6.5 weeks

Swelling still up and down. There does seem to be a bit more extra tissue, fat, on one side. Could just be swelling yet. I'm confident that it'll resolve or will be taken care of my PS. I feel very well taken care of by my doctor. Very happy I went with him.

Note on swelling....its mostly lower swelling but occasionally it's upper abs that swell. Looks so weird. Goes away by the next day.

Almost 4 weeks post op

Took that tape off this morning and happy with the incision thus far. Felt sooooo good to get it off. I didn't realize how much it was annoying me till removing it. I still have a bunch of glue stuck to my skin. If anyone has tips on removing that is love to know!
Still got the swelling bump/ledge/tube. I'm staying positive. It'll resolve as my PS says.
Been cleared for upper body workout and light cardio. Excited to get back at it and can't wait to be cleared for it all!

Before and during....i hope this isn't the after

So much swelling. It's hard to know what to expect for final results right now. The bumps on my side's are my hip bones, not much to be done there but the bulge in the lower abdominal area has me feeling blue.

Overall rating

I met with a few different surgeons before deciding on Dr. Bengston. I'm sure they would have all done a great job, and Dr. Bengston isn't the cheapest option, though you shouldn't make this decision on cost. Dr. Bengston will give you straightforward answers to your questions, realistic expectations for your goals, and impeccable attention to detail and skill in his work. Dr. Bengston is an incredibly skilled surgeon and I'm so glad I chose to work with him. I'm not at my final results yet but the difference is already amazing and I know the end results will be even better. Should I be wanting any further plastic surgery he will be my only call. The staff is also very friendly and kind. The office is beautiful.
