WORTH IT
Hi,
I experienced bald spot on my head and lots of hair loss.
On 4/26, I had my full TT and on 07/06, I noticed that I had a bald spot and a bit of hair loss on the back of my head/neck.
I read that some people experience hair loss due to surgery.
I would like to know; how many of you had this same experience?
On 09/11, I noticed that some hair is starting to grow on my bald spot, but lots of hair continue to fall off when I brush my hair and shower.
I still continue to think that it was all worth it, even if I'm bald for a couple of months. Hahahaha!

I love my scar and I no longer have sagging skin or dog ears.
My belly button is way smaller and the scar is better than before.
I continue to use the silicone strips.

Yay, your scar line does look much better! I hope I have as good of luck as you did on my second go around! So glad you were able to get that done and feel better about your TT :-)
Thanks.
I actually started going to the gym again...
I'm positive that your revision will go well too.

Hi- I have a few questions about your revision....my problem is a "step off" from above my incision to below my incision. I love the belly I have but just below my incision there wasn't really any fat so it's like a noticible difference that casts a shadow down on my scar. I'd posted my question about the difference in skin thickness above and below my scar and only two doctors responded. One said I'd need fat transfer or revision surgery. My question to you is: when they cut out your scar did they raise the skin flap again? Did you require a drain? Or do you think just the top couple layers of skin were excised around the scar to remove it ? I'm thinking maybe some lipo above my scar might even things out a little but really don't want to be toooo flat (aethestically I don't find that attractive) and I'm also scared of lipo lumps!
Hi,
The Dr. only cut around the scar and extended the incision to remove the dog ears.
No drains were needed since, he didn't lift my skin up.
I have not idea how many layers of skin he cut through but, I think it was only the top skin.

Hi,
In my revision the Dr. had to pull more skin down to bring down the scar and to revise the scar and remove more skin from the sides to remove the dog ears. No drains at all.

On Friday, I had my follow up check-up and my BB stitches were removed. I posted some pics that I took on Monday. Also, I'm able to go back to my daily routine....Yeah, I can't wait to work out again.

Looking good girl, IT wouldn't hurt to use the silicone, even though your scar looks nice and tight.. it may speed up the recovery!
Yes, you're right. Thanks.
