32 Yr Old, 3 Kids, Tummy Tuck - Bloomington, IL

Posting pictures 2 years and 3 months post-surgery. Hands down, the best thing I’ve done for myself. I’m so much more confident and carefree, I wear whatever I want and know I look and feel great. The only criticism I I feel my belly button healed a little small, but it doesn’t really bother me.

So things have been going great, I've been back to the usual routine for awhile now. Since I have a desk job and I'm still up 5 lbs since surgery, I recently started trying to increase my activity throughout the day - standing more, walking around the department for a couple minutes, etc.

WHOA.

Coincidentally or not, my swelling is back big-time. My scar is fine, but my overall abdomen (scar to bottom of ribcage) is puffy - I look seriously bloated.

My skinny jeans STILL don't fit because my love handle/hip area is also puffy and/or swollen (had some lipo there with the TT). Don't mistake what I'm saying - I LOVE my results and would do it all again in a heartbeat. I'm just ready for my favorite jeans to fit again!

Almost 3 months PO, I'm having a slightly itchy burning type of pain around my incision and lipo areas - the healing continues. I look better in jeans than I ever have, though my skinny jeans don't fit yet.
