5 day PO scar revision
Day 5 PO and I'm feeling better every day. I haven't taken pain meds since PO day 3. I have some burning sensations now and then but they subside quickly. My incision is also a little itchy at times. I have a lot of swelling in my lower abdomen. Still unable to tell if my incision is any lower because of the swelling. I think the appearance of my belly button has improved. I feel a little like Frankenstein when I see the incision with all of the stitches. My incision did get extended on the sides because the PS stated that was necessary to lower the incision. My one week follow up is in 2 days. I'll try and post an update then. I'm back to work tomorrow.
Quick update
PO scar revision day 3. Feeling much better today. No pain pills needed so far today. I'm up and moving without pain. Can't wait to shower tomorrow. Still no update on the scar as I can't see it under the bandage. Can't tell if the scar is any lower. I'll know more tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Still wearing binder 24/7.
Post op visit
Had my first post op visit the day after my surgery. Meet with PA and she changed my bandages. I was able to see my scar and it looks good so far, nice and thin. My belly button also looks better after the revision. Still to early to see how low the scar is. I have another visit scheduled for next week. And at day 12 my stitches will be removed. I didn't take any pain medicine today because I had to drive myself to the appointment. I was pretty sore and immediately took pain meds as soon as I got home. But the pain I have now doesn't compare to the pain from the original tummy tuck. All and all I feel pretty good and can stand up straight. I did notice that half of my tattoo that was on my lower stomach was cut off during the procedure, but that's ok, just means my scar is hopefully nice and low. Not allowed to shower for three days but once I do I will post pics.
