I think it looks amazing for one week out Mike. In fact your chest is already flatter then some after pics I've seen on websites that advertise the procedure. Very jealous. I hope you learn to love the results as well.

I know you mention being disappointed, but I think it looks like great work! Your surgeon must be very skilled. I suspect that it will just look better over time. Congrats!

Thanks, I guess we are always more critical on our selves. I'm sure my opinion will change as things settle out.

Mikey, you look great! The swelling will go down and your upper half will match the beautiful contours of your LBL. Be patient. :). Your surgeon did a beautiful job.

Your pics look fantastic!

How are you feeling? How long did it take to recover from your previous procedure?

I feel really good. No pain just a bit or irritation as I really want to scratch along the incision line. But I know that would be very bad.

Regarding the LBL. I went back to work in 2 and 1/2 weeks. My last drain was pulled the day before I went back to work. In hindsight I should have waited a full three weeks to go back to work. I was very tired my first couple of days back.

I'm pretty detailed in my blogs if you want to check them out. I think I first start talking about plastics in my 9/13 blog. I really liked going the route of the teaching hospital. Got a great result at a fraction of the price.

WOW Mike! You look great! I don't have any personal experience with PS (yet!) but I agree with Lee, it's just going to get better and better! Congrats on your bravery and I'm glad to hear you are recovering nicely! Take care!
