I'm still glad that I had the procedure, but have to admit that I hate the scar. It's so tight that it's uncomfortable. I would really recommend that everyone planninng on this surgery use not only the recommended creams, but use regular massage to break up the scar tissue. I feel like I didn't do enough massage and am paying the price. However, the work still looks great and I am enjoying the feeling of confidence that I get from the lack of c-section junk.

I've had a couple of blood spots in my bra over the weekend after having a breast lift and augmentation almost 3 weeks ago. I've also developed some apparent bruising in the same breast. I'll call the doctor and doublecheck tomorrow, but has anyone had something similar?

So I got the drain out and am really glad. I had hoped that it would lead to a good night's sleep in my bed instead of the chair, but not so fast. Maybe tonight. I'm trying to wear the ab binder as tight as directed, but it's really challenging. I recall that someone had some discussion about stage 2 garments that included some Spanx products, but I have not been able to locate those discussions again. Does anyone have any recommendations for something to help with swelling post tummy tuck?

Dr. William Hedden did my surgery. I would use him again in a heartbeat. I feel confident that his work was top quality and that I was well cared for. I did not feel comfortable with the pain-control process, but must blame myself and my husband for not communicating my needs to him. Dr. Hedden answered all of my questions and gave plenty of advance information. His staff is very responsive and thoughtful. The staff is a little awkward for a a 40-year old who is concerned about her looks, because most of the staff look like 19 year-olds hunting for a discounted boob-job. Several of them compared me to their moms. (Oh thanks.) I would have loved some more mature staff members at the office. The wait times were absurd. Several times, at different appointments I considered leaving, because I value my time as much as doctors tend to value theirs. My one hope is that the wait times are related to the responsiveness of the doctor and staff to post-op questions, concerns and needs. I had one concern and was seen almost immediately, a convenience which would clearly wreak havoc with scheduling. It might have been helpful if up-front, the risk of long wait times had been discussed, however the 2-hour wait for my consultation was certainly fair warning. Dr. Hedden's bedside manner is a tiny bit stilted, but I was hiring a doctor and not a buddy or a comedian. (Perhaps I would not feel as confident with a more casual doctor?) I feel like I hired a great doctor and recommend him often.
