FULL Tummy tuck and breast lift, done one month ago. Progress and pics.

Hey all!

So, I had a TT and breast lift about 4 weeks ago. I feel GREAT! About two weeks post op, I was able to start getting out and slowly exercising a bit. Walking, etc. Last week (3 weeks post op) I started walking about 3-4 miles a day. In the last couple of days, not quite four weeks out, I'm able to go for my runs again. I've taken it slow and have only started running about 2 miles, planning on working up to my regular runs of about 4 miles over the course of the next few weeks.

Recovery was not as bad as I had thought, but definitely not easy. The first three days were the worst, but at day 5, I was able to walk to the bus stop with my boys in the morning and able to move around on my own. I was still sleeping in our recliner until about a full week out, then in bed, with the help of my husband.

All in all, definitely worth it. As you can see, I had A LOT of stretch marks and still do, albeit, definitely better, but I definitely didn't have unreal expectations that they would all just disappear. :) He removed about 10 inches of skin, top to bottom. CRAZY!

I have to be taped up for about another 2 weeks.

My breasts are amazing and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them, lol. He raised my nipples about 5-6 cm. They are the same size now and "normal". I have lost zero sensitivity in them, in fact, I'd say they were a bit MORE sensitive than before.

Anyways, if anybody has any questions, feel free, I'm an open book. PM if you want.

I'm very impressed by your transformation! If you don't mind my asking, how many incisions are on each breast for the lift? My husband was freaked out by my relatively teeny lapband incisions, so I thought I might never be able to go thru with plastic surgery. But the change is so great, I think it might be worth it.

My incisions go around my nipples, then down from the bottom of my nipple to the crease of my breast. Someone told me the other day it was called a lollipop incision, not sure though, although that seems very fitting.

Awesome transformation! You look amazing. I can't wait to hit goal and have my arms done and boobs lifted! Ive already gone from a HH to DD with 80 more pounds to lose so Im sure I'll be a mess!lol But your pics are inspiring thanks for posting! Any thoughts on getting a TT for someone who hasn't yet had children? I always read mixed reviews. Im 27 and not sure yet if I will have kids on my own but theres always a possibility!

Thank you... Having a TT before having kids would be a very tough decision for me. At first thought, I would say I would definitely wait. This isn't an easy surgery and having kids sure stretches you out. However, at the same time, I know the feeling of just wanting that excess skin off. So, while my completely logical side says to wait and make it worth it, don't do it too soon and end up regretting it. My impulsive side would beg me to reconsider.
