I had my tt done on August 15th and I have one spot in the center and every night after I shower its white and yuck looking and it scabs back up the next day. My sides where the drains were did that till about my 5th week. The spot is not red or infected looking but I am getting a little concerned about it. I have seen horrible pictures. The rest of my incision is pretty much a fine red line. My sister had a tt done April of 2012 and my incision looks much better than hers except that one spot. Is this normal to not heal as fast in one area

I had my tummy tuck done on the 15th. I am really bruised and swollen, the Dr was able to remove all my stretch marks ????like everyone else I can not wait to wear a bikini. My boobies I had done a month ago and I love them, they are so full and perfect. They say my stomach is swollen and it is smaller before I started so I can't wait for the final results. A friend gave me a gift card for $250.00 to get my hair done at a really nice salon but I am going to wait another 6 weeks.

I had old saline implants removed that were put in about 10 years ago by a very popular Dr in FT Myers and I was never happy with them they looked like Madonna cones and then after 3 months they were sitting on my lap and I had a lift done at the time. I had the old implants removed the new silicone implants put in and another lift. They look so much better. I really want to go back to the one Dr and ask him to look at all my before and after pictures and tell him what I think of his work. It was Dr Mandrasia and he is supposed to be the best around. I almost lost my nipple because he hooked up a minimal blood supply so when they started surgery it turned black. With extra work and extra expenses Dr Frieman was able to save it and you seen the picture they look great
