Scar update... 4.5 months post op

[CowgirlJane 14,260]

I had very extensive plastics Oct 14 2013 by Dr Sauceda in Mexico - 4.5 months ago. Scar maturity varies alot by individual - genetics etc. I did use silicone strips but have stopped recently since they make me crazy... I am now using massage and lotions including mederma. I can't show the breast lift ones but they are essentially invisible since I only had the lollipop incision, no scarring under the breast.

This photo is in a cocktail dress with no Spanx or other flattening clothing... wow what a difference

One of these days I will get around to updated bikini pics to compare to my preop ones ...

Jane! You look happy and joyful in that cocktail dress!!! Not to mention you rock that dress.

I think your scars look great for 4.5 months. Thanks for posting an update with pics.

Funny thing about posting progress photos. When have you progressed to the point you want to post photos? KWIM?

Do you mind me asking how much it cost? I am staking the cash away now.

I think you should post whenever you feel comfortable. I think my first one was just 2 or so weeks post op. I haven't done it more frequently because it is a pain to get photos...haha

Alot of questions were answered in this very long thread - the first page and I think page 5 really contain alot of "info" if you are interested.

I am interested! Thank you for posting the link. I am 99% using the app which is soooooo limited; although, I hear the app is improving Spring 2014.

I think that's what stalls me out on progress pics as well. They are hard to get. I don't have long arms so I take terrible "selfies". I have to edit the photos to be appropriate to this site. But I just realized I have bikinis! Duh.

Very nice. Wendy williams (tv show) got a tattoo on her Tummy Tuck scar

That, is an awesome result. You must be elated.

Thank you for posting. I was taljking about plastics today with acoworker who is two months out from a Tummy Tuck. Told her I need plastics but am worried about scars. It is great to see other's results.

The scar healing is great!! And Jane looks amazing.

I am a lil concerned for my own scar as my Dr said my panties would cover the incision which clearly isn't the case here

Not that I'd opt out of the surgery for that reason.

Gorgeous!

I rolled down my panties for the photo .. The lower body lift scar is covered by them. The thigh incisions are mostly covered. (I did not get the long thigh lift) And in truth i really am not bothered by the scars but they should continue to fade.
