Your tummy looks amazing!  Nice job and I can see why you are so happy. 

How far post op are you?

Would you mind sharing what type of scar therapy you are using, how you found your doctor and any tips for recovery.  It is really helpful to others on the site during the planning process.

Congratulations and happy bikini shopping:)

Aww...Thank you for the compliment and yes I have been in the shopping prowl looking for that perfect bikini. My surgery was in March 2010...the picture with my jeans was taken 5 months after my surgery...The scar therapy I used in the begining was Kelo-cote advanced formula which I bought from Dr's Bruno office. I am now using Palmers cocoa butter formula with vitamin E the cost $4.99. Another tip to remember is NO SUN..at least for the first year...and if you do get sun exposure make sure to wear your spf 30..I use 100 proof...I don't think it matters after 30. I found Dr Bruno through a friend who also had a tummy tuck mommy make over..I hope I answered all your questions and concerns...Thx Carmingia!.. THANK YOU DR BRUNO!

Thanks ladies!... for the first year and maybe even the 2nd year the besst thing to do is stay out of the sun or your scar will get dark also make sure to wear your SPF!!! Those are my words of advice :)

Me too!! My scar goes up high on one side & I was worried about that, because I plan on wearing a bikini this summer! It is hard to imagine this ugly red scar will one day not look so bad! Thanks for giving me hope too!
