Belly button revision?
Hi ladies! I'm almost 6 mo post op. I love my results! No complaints except my belly button. I like the shape, but the scar is on the outside and is red an pronounced. I see my ps in 2 weeks for a follow up. Think I should ask about a revision, or should I wait a year in case it lightens, etc... any thoughts are appreciated.
Almost 8 weeks!
Wow! I can't believe I've finally made it to this point! As of next week, PS says I can burn the spanx!!! So very very happy! Still swell by end of day, so I'll keep one, it's a love/hate thing... swelling is definitely getting much better! It's there, but no where near as uncomfortable. I'm back at the gym, THANK GOD! I didn't realize how much I relied on the gym to relieve stress! I'm not doing what I used to yet, but at least I'm there! Onward and upward!
One month anniversary!
Looking back ... for you ladies out there who are considering this, here's a quick synapses of the last month and for those of you who've already done it, I think you will relate.
Week one was all about initial recovery and immediate and basic needs: Staying on top of meds, trying to sleep, trying to poop, trying not to freak out about what I had just done to my body, trying to get up and move without hurting myself, watching a whole lot of tv, staying hydrated.
Week two was all about emotion. I swear I cried on and off that whole week, can't even tell you about what! I think all the pent up anxiety and exhaustion just let loose. Which is interesting since I had also hit some milestones. I was moving a little more, I was off pain meds and antibiotics, no more constipation, and generally starting to feel better.
Week three marked the beginning of some normalcy. I was finally starting to relax and enjoy my results. I took some photos and really enjoyed comparing the before and after. At the end of week three I went back to work and doing more around my house. Which brings me to..
Week four which is first and foremost about swelling. Stand up, swell, sit down, swell, etc... (sung to "swimming pools") Don't judge, I have teenage boys, ha! It seems there's no escaping the swell hell! At the same time week four has its pluses. , On the outside things have made a drastic improvement. My TT incision is looking great and all healed, except for some scabbing in the tightest area above my mons. The line is thin and low and I can really start to see that it's going to be a very minor scar when all is said and done. I can truly see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's beautiful and bright! My right breast is still giving me trouble with some wound separation, but this too shall pass. Best thing about this past week, the big O! Even though I scared myself after wondering if had pushed it too soon, my wonderful RS friends reassured me and I was fine!
I'm looking forward to the next four weeks and the milestones that will come. Especially, sleeping without the CG and eventually not wearing one at all! When that time comes I will burn every single one in my outdoor fire pit!! Although right now they are both my best friend and worst enemy... I am also looking forward to getting back into my gym routine! I really really miss it!
All in all it's been quite the journey so far! I can't believe I really did it! I'm proud of myself and so very grateful! Onward and upward!

Provider Review
Dr. Jones was not only professional and knowledgeable in his field, but also reassuring and confident. He was able to alleviate any concerns I had about the procedure and answer any questions patiently and thoroughly. In fact the entire staff at Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery is impressive. Equally important, I love the results! I highly recommend Dr. Jones!
