lovedonthurtAugust 24, 2015
the 27th will make a month post op and im digusted with my results. My stomach soilt fown the middle and i dont kno why and i still have fat in my stomach. I thiught my stomach would b flat or at least flatter than wat it was. My bad pain is horrible i can barely sleep at night and this faja is sucking the soul out of me. I have contacted dr. medina many times asking her about the split in my stomach snd she saying its faja burn and its not the spilt is starting from my belly button. i seen a plastic surgent today in the states and he said my dr did a horrible job i was so embrassed he said i wasted my money. I mean dont get me wrong my stomach is smaller than wat it started iut but wth i did a tummy tuck to get rid of strech marks and ended up getting a permanent mark i dont believe it will go bac to my skin color. im so unhappy i swear

Wow..I'm sorry that you're going through that. It might be an infection because my wound got infected and left a small hole in the front of my incision and it was pink too. Then my incision reopened on one side and the stitches were poking through. I started using Medihoney and its been healing my wounds pretty good. You should probably look into purchasing some for yourself because it is a product that is used to heal diabetic foot ulcers. However, I've read quite a few reviews where this product was used to heal stubborn wounds, and it had been healing mine. I hope this helps and that you get well. :)

Well other than your navel mishap, I think you look great if that makes you feel any better. I've been battling with wounds myself so I understand how you feel. Especially after having complications with the blood transfusion and all. We are kind of in the same boat. I too have to go back for a second round but she did explain that to me before surgery. She said that I had too much fat to remove in one session but she would remove as much as she could without jeopardizing my life. She removed 7 liters of fat and I still feel big as a house. Anywho.. I'm praying that you have a speedy recovery. Ask your doctor about using Medihoney gauze until you can use the ointment. I'm telling you, it works wonders!!

Having a tummy tuck a week from tomorrow and I'm going to find this Medihoney
September 3, 2015
Yes...get you some cause it works great. I had 2 areas on my incision that didn't want to heal, and the Medihoney sealed the deal. Good luck on your surgery. I wish you wellness and beauty.

So sorry to hear about your spilt. I wouldn't go back to the original doctor. I would stick with the new doctor in the states. The first doctor's explanation that your split was caused by the faja doesn't make any sense. Can you try using lotion with aloe Vera or vitamin e on your stretch marks? Sending hugs your way.

I was really swollen for about 2 weeks after surgery. Almost looked bigger than before the surgery. Even though I was swollen, my tummy was flat.
I can always tell when I need to have the fluid drained by the nurse (the seromas). My belly feels like a water bed and it looks like I have a spare tire around my middle. If you push in one side of my tummy, there's a wave of fluid that moves to the other side. It doesn't hurt but I feel really bloated and uncomfortable. It usually takes about 3 weeks between aspirations before the fluid builds up again. After the nurse removes the fluid, my tummy is nice and flat again.
Keep us updated on what's happening with you. I feel so bad for you. We spend so much money to improve ourselves and then something beyond our control goes wrong. Sending lots of hugs to you.

Can you take a pic from further away ? It's difficult to see the whole result. It it also normal to carry extra pounds / be heavy / very swollen for some months after surgery, it does go down. Maybe weight 3 months, then get three second opinions ? But good luck we will all be thinking of you x

Biafine works well and bactrine. Keep wearing the stage two faja you need the support for the swelling no matter what keep wearing it!!!!

It does take more than 28 day to feel like your old self. I still don't feel the same and trust me by week six you will feel a lot better. Compression is key no matter what and buy some spanx for faja relief and a abdominal support band or back brace. I even still wear my ab board and faja to work

Biafine and bactrine to help heal the scar. Scar therapy comes much later probably at five to six weeks post op. I use bio oil and some scar therapy from my plastic surgeon here in GA since the tummy tuck/lipo I have had a breast reduction at six weeks post op by a Dr in GA
