9 Week pictures. Had Dr visit at 8 weeks still need to take it slowish. Still don't feel well enough to walk very far or even get back to the gym. Muscle tissue on abs still hard in places, one side more swollen than other side and there is still some bruising! Dr. Said all normal. I like the results in morning but they disappear after swelling starts usually within about 30mins. Pics all taken in the morning.

I keep trying to remind myself that what I see in the morning is what my end result will look like because eventually the swelling goes away. I look forward to your updated pictures!

When adding updates my photos upload onto the page but not in the little photo box where they are supposed to and therefore unable to post. Are you able to help with this problem? Thanks

Swelling has definitely resided over the last few weeks. There is definitely still some but making Headway at least. Loving how the surgery turned out so far and hoping it will continue to get better as the weeks, months and years go by. The swelling within a day started to get way better after I stopped wearing my binder. I think it really prevented the swelling from draining out. I do still wear it when I'm up and about for long periods of time but feel it really helps to take it off and let the juices flow where they need to. This may not be the case for everyone I just found that it worked for me with my type of swelling. I never realized how good my new breasts would make me feel. Its just so nice to fit clothes better. 100% worth it!

Hi there sweetie. You definitely look a lot less swollen. I guess everyone does respond differently. As the days progressed the swelling went down. But I was flat right away. I had to wear garments and an ab board for the flatness. You’re looking better though

4 weeks post op

Had 2nd post op appointment. Surgeon said swelling is inside the abdominal wall there is not really that much fluid. Said everything looks good and to ease up on the compression garment changing to a spanx. Decided not to do scar treatment. I just don't see the point of spending the money when I might not scar that bad. If in the end the scarring is bad I'll have something done.

Oh my gosh! That dr needs their ass whipped! When I got my tummy tuck! It was immediate results with my stomach flat! The day of surgery! You need a post op Faja! That spanx thing isn’t going to work! I’m so upset at the Dr! Go to the Dominican Republic for your next surgery to get snatched!

Where did you go?!!! I didn’t even read everything because I just focused on your pictures! How the hell is it a tummy tuck and you still have a gut that looks like your 5 months pregnant?? And they are telling you NOT to wear your garment? That’s how the swelling goes down. And you need lymphatic drainage massages..

Wow flat right after! You must be one of the lucky ones. Yes my swelling and bruising has been pretty bad people must respond differently after surgery. Because my swelling is not between skin and and muscle and is inside the abdmoninal muscle itself the compression is preventing it from draining (squeezing too tight). My swelling has actually improved a lot since I took it off and let things flow plus I am able to feel and engauge my core a lot better. I am surprised too as I fully expected to be wearing compression for 6 to 8 weeks 24/7! If I'm on my feet for a long time I put it on. I tried lymphatic but I couldn't tell much of a difference prob cause the swelling is so deep. I can't wait to be flat am tired of looking preg. I will get there just have to be patient. Thanks for your comment.
