2 mos post op- not very happy

Hi ladies. I wanted to do a quick update on my progress. I am two mos post operation and look like I'm 4 mos pregnant. Although the bottom of my stomach is very flat, the upper abdomen is very swollen and is protruding. I am very disappointed about this and am going to ask Dr.Oliver if he will perform liposuction to thin my upper stomach. I'm not a person with a lot of discretionary income. In fact, I'm not working so this is a bit devastating for me. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Pictures are below.

2nd Tube removed

Hi ladies. On Thursday, February 19thm I went for my second follow up appointment. Thankfully the second drain was removed. It had started to be very painful and now that the drain has been removed, I feel like I have a huge hole on my right side. I also feel that I smell an odor coming from it. Dr. Oliver stated that he nor his nurse could detect any malodorous smells coming from the drain incision yet I feel that it smells. He says it could be fatty tissue liquefying. Interestingly enough, the left drain was removed on the 6th day, which was my first post op visit and I've had no problems with it. Maybe the right drain stretched my skin and stayed in too long. (????) I will keep you ladies posted and will post a another pic as soon as possible. Has anyone else had problems with itching around the TT incision site or smells?

Dr. Robert Oliver will be performing my procedure. I met him in 2013 and was very impressed. I spoke with 4 Plastic surgeons in an attempt to find the best fit for myself. Dr. Oliver is a 3rd generation surgeon whom truly cares about the well being of his patients. He is very thorough and has exceptional follow up skills. He actually emails his patients directly and is not offended by questions. His goal is to ensure complete understanding of the procedure and to resolve concerns. In addition to his professionalism and beautiful outcomes, he is also a man of faith, which makes me extra happy! His nurse Mandi is also a jewel.
