Mini Tummy Tuck/umbilical Float--33 Yrs Old, 2 Kiddos--both C Sections. Belly Flap Desperately Wanting to Get Rid of - TX

I went to 4 PS before choosing mine. I was terrified to do this over such a small problem area, in others eyes. But in mine it was such an annoyance and confident crusher. Before my surgery I was going to the gym 5-6x a week and eating clean...doing everything I possibly could to try to fix my issue but never having the luck and all the PS said it would never go away without surgery. 3 out of the 4 told me to just do a scar revision but it'd leave me with still having a pooch but at least the major indent would be gone from c section scar. Well anyways--I went along with the one that said mini would work great on me and give me that toned look when I can start working out again. Had it done on 4/14/16. Everything went great until day 5 went to have my drain taken out and they noticed I had a major allergic reaction to adhesive and tape or both. So they had to take dressing off, yes on day 5, so had to start putting bacitracin on rash then bandages under garment. Well day 7 came and boom major rash--Yes allergic to bacitracin ointment that was suppose to resolve my rash. Had to stop everything completely...no oinment...no garment...completely dry and started taking steroids. Well here I am at the 4 wks mark and my rash is completely gone--just insanely swelling and hard to keep it down. Don't know what to do but just give it time and don't do anything I shouldn't and solely listen to my PS. I wasn't going to post on here but who knows if someone else has issues that I have had or will and I can assure u...I know it doesn't feel as its going to resolve...but it will!!

PS said everything is looking good but I'm likely just one of those who will swell for maybe 6 mths-1 year...just never know but we'll see. At least the incision itself looks amazing and a huge plus--just to get over all the swelling...that'll be when I'll be truly 100% happy. Started with Embrace today and hoping that'll help especially with my scar tissue build up. Just praying I don't have a bad reaction to it like everything else--I'll be watching it very closely. PS also said I could start doing more physically and see how I'm feeling the next day...just go day to day but never overdoing it and listen to my body closely. Very good overall appt today

Embrace takes all the tension off incision site and feels tons better!!!! I'd definitely suggest Embrace to everyone out there
