I finally have new pics posted.  The arms are great..they are 9.5 inches in diameter..I didn't measure before but they were big (note to pre-ops..don't forget to take the pics!).  Near the elbows there is still some bumpiness, but I know it will flatten out with time.  I love me new boobs, and I think the scars look great.  The scar in the middle there is a revision that my PS did from some old scars (not his work) that had keloided.  The last pic is of me in clothes, down from a size 32 (at my heaviest all I wore was 3x maternity pants, but I know my tops were that size) .to a small/medium top (depends on how it fits around the "girls") and a size 4/6 (!!!!!), depending on the brand, bottoms!  Can't wait for my MTL in December.  For all of those wondering, yes, it is worth it and heck yes I would do it again in a heartbeat!

You look incredible!!!!!! Beautiful!!

From your signature it looks like you've had your surgeries pretty close together, how do you feel having procedures done with only a couple months in between?  I'm tempted to do my Back Lift 2 months after my TT but worry if it's too aggressive......

Would love to know how you are feeling.

Thanks!

First, thanks so much!! I am glad that I had them so close.  I am lucky that I had the time off since I work for a school district.  After the LBL, by day 5 or so I was off meds, and by 3 weeks I felt great (still had 2 drains but...whatever).  There was a moment right before the second surgery where I was dreading the recovery period, but I knew that it was what I wanted.  For me, I spaced them a good amount because I was recovered enough from the LBL to be mobile after the second surgery.  I have been very lucky that I have had minimal pain and a speedy recovery.  If you feel up to it and have the time, it could work for you to just get it done.  If I had more time over the summer I probably would have had the MTL done too.  Good luck!

Sure..I was a 36B (sad, saggy things) and right now (because it may change again) I am wearing a 32G.  When I bought my first post-op bra it was a 38DD, then I went to a 36DDD, and now a 32G (it may change again)...as the swelling continues to go down.

You look awesome April, love your arms. I need a revision on my arms and TT, my surgeon didn't do a good job on mine and he didn't  do anything to my mons even though I told him over and over that I wanted it done.  It looks like you had a great surgeon!!
