I paid about $7k for a TT. I definitely think it helps me mentally in maintaining. After spending all that $ and having the flattest tummy ever as an adult I do NOT want to mess it up!

I had drains for my LBL (done at the same time as my breasts) but not my breasts themselves. My LBL drains were only in for 8 days so it wasn't so bad. If you friend me you can see a current (censored) picture of my breasts now. I think they look very nice and natural (with no implants, of course, they would but given the long sock look I had before it's amazing!).

cool. took off the dressing and i'm so pleased . . . especially with your added info! did you have drains? i don't have any and so glad i didn't need them. had images in my head of going back to work and having to hide them. omg, being able to shower today and put makeup on is soooooooooooooo great. i looked crazy yesterday and you could see it my son and grandson's face. they're bringing back my car today so i'm glad i look a bit more human and girlie! back to bed. way too tired. hope i don't lose more hair. sorry for the random med induced message here.

My breasts (no augmentation) seemed HUGE at first due to swelling. You could literally bounce a quarter off them they were so firm. They have softened up and dropped nicely and are a much more reasonable size.

get to take my dressings off tomorrow. they seem a bit larger than expected but may be due to swelling. breasts don't hurt at all but the mons reduction and dog ear tweak have a burning sensation. thank heavens for my son. he came over and brought all of my things upstairs. mom still driving me crazy but now the dogs and i had a great/much needed sleep session.

I just had a lower body lift and breast lift with Dr. Michaels. There are pictures on my profile if you friend request me you can see them.

Thank you so much for your input. That is saying something to travel from out of state. I travel in an RV during the winter months and have limited internet power. In the summer I live in south Jersey on a farm in the woods and have satellite internet and have trouble watching anything. Its so frustrating because I can't ever watch utube videos or stream shows. I'll try to do it at a friends when I can. Do you have any input on Dr Capella or any other Dr's? I want to have a consult with at least two of them. I am willing to travel but would like to stay in the North East.
I was impressed with the results the people here shared who used Dr Michaels. Speaks volumes to me.
I also heard Dr. Capella uses a different stitch technique like already mentioned.
To each his own.. not saying one better then the other and you need to feel comfortable.
You're welcome :)
I don't "use" instagram either (i.e., I don't have an account), but you don't actually need one to see the pics he posts.

BE WARE - there are graphic pictures of pre-, post-, and during-operation bodies :D

That all makes sense. I don't use Instagram but will have to start. I didn't even know dr's use it. I was reading his website last night and see that I can do the Skype things which is awesome. Thanks for the info!
