3 weeks post op revision

Sorry I haven't posted, for some reason I'm not able to post from my phone and I barely use the computer. So I just emailed myself some photos to post you ladies because I know some of you are waiting to see results to help with your PS decision.
So I'm 3 weeks and 1 days post op. The photos were from a few days ago so there's not much change. I love the lipo this time around. As for the belly button I think it will turn out better than the first time but I will have to wait a little longer to actually see. I did get my stitches removed today so hopefully the little lumps that came from the stitches will go away soon. I will post a pic of my belly button in a few days. I''ll take a pic tonight and will try to upload it within the next couple of days.
Overall, everything looks good and I'm pretty flat. I do, however, still have some swelling from the tummy tuck which I hear it's normal and can take a year for it to go down. The swelling is small and it's right in the middle of my abdomen where the scar is.
For those of you trying to make a decision if to go with Dr Gabay, I do recommend him because I still think he's a really good PS, has a great reputation in Philly, is very well-known, and is nice enough to offer a revision if you're not pleased with the results. Also, I think most importantly the tummy tuck scar is awesome. it is pretty thin and low and I can cover with practically anything.
You also need to be aware that not everyone has the same results because we all have different bodies and we all heal differently, and it also depends on the care you give yourself.
That being saidddd here are some pics :)

11 days post op

sorry I haven't updated, I tried doing it from my phone and it wouldn't let me upload the pictures so I gave up on it and forgot to try again. I promise I will try to upload photos again tomorrow morning when I take new pics.

So the surgery went well, I'm doing good. Lipo is good, belly button shape looks ok, butttt idk if it's cause its swollen (PS says its because its swollen) but it looks super weird and creepy and nasty. It has a whole bunch of little balls, that according to PS it's because the skin is held with the stitches and since it's swollen it swells up in between each stitching. It's hard to describe, but I'll put a pic tomorrow and hopefully you ladies won't get freaked out by it. Other than that, everything looks good, and my stitches will be removed in 2 weeks.
I'll try to post pics tomorrow

Ok so I decided to update this later on. I'm almost 9 weeks and will need a belly button revision and more lipo of the flanks. Once everything is done I'll criticize my PS's work.
