Hey, Thanks you guys. Umm as for size I was a C before and a C after. Before I actually had to lift and squash and tuck my boob into the cup. It was so grose. Now they just go in there comfortably...My areolas were huge, like saucers. he said he would give me a more "youthful" areola. Now they are the size of 20 cents. It doesnt hurt and hasnt from the beginning. Like I said my boobies feel like I am getting my milk in...a discomfort or pressure type thing..no pain. The areolas still have the stitches will come out Saturday, they will then relax and work back into a nice rounded shape.

Areola cookie cutter...I like it!!!

Heather - I am being straight up with you guys so you know what to expect. Honestly the insicions have never hurt. They are numb. Inside hurt from the muscle repair and where I was lipoed hurt. Lipo is the killer, I felt beaten and bruised which I was. I know it all looks yucky, I was the same when I researched, it scared the pants of me, but its nowhere near as bad as it looks. Just imagine and picture the after and it will get you through it. Thats what I did. Ill take some more pics this weekend after the stitches come out and let you see. I am not looking foward to the rest of the BB stitches coming out as they have skin over them ughh. Oh yea that reminds me, Jess...yes the BB stays an outtie yayyyyy!!!! Remember if you want an outtie let your PS know. They can usually do it both ways, makes no difference to them.

Hugs everyone

Kellie - you are so brave!

Thanks for Sharing this important info with us. You have done a great job warning anybody who doesn't want to look.

I guess I will have to start saving now - for the belly & pinny thing. The concept of not having to wear a girdle every day - well, I can't even imagine.

Hugs! Happy Healing!

The concept of not having to wear a girdle every day - well, I can't even imagine.

This is funny - whether I was fatter or flabbier - I never ever wore a girdle. I never even owned one.

After my TT more than 13 weeks ago, now as I graduate from the surgical binder my plastic surgeon's office recommends panty girdles to keep the post-op swelling down.

So when I'm out and about, I wear a control smoother (kind of panty girdle like) or body shaper. Now I wear my now-falling-apart (after so many washings) abdominal surgical binder in the evenings when I'm at home, or especially when I sleep.

Happy Band Journeys to all...

I am 6 weeks post op from my TT and breast lift and just wanted to share the updated pics so you guys know what to expect if you go through it. It really is true that it takes months fro the final results. I had an appointment with my PS on Friday and he said I still had a lot of swelling and to expect more results over the next couple of months. He said I can stop wearing my garment as of this week too, but I am still wearing it because with the swelling it feels better.

Anyway these photos contain NUDITY and all that stuff I have mentioned before, and like Jess said, dont look if you dont want to see thunder thighs, stretch marks and yucky bits.

6 weeks PO

Without having to read the entire thread, (just call me lazy nana), do you/did you have to wear that special girdle for 6 weeks? When I had a mini TT years ago with some Lipo, I had to wear this awful girdle with the crotch cut out, talk about sexy, for 6 loooooong weeks. I'm allergic to lycra, so I was miserable.

Oh yes lazynana :(. I can ditch the garment this week. I am going to wean myself off it though, still wear it at night for a few weeks. I totally love the crotchless look though, Paul tells me I have pigs balls from the back and you can see it through my pants etc.

omg, Kel! I thought you looked great immediately post-op (well, except for the expression, lol). But now, wow!! And he says there's STILL swelling! I hope you don't de-swell away! :(

Seriously, that's awesome! Your scars look amazing! Can't believe how much they've faded! For that matter, can't believe it's been 6 weeks!

Congrats & (( hugs!! ))

Wow Kellie! I had to go back and look at your before picture again. I am so excited for you and your new body!

Thanks for the botox info on brow lift. I have been thinking about a brow lift for several years, but never got up the guts to do it. I would have never even considered botox if you hadn't posted your experience. Thank you Thank you Thank you. You are a true pioneer for us future PS candidates!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
