3 Month Tummy Tuck Check-In
Happy Sunday to everyone! J
Today is exactly 3 months since my tummy tuck. Time has really flown, and I am more than thrilled with my results! I am still experiencing swelling in my upper abdomen, but trying to everything time to settle down. My lower stomach is SO FLAT! I simply love it. My breast augmentation is scheduled for Tuesday (03/31), so I’m trying not to do too much shopping until everything is healed. I’m going to need a totally new wardrobe when it’s all said and done. :) Shopping is still very weird to me, b/c I don’t have to worry about hiding my stomach anymore… I’ve been shopping around it for so long, my mind hasn’t adjusted yet. LOL
I’m still not back to 100% in the gym yet… still primarily sticking with cardio. Hopefully within the next month, I can get back into my normal routine of cardio (jogging, elliptical, powerwalking) and weight lifting. My scar is definitely changing. I’m not sure if it looks better or worse, but it certainly looks different. LOL. I have continued the twice daily scar massage with Vitamin E oil and Bio Oil. I will continue this routine for the next 3 months, and hopefully the scar will just be a thin line in no time at all. I will try to post a couple pictures later.
Until next time!

10 Weeks Post-Op
As of today, I have officially reached the 10 week mark. Everything has been going well. I’ve had a couple “swell hell” days since my last updated. The swelling didn’t look very dramatic, but it felt like I had a ton of bricks in my abdomen! At times, it felt as though my belly button was being pushed completely out of my stomach. Fortunately, that only lasted 2 days. I still have a little swelling, mostly on my upper right ride and lower left side. Hopefully, it will resolve itself soon.
It still hurts a little when I sneeze or cough, and I occasionally have shooting pains and spasms, but nothing too serious. I am still numb all the way down the middle of my abdomen and along part of my scar line, but the sensation seems to be returning gradually.
I’m trying to wean myself off my corset/girdle this week. I’ve made it 2 days in a row and I’m feeling ok. I’ll still wear it when I exercise or if I start to swell…which hopefully will be minimal. I am continuing my scar treatment/massage. I switched from Vitamin E oil and Mederma night cream to Bio Oil about 3 weeks ago. My scar is still getting smoother and lighter every week, but I can’t really tell if the products I’m using make a difference. This week, I’m planning to start using Vitamin E oil in the morning and Bio Oil at night.
It hasn’t been a walk in the park, but I am grateful that I’ve had a relatively uneventful recovery, and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my results. I don’t think I could be happier with how my tummy looks!
I’ve started my review on the Breast Augmentation page. I’m scheduled for 03/31/2015 at noon (22 days a counting). I’ll continue to update both pages.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week and a wonderful journey!
