40YO Mom of Two (both c-sections)- Full TT with Flank Lipo - Memphis, TN

UPDATED FROM Memphismomoftwo
1 month post

7 weeks post op

$8,800
Back to life as usual, less crunches and sit ups. Returned to hot yoga no problem. Worked out with my trainer and did a lot of core work, no problem. I still wear my waist cincher almost all the time and definitely when I exercise. So pleased with my results :)

Wow!! You should be happy, just fantastic!! Hot yoga sounds soooo good.
Thanks ahunny! I started doing hot yoga in January and hated the workout itself but loved how relaxed physically and mentally I was afterward. Now I enjoy the workout and the after effects are icing on the cake. I feel like it really has loosened my ab tightness up a lot!
I know what you mean, I get antsy about half way through, ha! But I do feel good after. I haven't done it since my surgery, but maybe soon.
Your result looks incredible! I'm planning on a TT in a couple months, hope my result will be similar to yours.
Thank you! You'll be thrilled with your results! This has hands down been worth every last bit of pain and downtime I experienced!
Looking amazing! what is hot yoga exactly? What kind of waist cincher do you wear?
It is yoga in a very very hot room. You sweat like crazy and it feels sooo good!
Sounds like my own personal hell on earth! (Look of horror). Nope...I will stick to my granny walks ;).
You got it!!
It's hot, you sweat like crazy, and you get a really deep stretch from your muscles relaxing in the heat. If you hate to sweat, avoid it like the plague!!!
You look great! What type of core workout have you started with?
Thank you! My PS cleared me to do any exercises except crunches and traditional sit ups. So far, I've done Russian twists holding an 8kg kettle bell, plank holds, side planks, flutter kicks, and reverse crunches. No pain during or afterwards but I have noticed some swelling after all of my workouts, and maybe a little more pronounced swelling after core work. Immediately afterward I soak in an Epsom salt bath and I drink a gallon of water a day. I think that's helping :)
You look amazing! You should be ecstatic with your results. So happy for you. I'm just starting my scar treatments, hope mine comes out as great as yours! Do keep us updated with your "hot yoga", sounds like something I may look into to help with ab tightening help
It's definitely worth trying! Really any yoga is good but I've found I like the sweating aspect of hot yoga- I feel like I'm shedding water weight with all that sweat!

Incision Pic at 4 weeks PO

I've been keeping my incision covered all the time using a combo of several things. First I apply a thin coat of Scar Guard. Once it dries, I apply a thin strip of ScarAway silicone scar pads- I cut them very thin to conserve product and all my tape to cover it. Lastly, I cover it all with Nexcare paper tape. I'm finding the tape lasts about 5-7 day before it begins to lift. I can tell my scar has already begun to sit flatter. I've also been wearing the MiracleSuit 2615 in a small. I don't think they make smalls anymore but I recently found and bought one in "nude" color on Amazon. Pic is included!

Looking great girl!!! I am trying to decide what scar treatment I want to do post op. So many choices
Thank you!! I read so many different reviews on scar treatments, so when I went on Amazon, I bought almost everything. That's why I'm using so much. Haha! Honestly, I think just applying a thin layer of Vaseline to the incision and covering it with the tape would be sufficient. That's my plan when all this extra stuff runs out
Your results are absolutely fabulous! How is your vertical scar healing? I can't wait for mine to fade away :-(
Thank you! I'm so incredibly pleased with how everything turned out. I was keeping my scar covered with sensitive paper tape all the time, however I noticed some redness creeping out from under the tape so I removed it. I guess my skin was sensitive to the adhesive. Now I'm covering the scar twice daily with hydrocortisone cream and I only have the raised parts covered with tape. The incision line itself is still red but each week it looks better!

Replies (5)

You look really great - so tiny!!
Thank you! Your turn is very soon!!! How are you feeling? I can assure you for every ounce of pain (both physically and mentally) you experience post-op, you'll find its worth every last bit of it. Just keep your focus on getting to the two week mark. That's the turning point! Best of luck to you :)
Thank you!! :)
You look great!
Thank you! You'll be here soon enough.....can't wait to see your results!!!
You look GREAT! Hopefully after everything is fixed, I'll be able to wear a swimsuit next year or be able to show someone other than RS my results.
Thanks girl! You will be perfect in no time. Dr Q is a great surgeon and she will make you happy. Can't wait to see your results when it's all complete! Keep us updated on what's happening with your correction.
Amazing! You're rocking that bikini! Your waist is so tiny & contoured.
Thanks! I've been wearing my waist cincher 12+ hours a day to "form" the flank lipo. I really think it has helped! My binder at night feels so darn loose after wearing that waist cincher. Did you post you had a Squeem? If so, what do you think about it?
You look great.
Thank you! You do too!!!
