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...

How are your inner thighs doing? I thought about doing mine, I'm just scared the skin may start to sag. They're toned now, so I don't want to make them worse.

Thanks! He only took a small amount in the top front area so that it would not stick out when I looked down after having a flat stomach. I didn't understand that initially that it would be a lift required as well and that is a whole added procedure..

Okay, cool! You look great! I see a lot of women getting their inner thighs fone to get a gap and I would like a slight one too, but am afraid it would cause me to need a thigh lift later. I don't think a lot of women know that. Oh well, I guess I need to go hard with my leg presses before summer. Lol

You look so good! I haven't worn than binder a day past 30 days. I wonder if maybe I should try waist training. The thought of wearing that constrictive thing....

I only wear those annoying things at night. It does help with swelling...thx by the way..

How was your belly button healing process? Did you do anything special?
April 18, 2016
It just had scabs initially then it healed after the stitches were removed. It would get dry and crusty often and I used the oils and cocoa butter on it. That's it. No shaping.

Thanks the hope. I was nervous, because it gets dry. I have been using cocoa butter and will try vitamin E oil. You look real good

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...

Everything is looking great!!! Even with the little swelling you still look so flat and your scar is healing well too. How are your thighs? Do you see a big difference in them??? Did you wear a compression garment for them? And how was the healing process with TT & thighs combined?? I want my inner thighs done as well but I'm nervous that I won't be able to walk around lol

I was wandering the same thing. I am so glad to see that she is having such good results.
April 7, 2016
Thank you! Be only did the very top inner front area do that it would not stick out once the tummy was flat... I was told that the full inner thigh may require a lift and that would be a whole other procedure. I didn't understand that before I titled this review...sry. It was sore but not unbearable... you should be ok if you get both. I don't see the part sticking out, so I guess it worked...lol. Yes, my garment compress my tummy and thighs.
