18 Month Update

  • 20 Nov 2015
  • 2 years post
It's been just over a year and a half since I had my tummy tuck revision and although I've gained some weight (weight is 154 pounds) my abdomen is still flat. My skin has loosened up somewhat but at my age that's to be expected. My skin buckles when I sit due to poor skin elasticity. Most of the tightness to my lower abdomen has disappeared although the numbness remains. I still have no regrets and happy that I did this for myself.

One Year Update

Today it's been exactly a year since I had my TT revision, something I have not regretted. Probably the best decision I ever made. My weight is back up to 152 pounds from a low of 143 last year but I like to think that I may have built some muscle having done a lot of cycling lately. Still, I'm almost 5'11" tall so that's not really a bad weight. I'm very happy with the way my incision looks today. As you can see, my vertical scar is almost invisible.

My incisions 11 months after my tummy tuck revision

I missed updating for the last two months as I have been rather too busy travelling and working and not obsessing as much about my tummy tuck incision as previously. Besides it didn't seem like my incision was fading much anymore but I now see that compared to three months ago it has definitely faded. I'm confident that in just a few more months the incisions (both horizontal and vertical) will have faded completely. That tight feeling that I used to have seems to be gone and my skin seems to be loosening up somewhat. Still, I have no regrets about having done this.

I had my first consult with "Stan" in August 2012 and I found him to be very personable and kind and I felt totally at ease with him immediately. A friend used him for her TT too and was very happy with her results. I chose Dr. Valnicek both because of my friend's recommendation as well as his great reviews on ratemds.com. Exactly a year after my first consultation I saw him for my pre surgical consult and left his office feeling very confident that my surgery would go well. Dr. Valnicek has a great bedside manner, never seems to be in a hurry, and didn't try to persuade me into making my decision to proceed with the procedure. My results are very good! Yes, Stan's the man!
