I had a small wrinkle in my scar and that went away. Honestly you just have to be patient. I feel like my stomach changes so much. I was very unhappy with some loose skin last week, and this week it appears to be tightening up. I've told myself I need to wait at least 6 months before I see what it will really look like.
I know it's hard, but try to be patient and try not to compare yourself to anyone else!
Thanks Vegas! I haven't been on this site in a while because I just get sad that other people look so much better than I do! I'll be 6 weeks out on Thursday and I have loose skin and wrinkles. I truly think it will need to be redone rather than just have the sagging skin by my scar removed. It really could be pulled tighter and I've been so upset about it all! This recovery was so much harder for me than I thought it would be and I can't even imagine doing it again! But I really can't live with it looking this crappy. I don't even feel comfortable having my husband look at it, even though he doesn't care at all! And I showed my girlfriend who also had a tuck and she said it should not look like that. So bummed!!!
Thanks for asking! I'm feeling great overall. My hematoma absorbed so we did not need to drain it, however I do have some sagging skin because of the stretched out skin. My PS said if it has not tightened up at the 6 month mark we will fix it. I'm trying to stay positive!
