Back from arm revision, lipo and I now have a bellybutton!
I had an arm revision, lipo on arms, tummy and knees and a belly button made on April 1st. I can't believe how much better I feel after this round of surgery compared to my huge first round in September!!
Luckily, my PS did NOT have to cut under the armpit again and it's making all the difference to me in mobility and less pain! The arms are definitely smaller and tighter, even with swelling! The tummy is amazing..it looks like he "airbrushed" it and all the little lumps left from the LBL are gone!! My new bellybutton is rather deep, but I know it will get smaller as it heals. It's just so good to have one again! I can't tell much difference in my knees yet due to swelling.
I will post photos soon. Thanks everyone, for your encouragement!

Yeah Lynda - so glad you are home and doing so well! I too think a second round of plastics is easier than the first. Glad you got your belly button back! I can't imagine not having one, though I know there is no real use for them!
