I am 2 was PO for TT and my PS had to clean an area on my incision because he didn't like the way it looked. It's now a very small hole. I would say about the size of a pencil eraser. I was told to apply twice a day in the wound only. Avoiding the surrounding healthy skin. I Googled Santyl and saw some horrifying reviews. I have to say that wound care was in the top 5 of my list of very scary repurcussions of this surgery. Somebody please give me some good news.

You will require an in person assessment to determine if the muscles have in fact separated after your surgery. Regards,

You deserve to have a great tummy tuck performed by a tummy tuck expert. Many providers provide 0% interest, 0% financing for your surgical needs.

As long as you have healed and all the swelling has settled you can consult regarding the additional procedure. Not sure why you didn't choose to have the procedures at the same time. I personally tend to leave 6 months between procedures (mainly due to waiting list) but can be performed sooner.
