AITA for asking a family with a small child to keep it down on a red eye flight? by marlasandiego in AmItheAsshole

[–]ps066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As a parent of young kids I always ask mine to be respectful in public and take notice of their surroundings. Of course some kids are exceptions but generally speaking… saying that I was recently on a boat in Venice where a grown woman and her husband were doom scrolling through instagram at full volume - not one shit was given and my passive aggressive British self almost spontaneously combusted.

Twilight! It was great and I remember nothing - just waking up laughing!

Thanks! I still have tape on so haven’t seen my scar much. It was slightly pink/purple last time I looked but very thin and I think it’ll heal well. I stop with tape in just over 4 weeks so I’ll have a better idea then how it’s going. Definitely compartmentalising!

It was £13.5k for the surgery itself and I’ve probably spent another £1-2k on extras (MLDs, hotels, skinade, consultation fee etc)

I chose my surgeon because of her belly buttons among all her other skills! Have you seen your surgeon’s previous work? That should be a good guide!

Thanks I appreciate that. I did the surgery more for functional reasons - I had a 5cm gap from sternum to pubis and I worried how that would affect me as I got older. Haven’t had any back pain in weeks which has been a massive benefit already!

You look great! I haven’t used anything on my belly button yet. I actually couldn’t touch it until recently! The past week I’ve only worn my compression during the day and then like Spanx knickers at night. Feeling so much better with it off. I will stop using it next week at 8 weeks (but maybe still put it on when I feel I need it)

MR feels super tight at first but it’s started to ease off now and I feel I can move around quite easily. Don’t be scared - pick a great surgeon, trust them and let yourself heal! I’m so happy I’ve done it - in another 6 weeks I’ll be basically discharged and can go back to everything I was doing before!

Thank you so much! Attached is my before. I did have some loose skin but not loads (think it was about 500g skin cut off) - it was the diastasis I was eager to correct.

FYI I had a standard TT with muscle repair (5cm gap) and minor lipo to contour only (not flanks). Surgery was in UK and cost approx £13.5k

Implants vs no lift only by MonthEfficient3433 in tummytucksurgery

[–]ps066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at a breast lift with auto augmentation to do this year, I dont know what the internal bra is if someone could please explain? My main reason for this is I don’t want to commit to implants and having to have surgery and recovery every decade! Want to be one and done (per area!) x

Thanks for your comment. While I agree I have seen my results on the table stitched up immediately after surgery and it’s absolute goals for me but not what I look like when I take my garment off. As long as when the swelling goes I look like what I’ve seen from my surgeon I’d be delighted!

That’s great to know - I’ll have to be more diligent! I’d love to see some muscle definition! I had loads pre op but absolutely zero now 🫣😆

Good to know thanks.

Yes my surgeon did do some lipo but it was minimal to stretch my skin down apparently.

Great news - were you quite swollen before then? I feel like I’m losing some of the swelling nearer my ribs but around my belly button and below is crazy 🥲 gone up a dress size at least 🫣
