3 mos PO - Scar treatments, anyone? - TT, Lipo of Flanks - Massachusetts, MA

Hey RockinMom, I hear you on the big butt & legs. I had my TT the same week as you so I have been checking out how people are doing. And I had put on 5 lbs on vacation right before surgery, lost 5 lbs with the surgery, and am about where I started, maybe up a lb or two. So where is that extra weight now? I keep looking at my butt & legs & thinking they are huge. I wish I had taken pics of them before the TT but of course I didn't. I can't decide, do they look huge because I actually have a normal sized belly now? Or did they get bigger? My PS did tell me that with lipo if I gained any weight later I'd probably put it on somewhere other than where it came off with the lipo. So of course I was hoping for it to go to my boobs but no such luck.... Anyway hope you are doing better!

Thanks! I too wonder how much is time & how much is due to all the different things we try. But the vaseline sure sounds a lot easier than these silicone strips!

Thanks, Tucker! I am at least not itchy, i guess because my tummy is still numb. So maybe that is good. But the scar is so purple, I am hoping it will get whiter. The vitamin E sounds a lot easier!

Thanks, 1of5! Does it soften the scar or does it also lighten it? Mine is awfully purple right now.
