I'm very happy with the final results, though I forgot to post my final "after" pics because I have packed on some pounds since my surgery, but my proportions are still perfect, and my waist is still the shape of an hourglass with a nice, flat tummy. My scars are barely noticeable - most of them are completely invisible, with the exception of the two by my bikini line, but those are barely noticeable, and I'd really hope most people aren't staring close enough down there when I'm wearing a bathing suit to notice. Dr Greenberg did a GREAT job.
I'll try to take some after pics this week and post them, but keep in mind, I'm up about 20 lbs : ( but you can still see a BIG difference in my figure. It's still lookin great!
The swelling went down dramatically after 1-2 weeks and I only experience slight swelling if I don't drink enough water or if I go more than a day without wearing my compression garment (which is just something I bought at Macy's - not my surgical one!). I'm still experiencing some hardness around my waist due to scar tissue that has yet to soften, but it's improved a lot within the last week or so.
I'm feeling well enough to go back to my office job. Getting up in the morning is still somewhat difficult and I get stabbing pains where my compression garment digs in overnight when I stand up for the first time, but it passes quickly and I can go on with my day!
I'm driving myself to work today, which means I'm off pain meds during the day. I may take one in the evening if I need it.
