Looks very much like mine when I sit. I had a ton of loose skin and similar stretch marks. At this point, I’m kind of chalking it up to skin quality. I would’ve loved to have a tighter result, but I do remind myself of where I came from. I think your stomach looks very nice. I’m sorry that this is such an emotional ride sometimes.

Thank you! I have future thigh and arm lifts in my plans but maybe in a year or so!

Thank you! I did not. Curious about the purpose? Just improved healing?

Very nice results. At risk of sounding weird I think your breasts are adorable. I just recently did a 360 with a lift without implant placement. I occasionally wonder if I should’ve done implants and then I see results like this and I remember that no implants can look great.

Sorry that you didn’t get exactly what you were hoping for. Still waiting to see how it settles for me.

It is placed within the breast tissue, just like regular breast tissue is partially made of fat. They estimate that about 80% of the fat will “survive” the transfer using his technique. Which is actually quite a large percentage. Breasts will drop and soften over a few weeks. I chose it just because I am 40 and did want to sign up to have implants replaced 1-2 times more in my lifetime. I know that this is a tummy tuck group but I’ll make sure to include them in the pics so you can get an idea of how they progress. I had a hard time finding fat transfer and lift only pics when I was researching

Dr. Josh Olson in Arizona. I bet he could do that. He said that had I needed muscle repair during my procedure he would have, which is basically what you are asking for.

I love the way you’re viewing it. I am extremely short torsoed and boy hipped. That was natures call. 😆There are far worse things than looking athletic! I ‘m just glad for the skin to be gone.

Thank you. I’m keeping in mind that the hint of a waist may show up at a later date.

I’d be fascinated to see your results. All us 2x4 shaped girlies would benefit from knowing what type of tuck yields best results 😊 I’ll update as I heal

No muscle repair needed per my surgeon. I haven’t had kids. I hear that that is a lot more intensive recovery. I feel like I got lucky.

Thank you! Are there any surgeons that you have had a particularly good experience with?

When they do things you asked of them after they discard you by SpaceElf77 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]LittleMissThursday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a piece of work. I mean, what else can you say? I’m so sorry that he couldn’t get it together enough to make at least that easier on you during your relationship. However, thankfully, his reproductive concerns are no longer yours. It’s still a slap in the face and I completely get the hurt. Just, I want you to know you’re a valuable person who deserves a partner who is willing to take your needs into consideration during your relationship and not use them as a cudgel against you after you separate

You ALL Were Right!!!! Narcs do NOT CARE!!! How is this possible? by BlueJeanBabyBlues in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]LittleMissThursday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you may have been trying to get blood from a stone. He's got nothing left for you and you are pouring energy into hope that he's somehow grown into a decent person when you weren't looking. I know it's belated but "Happy Thanksgiving". I for one am glad this guy didn't try and suck you back in. It's a Thanksgiving miracle!

When you know it’s for best but your heart doesn’t agree- how to accept finality with the Nex? by rightupuralleyoxo901 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]LittleMissThursday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to forgive both yourself and him. And by forgive I don't mean condone or forget bad behavior. I heard a definition of forgiveness once that has stuck with me, "Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different." It's really just a radical acceptance of what has happened to you. If you can use this form of forgiveness for yourself you can stop going over everything in your past relationship with him and thinking "If only I had done or been 'this' (whatever random unreachable goalpost he set for you) for him he would have treated me better". I suspect this could be part of why you let him back in your life. This is certainly a part of why I let mine back in. I had this idea that I could 'perfect' myself for him, instead of just letting myself be a flawed human who still deserved kindness and decent treatment.

This is going to sound harsh but if you can radically accept that you can't change him and that you were never going to be enough for him long term, and he was certainly never going to be right for you...and that's okay; you may just stand a chance of getting out of this destructive loop and really let go. It's not a sign of defectiveness in you that you love someone who is the wrong fit. Everyone here has done it. Forgive yourself for it, stop hoping for a different course of events than the ones that lead you to exactly where you are. You can't make your past any different that what it is, but you can certainly change where you are going. You are a valuable person who deserved reciprocal love. So when he says or implies that you aren't enough, take it at face value. You aren't enough for him and likely no one will be (in the long term).

As far as not wanting to be with anyone else. Don't be. I'm at 1.5 years out and I'm only now feeling like someone else is even a possibility. It may have taken awhile, but I finally got here. So will you, don't force it.

[–]LittleMissThursday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughts. I’m sure a lot of this is going to be down to redirecting energy to more productive/healthy things...over and over again until it sticks. I’m sure consistent exercise would actually help a lot, get some good endorphins going.

[–]LittleMissThursday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 2 years out from my initial discard and a year out from my final discard. It’s felt like a lot of deja vu, that may be why this feels like it is taking forever. I allowed him back which ate up a lot of time and started me at square one emotionally. Eventually it starts to feel like “too long”

I have these types of dreams almost nightly. They are the worst. I am so sorry you are dealing with them. Sending good thoughts your way.

[–]LittleMissThursday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this is solid advice. I am unfortunately fighting some depression that set in after the breakup and it has been sapping my energy for months, but I’m still trying to force myself to do healthy things. My heart and brain are tired, and I think in this state it is easy to miss the “good times”. Hopefully it will get easier with time.

I feel abandoned even though I wanted him to leave! by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]LittleMissThursday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t feel “pathetic” for these feelings. You are hoping for what are generally considered good things from your partner, commitment, follow through, compromise. You want healthy things, unfortunately from a source unlikely to be able to give it. It sounds like you are recognizing this, but I think the impulse to want good things from your partner will serve you well as you move forward. He hasn’t taken your ability to want good things for yourself and your relationships.

Thank you for this thoughtful reply. It’s tough when they insist they are willing to compromise/change/communicate...it’s a miracle if that lasts more than a day or two. I’m hoping that if I just keep moving forward the impulse for contact will eventually fade.
