8 months post op TT

8 months post op

WORTH IT$6,000
So I've recently gained 10 lbs. I'm getting too comfortable with myself. Other then that my tummy is flat but I noticed I am able to grab my stomach when I sit. I'm not sure if its from the weight gain or from a poor procedure. I don't like my belly button or scar at the moment. I'm looking into getting it redone within the next year. Here's a current pic of my belly and as you all know all of my stretch marks weren't able to be removed :/ on the plus side I don't regret my procedure at all nothing feels better then having a flat tummy :)

Sorry you had all that with your scar, but you are looking great, I'm at 9wks in the afternoon is when my swelling starts any suggestion, how long did you wear your CG,I don't wear my when I'm being lazy at home,should I?
I had it on for about 6 weeks. Swelling usually occurs when you do too much. They have different stages for post op girdles

I am 5 weeks post and I must say this recovery...

I am 5 weeks post and I must say this recovery process has been a rollercoaster. My incisions are still open but are getting smaller everyday. I change my dressings twice a day and it looks like thats helping out a lot. I still wear wear compression garments. i have the fleexes one I mentioned before I have also purchased a thong compression garment that goes all the way up to my bra. That one is good to wear when wearing shorts or going out of the house its less noticeable and was only $8. I went to Forever 21
lastnight and tried one swimsuits and I left there sad. My TT incision is so high up on the side its hard finding a swimsuit that covers my scar not only that but my boobies are saggy and my thighs need major work. I cannot wait until my incisions close and I am able go workout. On a positive not i went from a size 28 prior to TT to size 26 now :)))). I cannot wait for my final result 2 more months to go to reach my 3 months post op. I will post pictures in a bit with my fleexes garment, how high and open my scar is and side views just so everyone can see my progress

I have heard that applying honey to the open wounds does wonders for healing and scarring.
Really? thank you, I will try it :-)
Whats your doctor saying now... Its 5 weeks post op? I have little to no patience, I would have gone for a second opinion from another PS...5 weeks post op seems long enough for your wound to close...
Severval more weeks to close since the opening was so big :/ I was impatient at first too now I really have no choice but to wait. It is getting smaller now im just hoping i wont scar as bad.
*He said it would take
Hi, thanks for sharing your journey! I'm scheduled for TT with Dr. Kadz in 3 weeks. I'm so nervous, reading and seeing your progress helps me to know what it's going to be like.
Hi thanks for sharing your story. I am having a similar issues with my incision and a small part opening. I amN 2 weeks post op. I am so upset about how my scar will heal. My dr assures me it will all be fine bad it's normal. How is your scar healing? Please help put me at ease!! Thank you..
*but it's Normal
I will post pics up shortly I honestly hate the way it healed. I'm looking into getting a scar revision in about 9 months or so. I hope you heal better then I did. Everyone's different keep your head up positive vibes your way!
Thanks for sharing your pics. My incision part that open isn't too big. I have been caring for it 24/7! He wants to see next week to discuss scar treatments he said and to see how it's healing. You look fabulous and are rocking that black outfit! Thanks for the positive vibes and hugs to you! I will keep you updated.
How is your scar healing? They have silicone strips that should help flatten and minimize the scar.
