I'll take what I can get!

So, the incision is mostly closed now, but it is DAMN ugly! LOL I swear it's like I have a twizzler under my skin! It is hard, dark maroon colored and raised. I'm trying to massage it, but I don't know if it'll work. Some areas are more sensitive than others and so I have to be more gentle there. Still have some areas where there are stitches sticking out, so I don't know if they will open up or will heal over it. It's a waiting game. I hope everything closes AND STAYS CLOSED so I can put on the silicone treatment, which will hopefully soften these f-ers up.

Stitch Reaction
So, it turns out the holes are abscesses cause by a reaction to the stitches used. My body keeps "spitting" the stitches out, so it has to create holes for them to exit from.
My dilemma is, do I want to have the incision redone,so I can remove the offending stitches?, or do I keep hoping the holes will finally close on its own with no further complications? I'm at 7 weeks today and my incision, where it's closed, it thick and dark from all the scar tissues caused by the reaction to the stitches.
Love my shape...hate my incision, that's where I'm at today.

Incision why won't you heal!!!!
Feeling frustrated. It's been 4 1/2 weeks and this incision refuses to heal. It keeps draining, opening, etc. I saw a local PS who says I have cellulitis & prescribed me bactroban ointment. Dr C said I should also be on antibiotics, so I'll get that as well. I don't get it....I am super paranoid about making sure my hands & incision are clean. I thought I'd be worrying about which scar fading cream I'd be using now, not walking around like an oozing zombie....sigh. Patience, right? Yeah, I know...ugh

You are one month po? U get new lil holes opening about now and they will at least take a month to close while most of the incision closes and heals. Id say till about month two you can use scar treatment until all is closed. It takes time. A lot of it. You will feel more normal at 3 mo po. Id wash my hands with dial for 20 secs plus used hand sanitizer. Used up tons of gauze and neosporin for two months.

I too do the antibacterial hand wash plus sanitizer. I see these women who are almost 5 weeks post op & there scars are nice and healed, meanwhile I look like I had surgery last week...sigh. A month to close, means another month I have to worry about infections, necrosis, ugly scars, etc. Exhausting. I'm trying to stay positive.

maybe they are the skinny ones with a bit of skin removed, i dont know how much u got removed but i got removed a ton and took me a while to heal but I was ready for it and all i went through most of i expected it. Im talking about my personal experience but healing is not that fast and little holes take a bit to cover up. As long as u keep it clean no worries im not sure if there is any necrosis risk with small openings but i dont think so.Most of ur incision will heal.

how are you doing? I'm planning on a ETT, lipo and BBL in November. Planning on staying 2 weeks in TJ for recovery. Probably a little bit in denial thinking I would be fully recovered and fine after 2 weeks. Maybe I'll fly down a family member to stay with me a week to help me with my 3 small ones at home. Besides the little holes not healing, how are you liking the ETT and BBL?? If you don't mind me asking what was your pre-op weight and height? Patience...I know easier said that done sometimes..but it'll all be worth it...can't wait for my turn. take care!!

I stayed 2 weeks and would not recommend staying shorter than that. There can always be complications that crop up and all we can do is be prepared. Most complications begin to show in that 2 week mark, but not all. I'll PM you details

Awwwww! Missing the babies! Your sweet! I have a 3yr old little girl & worry terribly about leaving her for my BBL! Any pics yet or am I just missing them LOL

Does your little girl spend time with another caregiver? I left my babies with my aunt who watched them for me before the surgery and their dad was with them at night. They ended up being better than I expected. :)

She goes to daycare during the day & dad would have her evenings but he is on call at work a lot so that's a worry. It looks like at least 1 week to recover :-) I really want to do this! We may want a 2nd child I'm wondering If I should put this off till after that. I mean that's common sense! Lol. I wish there were more to chose from in Oregon!

If you want a 2nd child, then I recommend holding off. I did that myself because I didn't want to risk ruining the result. My muscles are so tight now, I\d be scared to death to become pregnant again!!
