Make sure to take pics to see your progress not necessarily to share but so you can see for yourself it can take a while for the swelling to go down.

Was the Burn from the Dr or heating pad. Show us updates now. I was burned on both of my sides.

Both but upon talking to another surgeon he told me it was one separation so it was both the burn and then The one separation from the lower part of the tummy tuck
