LIsa, you look fantastic! What do you mean about splitting stitches?

Thanks Amanda...
My body is rejecting some of the stitches... so what happens is I get an open sore and then a stitch comes out! It scared me when it first happened, but after talking to my surgeon I guess it's fairly common. Odd huh!

This is the post I have been waiting for! You look simply amazing. I finally scheduled my extended TT and breast lift with Dr. Livingston. August 26th! Your results are inspiring.

I know you had some challenges after - can you share some of those? I am planning to take 3 weeks off. In your experience, will that be enough? I'm an account manager and work generally in my office (desk/computer work, walking to meetings). I'm not planning any travel for 4 weeks after surgery. Would you have been able to keep this schedule?

Hi!
Congrats to you!!! Dr L did a great job for me...

I had an allergic reaction after surgery and was taken off all pain meds... then I got the flu!
I had a few areas of the incision that opened up, and my body has been spitting stitches. All that aside, it's completely worth it to be rid of the extra skin and to have a nice set of boobs!
Had I not gotten the flu I think I would have been back to work at 2 weeks post op. I think it really depends on how you heal and deal with pain. The BA was no big deal, but the TT keeps you hunched over and it feels super tight for a while... I believe Dr L told me it'll be a year before we truly see the end result. Your body will change a lot... at first the boobs were so high on my chest and now they've "dropped" into place and have a nice "sag" to them. I didn't go with anything super large for the BA, I just wanted to feel womanly again.

I wish you all the best, let me know if you need anything!
