Low incision-healing well. I haven't started my scar therapy. I still wear faja and binder. Everyone at work say I look like I've been losing weight. Which I have. A total of 10lbs. Some ask why my booty looks bigger. Well, I just it's called working out. In reality I don't have a double butt (one in the front and one in the back). So it is more noted.

So I scheduled a follow-up for 2 months post op. I must say everything looks pretty good but just wanted to see if he has other recommendations for my healing. Will post 5 week update pic tomorrow.

That's great. Times flying. You seem to be recovering great. I was hoping for an update. Was wondering how you are. I changed my user name. But I'm the one from outside Chicago. I'm scheduled for June. Your story & results helped me decide on Ortega. Ty!

Hello. Your surgeon site is healing so well. I tried to get a consult in Feb. When I visited Fl. As I'm from NY also. However, I never got an answer. Are you going to revisit for followup or do you follow up with your current physician? Also, is it just bacitracin that you use on your scar?

Hey. Yes i recommend you jeep calling. I promise once you pass the coordination part, the surgeon, Dr. Ortega is great. I will follow up with him directly since I will be in town for other stuff. I stopped using bacitracin and now I'm using Aquaphor since it healed and will soon start the Embrace scar therapy.
