The difference is amazing. Thanks for being so brave to show us your photos. So many of us want/need to go through the same procedures, and it is really good to see the before and after.

I have to agree with everyone here, you look great! And thank you for sharing, I know how hard it is to put yourself out there when people have reacted negatively in the past. It does take a lot of courage to make yourself so vulnerable. Thank you.

Hi there,

my PS did not want to touch the port so it is in its original location. I have not started using anything for the scars yet but I have heard Vitamin E works well. I still have a few scabbed areas that need to heal up before I can start softening the scar. I have been told that the scar will lighten over time as well.

Again, thank you all for your support. I have come a long way physically but need my mind to catch up with where my body is. I still see myself as "the big girl" that I once was. Work in progress I guess....

:^) Katie

You look really good, I am now 3 months out from a body lift, for me the swelling took quite some time and you can really tell when the skin gets to the point that you can feel the muscles and bones below.

it takes quite a lot of courage to do this but it is worth it.

THank you, Brandi!

I did have 2 drains, spoiltmom. They came out 5 days post op and the other 12 days post op. I saw my PS for my 1 month checkup and she is very pleased with the results. I see see imperfections but, well pointed out, no one is perfect but I am a LOT better than I ever was. My husband has even noticed a new found confidence and LOVES it! It was the best thing I ever did for myself!
