Full Tummy Tuck to correct Smart Lipo Disfigurement - Beverly Hills, CA

God that vertical scar is a hot mess, I'm betting there's going to be a revision. I knew it just couldn't be simple. Thank you:) I'm upping my protein, one been starving trying to loose weight, so that can't be helping with the wound healing lol!

That's awesome! I hope I'm one of those gals! Thank you for the good news:)

I think so and you're not "fat with scars". Made me sad to see that. You're still early on and once the swelling goes you'll see a big difference. We're all so anxious to see our final result but it takes time. I'm 5 months and still swelling but not as bad. Each week gets better and I too am sick of the swelling! Lol. If after 6-12 months its not what you expected I think the ps will do a revision. Seems like most if not all will:). Stay strong and try not to let it get you down:) hugs:)

That was so good to hear:) I know, day one I looked so amazing (to me:) but then seemed like I entered swell hell and never left! You're right, I just have to get back to being patient. The swelling makes everything look distorted. It's got to get better, I so much appreciate it. I needed to hear that:) thank you!!!

Thank you so much, YOU look fantastic!!!

WTH!!! Now you're having pain. I need to call. I'm glad it's getting done sooner. I would think that's a better thing right? So when's it scheduled for? I don't have the words. I feel so damn bad. The revision will end all this nonsense. I'm so sorry:(

Yes, I'm in a LOT of pain actually - enough that I finally broke down to take a pain pill at 3a.m. Today I started on Prednisone (hoping to reduce swelling) but it's obvious my seroma won't close on its own. Yes, it sucks. ;D My doctor has been great about trying to deal with it - no issues in trying anything that we think might work. So, revision surgery here I come!

Oh my gosh, how the heck are you? I hardly come on here at all any more, only when I see someone really struggling! I'm pretty much back to normal. I don't do any core excercises, I just do a lot of walking and hiking. I never stopped swelling, no one day has gone by where I don't swell, but it's just around the incision and under the bb so its normal and I'll probably be one if those 5 month people. So it's really hard to tell how good it's going to look. But it's already a huge improvement so it can only get better? The incision isn't fading out as fast as others but it will fade out. I'm just a slower healer. That's about it! I love that I don't have to work the crappy job anymore, I'm doing my resale real estate and I've been busy! So no cupcake business yet lol! So how is your new job been going? You healed up so fast, I can only imagine how great your doing now!!! I bet you're loving your results and how you feel, especially with your fantastic attitude and awesome doctor;) can't wait to her what you've been up to!!!

I still swell daily too. But is worth the trade off of a flat tummy :) your fair skin so the incision will be pink longer then it'll be nice and light. :( about the cupcakes but maybe one day soon! I'm doing good. really glad i did this for me :) ((((hugs)))))

It is! I know it's temporary, so I don't worry about it too much. But Im so glad that I did it and it wasn't a bad recovery at all. I'm pleasantly suprised with tbe whe experience:(. I would have liked her to pull tighter so I wod have been flatter, but I would probably have had necrosis issues had she gone tighter. Depending on how it turns out after the swelling, I may be a candidate for some revision? But I don't know . You were looking amazing, your scars got to almost gone by now;). I was so happy, during this process I lost about 23 pounds, now to keep going and keep it off!!! It sounds like you're doing great and it was all worth it, yay !!!! I know, I'm sad I got busy, it got me distracted from my cupcakes lol! But I'll get there eventually:). Glad everything is going great my friend and hugs to you!!!

Thank you! ! So far I'm impressed with it. I don't know if it's normal healing, but everyday there is a noticeable change. I'm going to stick w/ it and see. When do you get to start treating your incision?

Thank you Miss D! I really think that stuff is working. Everyday I see an improvement, so I guess I'll keep using it:)

I would too! I may get some - not sure. I'm using bio oil and cocobutter at home. Used my silicone strip at work. Hey why not add a little biocorneium in the mix too, lol! ((((Hugs)))) girl!

I was skeptical when my PS til me about it, but I'm becoming a believer. I did a test spot on something on my face from last week, yesterday I couldn't even find where it had been! Just got another zit so I'm trying it again, damn zits lol!

Thank you so much K25 and welcome!!! I wish I didn't have to get the vertical, but I think it will fade away. It is so worth it though so don't give it a second thought:). And your young with beautiful skin, it will heal so well and will fade to nothing. All my Drs. said I had to have it so I was expecting it. Didn't think it would go quite so far up, but I can get it revised later I bet:). There's a couple of us on here, I just can't remember who. Me and my bad memory! I did the same thing before mine bc I couldn't figure out what it would look like. So exciting, you're going to love it! Ask Me anything, I love to help:). Good luck and can't wait to see your updates ;)

You are so sweet, thank you Salliee!!! I hope so, I'm trying to be patient, we'll see:). I may have to update some of my review if not:/.
