5 months post op - not sure where the time has gone.... There has not been one moment where I have regretted doing this. My tummy just keeps getting better by the day. I am still working out like a demon and is really showing. Theres still a few lb's to go but my body fat measurements are going down. I feel I am back upto pre twins strength and feel great. I have my 6 month check next month and my ps will give me a disc with all the pictures he has taken over the last 6 months so that will be interesting to see. I got my lovely husband to take photos so they are more clear than the ones I took myself.

Thanks Sandra! Just checked you out and I think you look fabulous already so just think what you will look like after your tummy tuck ;-) I noticed you have had tattoo removal, I would like to have one removed too. Mine is a black panther on my left shoulder blade. I had it when I was 18 and now I regret it big time!

You look amazing!! You can totally see some definition coming through!! Great results twinmummy!

Wow you look amazing. Reading about your experience with the hematoma scared me a bit but looking at your before and after pics makes me want to get the TT even more than ever. I could only hope to have such great results!

Are you able to give more info about the doc?

4 months post op as of tomorrow and life is back to normal. I have been working out five days a week for the last month and a half. I've lost 6lbs so far and would like to loose another 10 before summer. The swelling is much better but still not gone completely, it's mostly just above my incision, and a little around my belly button. My scar is still very red and haven't been to good about massaging it but try to do it every night in the hope it will help with my swelling. Will try to post a couple of pics I took today.

Thanks Bella! I am so happy about the appearance of my bb. I wanted to be rebellious and get it pierced but my husband won't let me :-( he said I am too old!!! You look amazing! You can see your abs, I am working on mine still!
January 22, 2012
I was thinking of getting mine pierced soon too, while it's still numb ;-) I have a small scar on the top of my BB that you can really see that could be hidden if I had it pierced. Not sure what to do though. I almost feel like I'm too old too lol!! But I don't think we are and I just might go for it. Need to see what my PS says. Not sure if I have to heal more or not.....

Thank you cc115, before my surgery this was my second biggest concern about having a natural bb. I don't think he could of done a better job! Just checked your pics out, think your bb looks like mine!
January 21, 2012
My stomach looks a lot like your before pictures and after seeing how great you look at only 4 months post op, I think I may have to go see your doc soon:) I've seen a lot of fake looking belly buttons on here but yours looks totally natural. Congrats! You look awesome!

Hi Elizabeth,Good to hear from you! I am more than pleased with my results, Dr Hsu rocks!!! You have to go see him! I know what you mean about fake looking bb they are a dead give away you have had a tummy tuck. The last couple of months have gone so fast and I have been working out like a crazy person so I think that has helped too. Let me know when you see him, he really is the best!

You look amazing with an awesome hourglass shape and very natural looking BB ( can't even see the scar-where is it?) congrats on a successful surgery:)

Thanks Suzy! I am so pleased with my results, my ps did a wonderful job on my tummy, I couldn't have asked for anything better! Combined with my daily workouts it gets better and better.

Do you have a scar around your belly button at all? I can't even see anything in your 4 week pic - your surgeon was really really good. You look amazing at the 4 weeks but your workouts have you looking even better. Sideways you are so tiny it's so hard to believe you had 4 children. Front view great hourglass shape. You've got the body of a 20 year old :)

Not posted for a while as nothing new, after my hematoma was removed I rested up for a couple of days. My scar looks exactly the same as before. The swelling on the right side has gone considerably and the left a little more. I am now nearly 5 weeks post op from the original surgery and feeling back to normal! Cannot wait to get back to the gym, I love to spin and body pump. Still swollen in the hips but my waist is a heck of a lot smaller than it used to be. I still have tape on my scar so no scar treatment yet but have decided to go with mederma based on my ps recommendation. Posting pics

So glad that you are doing well ;-) You look great! I won't get to take pics and see my belly until Sunday but I'm so excited. Hope it looks as good as yours! I am so impatient but I am following the doctors orders. Wanted to ask you what were your symptoms for the hematoma?
User Avatar
October 21, 2011
Yes, follow Dr's orders and you will do just great! My symptoms for the hematoma were massive swelling, heat and a heavy feeling. You will know for sure that something is wrong if you get one of these. My PS told me 1 in 10 tummy tuckers gets one but I never heard of a hematoma until I got one. Just unlucky I guess!
October 21, 2011
Good to know ;-) Did you ever have any tingling around your incision site during your recover? I am only one day post-op and I'm having a tingling sensation on my incision site. Didn't know if that was normal or not?

I didnt feel a thing throughout my whole recovery. I think the Doctor numbed so much it lasted for days! What I have heard though it is completely normal what you are feeling, think its more of a good sign that you are healing.

Look at that hourglass shape!!! You look fabulous ;-)
