**Tummy Tuck and Lipo. Ready for the Outside to Match the Inside!!** - Columbus, GA

Late post. I saw my PS last week. Everything went well for the most part. He was very pleased with my results but stated that my belly button was kind of thick. So, he asked that I hop on the table for some cortisone injections. I asked would they hurt because I'm a big baby and hate shots. He said I should still be mostly numb. He was right. I only felt a slight sting a couple of times, but nothing unbearable. I was later bandaged up due to blood drops from the shots. He spent more time with me this time answering all of my questions and concerns. He said if i needed to come back in a couple of months due to my scar turning dark and being raised in some areas, I could do so. As of now, that was my last required appointment. What will I do with myself...lol. The nurse took after pictures and asked did I mind being placed in the office book. I told her that was fine, as I had already signed the consent forms prior to surgery. I had some swelling in the bottom half of my abdomen a couple of days prior so my after shots aren't as flat as I am normally..... you can look at my 3 month pics. I'm extremely pleased overall! I will still keep posting on Instagram (@tummytuck_africanamerican) and answering any questions here. Happy healing and decision making, ladies!

Some minor changes. Scar is thinner and flatter on one side. The other side is darker and raised still. Ready for it to flatten as well. I'm still using cocoa butter with vitamin E oil and coconut oil and alternating the Scar Away strips.
Tummy was freshly unwrapped so excuse the lines...lol...

Twelve weeks. Feeling fine. Swelling as usual and I have started back with more aggressive waist training... and I mean not going so long without anything on... Trying new silicone strips with more adhesive... the CVS brand. I still feel tight and numbness at the bottom of my tummy...
