Healing update

Not sure if anyone reads these but will keep updating periodically incase someone comes across it in the future.
It's been roughly 10 weeks since surgery and everything is going great. Everything is healing really well, have the occasional spitting stitch which creates a tiny hole but they heal up on their own without any issue.
I'm really pleased with how everything is looking, the breast scars are so light already. I think that's because of my surgical bra as apparently compression helps scar appearance.
Nothing else major to report, got another check up in February to review scar fading etc.
Happy healing everyone :)

4 weeks post op

So today marks 4 weeks post op. I've had some minor concerns with my healing in the past week or so (I'll post photos) but after contacting Dr Plovier and receiving instructions to care for the affected areas I'm pleased to report that everything is healing really well now. I've got a suspected Seroma and I am booked in for Dr Plovier to drain it on the 15th of this month.
I've been using my Avene Cicalfate cream on my scars for the past two days and my Lily C silicone C section strips on my tummy tuck scars for about 5 days and I'm really pleased with how they're looking already, would especially recommend the Avene cream as I noticed a massive difference after just one use.
First day on my own with my children today and it went well, no pain etc when lifting them.
Will update after my follow up on the 15th :) x

17 days post op

Changed my bandages on my stomach again today. Slightly concerned as there is a small amount of yellow fluid coming out of an area on my belly button and looking at my actual tummy tuck scar there looks to be a small amount starting to come out there too. Hoping from what I've read that it's just a dissolvable stitch making it's way out and it will be fine, will keep a close eye on them both.
Put some germolene in my belly button and going to wash it with salty water in the morning and recover.

On a positive note though I'm feeling good in myself and in general am very happy with how my scar has improved in just 4 days, not long now until I can see my breast scars! X

Early on in the healing process but after having reservations about having surgery abroad I can honestly say I needn't have worried. Everything was so professional and everyone was absolutely lovely. Pleased with my results so far. Would absolutely recommend Dr Plovier
