Day 7 Post Op

WORTH IT$8,405
So I am definitely feeling better and my stomach is very flat especially considering what I started with., however I am very that 1. My fleur de lis incision and belly button seem to be very crooked and 2. My belly button seems to be pretty low.

Overall my waist feels like it is twisted
Question my PS about my incision and belly button being very crooked and he says it is due to swelling. Although he did say it may stay that way. This is very concerning as it seems to be off center. I have mentioned the fact that I think my belly button is low as of yet, but I plan to on Friday at my next pre op.

All done

Had my extended tummy tuck with Fleur de lis on Monday, May 18th with Dr. Alkon.

Day of surgery everything moved along beautifully. I arrived at the hospital at 6am as instructed and by 4:45 pm I was on my way home.
