Tummy Tuck After Many Pregnancies Deep Stretch Marks Appendectomy Scar - Pittsburgh, PA

All healed! Only discomfort is tightness above belly button, for about four inches. I keep brown tape on. The binder and I have decided we're better off seeing other people, but Spanx undies work great. Miss the gym :-( .This has really been life changing for me. Pre surgery pants size 8/10, post op 2/4. And just bought my first ever bikini. My scar is so thin, in person it's barely noticeable, but for some reason photos make it look worse. Lighting maybe. Plus I am pale as pale can be, need some sun! I cannot recommend this surgery enough. First 2/3 weeks just suck, not gonna lie. But ever so worth it! I guess the key is choosing an excellent surgeon and following his directions. Good luck to all!

Belly button healing nicely. Incision healing quickly, so I feel much more confident moving around. Not totally secure with sleeping on my sides yet, but I can't wait. The swelling gets me down some days, but I'm sure it gets better as time goes by. Taking bunches of before and after pics really help to remember how bad it looked before, and how much better it looks despite the swelling. Have moments of incision itchiness, but nothing a little Benadryl doesn't fix. Fixing one body part, dies however, bring other flaws to light lol. I see why plastic surgery can become addictive. Still best decision ever.

Neosporin should help soon and the redness is getting better.
