Well I feel so horrible by my wound opening up. I am 5’4” and when I when into surgery I was at my heaviest at 217. I had a BBL in December. So I decided I wanted to a breast lift and tummy tuck. I am 14 days post op. I did have a Hx of smoking but I quit last October. My abdomen looks round a swollen and I feel like my skin is so tight in my abdomen I will never be able to stand straight.
