lol! whew who knew it could get so ugly on a site while talking about teeth?! My goodness. Too funny.

TCA peels do NOT remove tattoos! That is very dangerous. TCA is an acid and can cause SEVERE burns. The best chance of getting rid of the tattoo is a laser. Please DO NOT use this chemical to remove your tattoo. It will not work and it can cause serious injury. Look on this site at all of the injuries caused by chemical peels using tca. Please be careful.

what did u use please?

Hello there. You are only 30 days post op & are still swollen. It takes quite some time for it to go down. I had my surgery Nov 5, 2009 & I am still swollen. You have to give yourself more time to heal. Perhaps u should visit your doctor. I had that same wave like feeling in my stomach which was caused by a Seroma. My doctor had to drain it several times. The seroma was very uncomfortable and left my tummy looking lopsided. However, It does not hurt to have it drained at all. Don't be sad. You have a long way to go. When I first had my tt done, I could not fit any of my jeans! Now, I can fit all of my clothing. Although my shape is definitely different. I hope that i have been helpful. Have faith that you will love your new body in time.

It sounds to me as if the doctor removed the tubes too soon. After only two days your were more then likely still draining. I had the tubes in for about a week & I was still draining. As a result, I developed a seroma. Has your doctor drained your seroma with a needle? It really doesn't hurt & you really need him to drain it if he hasn't already. For the scar I recommend a product called Arnica gel. It's sold in GNC. It's excellent for scars. Anyway, pls post pics. I would like to see how it's healing. Hope I've been helpful. Good luck.
