Default Pre and post plastic pics...View at own risk

Here are some pics

The first two are the am prior to surgery

I am posting a 2 day post op pic. I forgot to take a lateral, but it is flat as a board. I have a few marks from the adhesive tape and there is a bandaid where a mole was removed as well.

The Incisions have brown steristrips on them and that is why they look so dark. I have some swelling, particularly on the left side of my abdomen by my hip bone.

All in all I think it looks better than most recent post op pics I have seen
The flatness of the bottom of the breasts rounds out as the swelling goes down.

No implants and I think I am happy with the proportions.

The last was the view from my suite

Inquiring minds wanted to know

I think at three months, that is when all things start to look very normal and by a year, the scars you have are the scars you keep. I very much debated whether to post that one pic. I discussed it with the hubby and he thought it would be helpful to others. I know I was freaking out at some post op pics. Remember that at 2 days post op...that is the worst it gets...little by little with patience, it gets better every day in appearance.

dyann, i think it looks amazing already, i want to have it done by your surgeon, your post op pics are the best i have seen yet!

i want a boob lift/reduction and no implants as well and if mine look as good as yours do NOW, i would be happy.

thank you again for sharing, yours dont scare me, so i will find a surgeon that has post op pics like yours.

Dyann, you do look amazing for 2 days post op. AMAZING! Your surgeon did a fantastic job. Your scarring doesn't look near as scary as I expected. This quells my fears a bit for my surgery. Thank you so much for posting.

Thanks for sharing Dyann - very big of you to do so and yes it is appreciated.

Umm not too bad girl. Not too bad! Girl, you look good!

I'm pretty sure I will need a boob job too. Mainly because they have been hanging for years so I can only get worse later.

I like the idea of no implants. I think they end up looking unreal if you are over a certain age and the maintenance is a hassle.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
