Looking good. I bet you lost *FEW a lbs with the plastics too!! ;-)
It looks more painful than having a DS judging by the incisions - I had my DS lap and am scared of getting a TT... I'd like to have it done laparascopically LOL!!
*ETA missing word - duh!!

I my DS
Lol too funny. No it was not painful. I didn't even take oral pain medication after I left the clinic.
Its just skin being removed. I had no muscle tightening (not needed). I have heard that muscle tightening hurts.
My DS was lap as well :-) ... Funny thing is my DS lap scars are now gone. They were removed with the anchor cut.
My my recovery posts have up to date scar pics. Since I am almost 1 year post plastics.

There was very little pain, uncomfortable tightness and not being able to stand up straight, but very little pain. I walked the next day after PS and took showers daily. Didn't manage a shower for 4 days after my DS, it was much more painful. The facelift was worse than all the body work. My ears pinned and hitting the stitches - knowing what I know now, I'd have used soft ear plugs to keep the ears a little off the stitches. I had muscle work, but it wasn't bad. I'm a pain weanie!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to write in such detail. This is exactly what I was looking for! I get nervous and panicky when traveling to new places and not knowin my surroundings. This will make it so much nicer to know the steps and to remind me of extension cord. Wheelchair. Munchies. Etc. Would love to see more recent pics if you don't mind? I'm hoping for surgery by Sauceda in June.

I have my recent pics in the Facebook group. However, if you aren't scheduled for surgery you won't be able to see them. I will try to upload new pictures later this week. I am 2 years out now :)
