Well, I had my revision surgery yesterday and everything went fine. He fixed the dog ears but that extended my scar another inch on each side. He also used a
chemical peel on my belly button to lighten it up....it seems a darker skin tone than my tummy. I feel ok, still groggy from the anesthesia. I will post some pics when I'm able to climb the stairs. All in all, recovery is NOTHING compared to TT surgery so for that, I am grateful.

Hello :). Thanks for the update. I'm getting a revision on my hip but I think it's local anesthesia. Did you have general anesthesia? I also have a darker pigment in my belly button. I hope all goes smooth with your recovery. Your last pic of your tummy is amazing :).

Yes. I had general anesthesia...this was after he gave me some pills (have no idea what they were) for nausea and to make me relax. I'm in more pain today as the grogginess of the meds wore off. Thank god for hydrocodone. LOL

At my 6 month PO visit with my doctor, he will be doing revisions on my dog ears. They are minor but I hate the look of them...and my doc is so fabulous, he wants me to look fabulous too. So happy with him and my surgery. My TT is still so amazing to me and after this brief healing (he says a week and minimal pain) I will be all set.

Dog ears is when the skin gets pulled so tight by the hipbone that it leaves a pouch of skin that needs to be trimmed. It looks like a lil pointed dog ear on each side.

5 months out...I still feel tenderness whenever my hubby touches my tummy. My belly button has gotten SO much better looking...it's flattened out considerably. No other news to report other than I go back in a few months to smooth out the dog ears...which is minimal. Still the best decision I ever made. Also, celebrated my 47th birthday and was feeling good :)
