Wow, can't believe I'm 12 weeks post op already! I'm healing nicely and still undergoing the BioCorneum scar treatment to minimize the appearance of my scars. Not really concerned about the TT incision as I remember from my c-section it will take time for the scar to lighten up. My stomach is still quite numb in a few areas but this will diminish in time. I wear a compression garment throughout the day (Spanx) which helps with the abdominal tightness that flares up occasionally. I couldn't wait to get out of the binder early on but it's a lifesaver, especially at night. Even at 12 weeks post-op, I can't sleep without it. Lol, it helps with making my waist look extra tiny in the morning too :)
My breast lift scars are healing well but I still have quite a bit of scar tissue that formed around the outside of my areola. I've been told that this to will take some time to heal. I underwent an inverted t-lift procedure so the scars are pretty extensive but I love the way my breast look with/without a bra. :)

Because I'm HAPPY!

Almost six weeks post op and I'm beyond thrilled with my results! Began using biocorneum two weeks ago and my scars are progressively healing. Quite a bit of swelling, specifically in the afternoon but nothing too unbearable. As much as I hate the abdominal binder it's been a lifesaver for swell hell days...

When do scabs fall off?

Understanding that everyone heals differently, please share your experience with TT and/or BL/BA scabbing.
Wednesday I will be 3 weeks PO but I have a considerable amount of scabs on my TT incision, around my areola, and underneath my breast (underwent an inverted T lift).
Today was the 1st day since surgery I've taken a full frontal shower and my scabs did loosen up quite a bit from the water and fall off. I'm hoping this is all that's needed for these scabs to fall off but I will be interested in hearing your experiences.

I met Dr. Basu via consultation three years ago and knew he would be the doctor to perform my procedure. I pushed my dates back a couple of times (and paid the $500 rescheduling fee) because the time was never right for me. Dr. Basu is very knowledgeable and has a great level of patience as I had every question imaginable. The day of my surgery, I was his only patient for the day and received his undivided attention. His staff is very accommodating and patient friendly. Sasha was my nurse and she was absolutely AWEsome! I'm a bit of a worry wart, especially when it comes to my body and she was always responsive, reassuring and extremely sweet! Understanding that I was nervous about my healing, she was always available, day or night to answer my questions. She was an absolute gem throughout my entire recovery process. In comparison to other doctor's the area, Dr. Basu is a bit on the pricier side but you get what you pay for and I'm extremely happy with my final results. I don't anticipate having any future procedures, as extensive as a MM, but if I do, Dr. Basu is my PS of choice!
