So here are some after pics. I got my tape taken off today. The Incision does not look bad at all. I'm a bit swollen. My binder is getting loose and it is hard to keep on. I am still going to use it for a while though. My doctor says it will help heal faster. Love the results. I really want to wear jeans so badly but I know it's not time yet. Hitting the gym tomorrow for a light workout. So ready for that . I feel pretty normal now. Every once in a while a getting a burning twitch from the lipo but it's not bad.

It looks good! Did you notice a slight tightening in the upper abdomen as well with the mini TT?

So how is the exercise working out for you? You able to handle it at 3 - 4 weeks? I noticed that you were going to hit the gym around 3 weeks (a week ago).

It makes me feel great. I'm only focusing on cardio right now. I will do weights in about 2 weeks. I do get a bit swollen but not bad. Word to the wise , stay away from pasta for a while. That seemed to make me swell the most

I'm glad your doing ok but please keep wearing the binder. The worst swelling is typically day three. Keep up the good work rehydrating:)

Looks fantastic!!! Dunno if your belly button is new but it sure looks nature made. Keep us posted on your healing.

Hi! So I had a mini tuck with smart lipo and muscle tightening . The belly button was not touched. I am prone to keloids so really did not want a scar around it. Today is day 4 and u am going to try to only take Tylenol. We'll see how that goes

It looks awesome!! How much skin was removed? Any muscle repair. What's more sore... The mini incision or the lipo areas??? Just curious... My mini with lipo is Friday!!! Hope everything is going well. Thanks for your posts!

Thank you! Honestly the Incision is not sure. I'm sure in places I did not have wiej done. My arms and legs. My legs feel real heavy. Other than that everything is fine. Can't wait to have a cup of coffee because they tell you no caffeine for 4 days. btw- day 3 and 4 will be tough but my doctor prepared me for that. If you can get past that you are golden. I love my results and would do it all over again

Sorry I never finished answering all your questions. He did muscle repair which is a bit sore but not bad. I did a mini tuck. The incision is longer then my c section scar but so low that I can still wear a bathing Suut. Lipo in upper abs and flanks. Good luck! Please post your progress S well
