Hi All,
It's been a bit since I've posted photos so here I go and although I'm not where I feel I should be in the (feel good scale) it looks as if I'm healing as fast as some of the other 60+ TT community members on this site...so glad I have you all, seriously this weekend was brutal, after being in the hot sun I thought I was going to explode with swelling.....the pain is mostly in my back in fact I even bought a new bed hoping it will help with my back issues..I've never had lower back problems until TT so I'm hoping it just temporary as I get used to my new posture...any way because I'm on the thin side only 122 lbs I think the swelling just shows more any little bulge at all makes me look preganant...so there is a downside for being thin...argh...I'm still wearing compression even though my DR. Said I didn't need to, it just feels better especially in the evenings.one thing I have learned is I have to listen to my body, there is almost always a reason I'm in pain and then I try not to repeat the same activities.that put me in discomfort, so for the time being Im healing but ..."very little by slow,ly"....guess that's ok just for today.????

2 1/2 months PO tummy tuck
Hi friends
here are a few photos of my scar and my swelling there is also a photo of the life of on my leg.... One thing I'm worried about is that the lump won't go away and that there is skin discoloration... It looks like bruises... Has anybody experience this kind of skin change? I also got quite a few spider veins , I had no idea that veins woukd just pop out. Ugh ... It's like one thing leads to another got me a little discouraged...I'm going to get the veins fixed in about a month along with a few varicose veins I still have quite a bit of swelling on my lower part of my abdomen but week by week it seems to be getting a little better. I will have three good days where I have lots of energy and one day when I'm wiped I sure hope this is normal... One other thing I'd like to mention is that I get horrible backaches when I sit or Lay down Has anyone experienced that? also I'd like to know if anyone has a difficult time knowing how to posture their body...

I think anything and everything is possible! Lipo on your legs gets better as time goes by! I did a TT, lipo, bA, and lift this past January!
I can tell you swelling is normal for the first 6 months to a year! If you work out, then the swelling is even worse, then goes back down. Lipo on the legs takes time to heal! However I call it, "The gift that keeps giving!"
I look at myself now now several times a day because I want perfection now!!!! Then I realize it just takes a long time!!
You look amazing!!!!!!
Be kind to yourself and enjoy your journey

I can understand you not feeling too good about the look of your legs in the photos. My legs have those lumps and bumps now but aren't as slim. I have never had lipo or surgery so don't know if this is normal but it is still early days. Most of the journeys I have read say you may not see the final results until 6 or even 12 months. Keep wearing your compression garments and with time they will look better.

I will keep wearing my garments and I just pray they will return to more normal looking ... Thank you for the encouragement

Don't forget lighting also makes a huge difference. I am sure they will smooth out with time. Looking forward to seeing the final results.

Mine were like that the first time I had it done. So I went to another Dr. 3 years later and the had to do a thigh lift and that took care of the problem.I am 55 years old.
