Finally! 10 days to Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair and Flank Lipo.

I am actually 3 weeks out today, I wrote an update last week but forgot to post it until today ????. This week has been a little more challenging, a little more pain (tolerable with ibuprofen) and swelling. I tried to go back to work 3-4 hours a day (cosmetologist) this week but I find i am swelling a lot from being on my feet so I am cutting back to 2-3 hours per day (I have amazing clients). I will see the surgeon next week for pictures and to check up on my progress!

I am two weeks out from surgery and feeling pretty great! I am only taking ibuprofen periodically for any discomfort but generally I only take my daily vitamin regimen and collagen to encourage healing.
The only discomfort I really have are on my hips where the drain tubes were. I am religiously applying the scar cream 3 times a day and massaging the lipo areas that are still lumpy. I am also wearing my binder (because my mean nurse-husband) gets on me if I take it off! I am getting a little stir crazy around the house and I have a few outings planned for the rest of the week, so I am excited to get out a bit. We have had over 8 inches of snow and expecting more so taking it careful outside. Looking forward to my next check up where they will take photos to compare to the before pictures!

I am feeling much better from the flu symptoms! Went to the Dr today and had the stitches and drain tubes removed! Feels great! Still have some lumpiness from the Lipo and have scar cream to apply twice daily. I go back in 3 weeks for a follow up! Will post some pics soon!
