO day 4 and feel like the stuffed 10lbs of fat in a 1lb bag! The swelling is really sore. Day by day. Happy healing!

@newadventuresawait totally! I remember the first two weeks I was on this site tracking others progress because I wanted to know what was next. It was so hard for me to sit still and to feel bloated and bigger than I went in ... but I have to say after month three the recovery and time Goes by so much faster. Congrats on your 'new you!'

Hi all. It's been a fast recovery. I'll say the first few days and weeks felt slow but now time seems to be going by fast. I started Dancing (ballroom) again in August so about 7 weeks post. Only now in October I have added more of specific abdominal work. I have not done Pilates or yoga yet. And I do notice I'm still a bit bloated below my belly button after a long day. But the scars are healing nicely and I can't wait until 6 months Po or even a year to see how flat I am. I had a mini tummy tuck and my old belly button and stretch marks still bother me but apparently I didn't have enough skin to do a full TT. So I think when the swelling is completely gone I will feel 100 awesome. Photos tomorrow.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't see stretch marks in your pictures. I had weight loss surgery in August and have stretch marks on my breasts near my underarms, and from under my breasts down to my thighs, on my back, hips, and inner arms. I literally have stretch marks over stretch marks. Now those are noticeable but I.d.g.a.f. after I lose my weight I will have my mommy makeover and probably need an extended tummy tuck but I still plan on wearing a bikini, stripes and all. You look amazing, and don't really have anything noticeable so try not to overtook these things. Women get stretch marks even during puberty, your minor ones are nothing. :)

@emclarty - thank you so much. I appreciate that. You're absolutely right. It's very easy to become so focused on something so small and make it bigger. Congrats to you on your journey to a better you!
