I had an anchor cut tummy tuck and breast lift two months ago.  Everything is going pretty much as planned.  I still have a lot of swelling - especially at the top of my stomach.  At least I sure hope it's swelling - it puffs out further than my lower abdomen!  I had my gallbladder out at the same time so the cutting went deeper up top! 

I've just started to feel sore again after a few weeks of not.  I found a protruding stitch in my belly button and pulled it out easily.  I assume the stitches are disolving more and things are all still settling.  I have a few tiny places that leak but not even enough for a bandaid.  I'm keeping antibiotic ointment on those and still lubricating / massaging all the scars daily.  I also still wear the binder or some sort of support garment most of the time - it just feels better. 

I'm still very happy with the results and I'd do it again tomorrow!  I can't wait to do my thighs, butt, arms, and neck!!!

I'll get some more pictures posted soon!

WOW! I saw your Day 22 pictures,  YOU look amazing! You seemed to have healed so WONDERFULLY!

With it being 2 months later now, How do you feel about your breast lift? I had a Lower Body Lift 5 days ago. I am planning on getting a breast lift in December of this year. I know with all of the swelling I may not be able to envision having a lift, I just want to be in porportion. So thats why I ask about your Breast Lift.

Thank You for coming back and updating!!!! Can't wait to see your latest update!!!

I'm VERY happy with my breast lift.  I think it actually LOOKS better than my tummy tuck.  But my tummy tuck was VERY neccessary, lol.  I still wear at least a tank top with shelf bra in it, but really I could go braless if I wanted to.  I feel uncomfortable though, lol.  Again, VERY HAPPY!!!
