6 weeks stitches not dissolving
$30,000
So I've been battling infections and openings along my incisions under my breasts for weeks. As soon as one area heals another opens up. I can feel the stitches under the skin and it hurts to touch them. Saw the nurse yesterday who was able to pull a few out by making tiny incisions. It was like pieces of fishing line coming out. Last night I noticed another one poking out, I tried pulling it but only a little came out and the the rest was pretty stuck in there so I snipped the end. Hoping these dissolve soon so I can heal. The nurse recommended I do a hyperbaric chamber to expedite the healing process. They gave me a referral but it's 2 hours from my house and with the holidays I just can't get there anytime soon. So frustrated.

5 weeks po, before and after comparison pics, floating belly button TT revision
I am proof that a floating belly button can be successfully moved if the right ps does it! I see a lot of docs on here saying it can't be done. Yes, there are risks involved but do your research and find the right doctor.
And I'm still amazed I had that much skin still after my first TT. My bb ring scar is proof of that!

What technique did he use to raise the bb? Did he re-insert it or was your stalk long enough to just stretch your bb a bit higher?

1 mo PO and feeling great
So I'm one month post op today and what a difference from even just a week ago. I am starting to feel like me again. I have more energy than I did, I can walk straight so my back pain is gone. I still can't sleep on my stomach but I noticed the neck pain I've had for years is better. Wondering if it was from stomach sleeping. I'm wearing my new compression garment, it's a lot tighter than the last one but I'm going to wear it as many hours a day as I can stand so I have the best results possible. The infections under my breasts are slowly getting better. I'm still applying silvadene twice a day. I am using a silicone strip across my TT incision. I think it's helping to smooth it out. I've also been continuing to do the lymphatic massage. I think that is helping with my swelling which seems to be minimal now. My inner thighs are still very tender and lumpy. The massage is helping with that too though.

Thank you, I actually have not put anything on my scars. I tried the silicone sheets but they're kind of a pain to use so I only put them on a few times. Other than that I did massage them which really helped make them smoother and softer. I see that your surgery is just around the corner! Congrats and good luck!!!
