It healed nicely. You did a great job with wound care. Ortega does a great job on scar revision.

Progression of my closed wound

Well everything is healing up progressively good I'm getting a lot of tightness and I think that's because my scar tissues like shrinking got a little bit of puckering in the frame but I'm going to the gym trying to lose this weight and I hope that it subsides keeping it slow and steady with the gym I am supposed to go to Vegas in May so I hope this the swelling and all that subsides made a decision on waiting until next year to go back to Dr. ortega for liposuction and possibly scar version

Wtf I have another stitch abcess this is making me mad it's already bad enough I have to prolong my healing but I'm debating if I want to go to Ortega to get this fix I don't think it's worth it I'm truly bummed out

Hey girl, I just read your story! So all of this was from a heating pad burn? That's crazy!! You've healed up really good! I had a mommy makeover with Ortega and need everything revised! It wasn't anything from his doings or mine, I just ended up being that small percentage lol. Well good luck on your revision, whether you go with Ortega or not! :D
I think it was both surture srepration and a heating pad
So sorry you are feeling this way you have overcome so much this too will get better.
Sorry you are going through so much. I definitely understand I got a staph infection and a Seroma. So how is everything now
That sux are u healing process now ?
Very slow healing process and PS talking about possible revision. I am really swollen right now and it's hard to exercise still have pain on some spots
Prayer big for you sista! I'm so sorry about your experience and am thankful you didn't get infection along with the burn. Your positive spirit and optimism shows through your writing. And you look beautiful! Keep smiling.
Thank you
