Thx 45isnew25, I like your user name by the way! It's all about having realistic expectations, and I knew at this early stage my incision wouldn't look perfect, but I didn't expect it to look the way it does. Thanks for the support and I will keep you all posted on my progress!

Thanks I like the name also and really feel it..especially now after TT. Take a look at my review pics and you can see my puckering on one side if you enlarge the pic. It is just about gone and normal now...so ask your ps and then wait and see. Good luck!!

My incision puckered on both ends and on one side was a real "hot mess" and I knew there was no way it would resolve, but now at 8 weeks it looks to be almost gone and resolved on it's own from swelling dissipating and lipo bands resolving. So it definitely can resolve on its own and your ps will have you wait til at least 3 months post op normally before making a decision on revisions.

At 4 days post-op, you are only just beginning the very long journey of healing from a TT. Everyone's incision looks like a "hot mess" in the very beginning. (excellent description).

Just take care. If you have any real concerns, contact your PS.

Thanks Barbie, I will see my PS tomorrow for my first post op visit and discuss my areas of concern on my incision
