Started the PS process
I'm so excited and really hoping for spectacular results. I don't expect to be a Victoria's Secret model or anything but I do expect my results to be among the better "after" shots you see on Dr's websites LOL.
My plan is to do a revision on my breast reconstruction (making the girls smaller, higher, and closer together and getting rid of the dog ears on the sides), abdominoplasty (small hernia repair), vertical thigh lift, and eventually brachioplasty. I can't do all four procedures at once but can do the first three. My arms are bad but not so bad that I don't wear tank tops when it's hot.
My biggest priorities are the breasts/dog ears, tummy, and thighs so want to get those done ASAP. I've maintained my weight since mid-December at 160-165 and am wearing an 8-10. Hoping to get reliably into 6's when all's said and done. I'm really loving this!
I'll share pics when I have them!

I weighed slightly less than you when I had my procedures done (anchor cut TT, breast lift, scar revision) at 159; I was wearing 10/12. I now weigh 150 and wear mostly 8s. But even now, with some swelling still hanging around at 7 weeks post op, I can really see I have an hour glass figure. Maybe when the swelling is all gone I'll fit into a 6; but I'm not counting on it and really don't care one way or the other. I wanted to look better in clothes and out, and I do already!! Right now I am loving my breasts best of all....it's the first time in my LIFE they have been perky! I can even go without a BRA, imagine that!!
Good luck on your PS journey and keep us posted.

Hi Jill, I'm starting too - I've got some appointments set up to meet with plastic surgeons. I have a question to ask so I've sent you a PM.
It sounds like you're planing on similar surgeries to what I believe I need - so I'm looking forward to seeing your pics. Do you have a date yet?
LOL - I walk with DH regularly in the mall and every day, as we pass the Victoria Secret store and I always point out the models pictures to DH and make a stupid joke that I'm not greedy or have high expectations - but I expect the plastic surgeon to make me look just like them. I hope that we both end up looking like some of the really good results I've seen here.
