Glad you are getting this fixed, hopefully it will be an easy recovery and procedure for you. Are they doing the whole scar? Using a local, I assume. I know you saw that I just had mine done. Be prepared that it can be more than you expect. I was thinking it would be no big deal and a couple weeks before started talking to people who had them, there were a few who seemed fine but most told me it hurt way more than they expected and that was my experience too. Hopefully, you will be one of the ones with where it is not much, but I think it depends on if they use a local, how big of an area they do, and if you have scar tissue. I am still walking slow, still taking meds around the clock, and still very tender but every day is better and only day one was really bad and the needles. I will drive for the first time tomorrow. Anyway, maybe you didn't want to hear all that, could be a piece of cake too ... good luck, you look amazing, btw.

Thanks Lynne,
I may ask for a little extra medication to take home with me based on your experience and my general impatience with pain. I'm not sure how far the incision will go, but maybe longer than originally, and possibly both sides to clear up the pIeating. I do want to hear your experience - thank you so much for sharing.

Yes, it was a bit more time for recovery than I expected. But, for me, it wasn't painful for long because only a small section of scar revised.

So how are you after revision?

It just requires more skin removal and restitching. This is difficult over an area that has scar tissue. I had some slow, delayed healing, but with some wound care it is healed.

It would also be interesting to hear how he revises pleating.

Glad to hear you are scheduled for a revision. You already look fantastic so I am sure you will have even better results after your revision. Do you know what they will be doing for the revision?

An elliptical incision taking out a section of skin on the left side to smooth the incision line and remove the crease. It will be a late day in office procedure with no restrictions regarding flying or returning to work.

Thanks for the picture update Debbie. You are looking great. You look like you have the same bunching as me as the stomach starts relax and stretch. Has your surgeon mentioned revisions for that? Hope you are feeling well. Take care

I emailed him over the weekend and will hear back soon. I'm guessing some minor revision on the edges - particularly the left side.
