Six months on after abdominal surgery

Well I'm well and truly on my way to being fully healed. The scar is now starting to fade after the open seroma I had at the very beginning. I still have what feels like scar tissue above and below my scar line but with daily massage I'm finding it is getting less every month. I'm happy with my result, my clothes fit way better and I no longer have a muffin top when I wear my skinnies, I'm also looking forward to wearing a bikini in Florida later this year without having to hold my arm across my belly every time I sit down !

Well I'm almost 12 wks po, the scar from my infected, open seroma, took 4wks to heal and close. It is now tiny and almost as flat as the rest of the scar, I will post pics of it once its completely flat so that u can see that what once looked scary and seeping has healed.
A word of advice for anyone with seepage from an incision is to change the dressing regularly, I didn't, as the nurse at my docs advised me to leave the dressing for four days at a time, and it was that that prolonged the healing, the reason for changing the dressing regulay is that the substance that comes from an wound opening is acidic and it dries around the opening and becomes abcessed. Also make sure that u get a wound swabbed to find out what the wound is resistant to, as I was put on two WRONG antibiotics before I got the right one, which then healed the wound in less than a wk !
Here's a pic of me in my underwear to show my results so far....

Wow...great result!!...your scar is lovely and low aswell...it wasnt clear to me before how low it is..it is now. I might go back in a few years after second baby (if im lucky enough) to have a tummy tuck!!...lol...are you very pleased.[RS bleep]

Hi,
Yes I am pleased with the results, my clothes look so much better on me. I like to wear fitted clothes bcus I'm only 5'2 and baggy stuff doesn't suit me, I wud recommend a TT to anyone who's not happy and definitely Dr Vera...
April 10, 2013
Wow you look great! Your scar is fading beautifully. I love how tight you look and how your belly goes in. I feel like my belly is still solid straight because of the swelling some days. I can't wait till mine goes in also. Enjoy!!!!!!

You look amazing.
May 6, 2013
Thank you so much!
I just took a look at your profile and pics, thought you looked pretty ok before your procedure but when I skipped on to your after pics...wow you look amazing. I hope you are fully healed and happy with your body, you look about 25!

Well I'm 26 days po, walking upright and with very little discomfort and virtually no swelling, in fact I've had no swelling at all since my op! My scar is looking great Im so pleased with it, thanks dr Vera!
The only problem was the seroma, I found out that I had taken two courses of antibiotics that were not for skin infections and so were of no use, since the hospital doc changed me to the correct tablets the small wound made a great recovery, I will post a pic of it on thurs wen I get this dressing taken off.

Hey BabyRaf, how you doing? just popping by to say hello. My surgery is in 2 weeks tomorrow...shitting myself..lol...do you think ill need to take all luggage with me to the clinic as ive got to check out of Plaza for two nights...wonder if they have a space where i can store it. Im also worrying about comming home as ill be traveling on my own, hope i can pull my suitcase ok after 6 days....im so scared...just hoping i stay well and so does Vera!!!..lol. DEONNE!!!!! where are you? how you doign love, i want to hear how your boobies are getting on?. xx
February 20, 2013
Hello, hope ur well. I'm doing good. I have an infection (breast). Tbh I'm a little disappointed with them. There's a bit underneath which looks like its sagging. My tummy is still not flat so I'm not happy at all. I just hope it's due to swelling. U only need a little bag for toiletries and maybe some underwear and one outfit to go home in. Also bring a laptop so you can watch movies, books and magazines.
February 20, 2013
Oh no Deonne....do you not think they look good then, i think they do change lots over time boobs..did you just have the Uplift? have you asked Dr Vera what she thinks..? what level of lift did you? oh no im a bit worried now. I thought she did an ace job on HoneyDrop...why you think your results not so good did she not lift enough? have you told BBC direct that your not happy with results..[RS bleep]
February 20, 2013
I don't want to scare you. I mean everyone has good things to say about her I just think I'm an unlucky one but only time will tell. I just had them lifted. The top looks good it's just underneath I don't like.
February 20, 2013
Did you go with the dislovable stitches...what about harmonic scaple...? what did you think to the overall process....did you have very saggy boobs before...mine are terrible...and im having implants removed...xx
February 20, 2013
Ah, i hope they settle down for you...its bloody hard being a woman eh and caring about how we look...this will be the third surgery ive had on my boobs...just want it all done now but i so want to have nice small very pert boobies...did Vera alter the size of your nips? mine are huge and id like them alot smaller....are you been treated for infection ok .xx
February 20, 2013
Hiya!
They have lockable wardrobes in ur room at the clinic so ur stuff is safe while ur in the op, u cud leave stuff at the hotel maybe but prob best to have it in the clinic, I did. Make sure u bring the lightest fabric nighties an clothes so u can fit it all into a sml case an u'll b fine!
Bet u can't wait to get it done hey u must keep us posted on ur progress ..
February 20, 2013
Hi Deonne
Sounds like ur a bit unhappy with things? I'm sure it will all settle... I have only just got rid if my seroma an infection ! I had to hav three diff types of antibiotics an hav it dressed every cpl days an now left with a horrible purple area right I'm the middle if my scar it look like I have two bb's !! I also hav swelling below my scar down to my pubic area..so don't feel too despondent. Did u hav the wound swabbed by the docs to find out which type of antib it is resistant to,it speeds up healing Being on the correct tab an not just any antibiotic. Also did u send pics of ur boobs to Vera via email if h Havnt u shud
March 1, 2013

March 2, 2013

March 6, 2013

March 6, 2013
Hi babyraf, please send me the email address ur able to contact her on. Have you got her number? Hope you had a good time away. Where did u go? R u still wearing ur garment? Is ur tummy swollen? How's it looking now? Mines is going down slowly but surely.

March 6, 2013
can i have her email please aswell....just in case...want as little to do with other lot as possible.xx
March 6, 2013
Hey Deonne...hows ur boobies?...are they taking shape?...did you go for Harmonic or Disolvable?...i am so so scared. How did you find whole airport experience flight after op?...im going on my tod you see...need all advise support i can get...scary stuff. Is there anything you wished ud known?.xxc
March 6, 2013
Hi ive just returned had my boob uplift plus implants on Thursday. If Vera is your surgeon she doesnt use harmonic scalpel anyway but does encourage dissolvable stitches if your not staying there over 10 days.
I told Vera what I thought of Nick and also told her id read on this website others are of a similar view.
Take all tops with buttons or zips and easy to put on bottoms.
Also take extra painkillers for after (non inflammatory)
Book all taxis through AAA cars as hotel cars are 3x price!
Hope this helpsx x
March 6, 2013
My friend had eyelids done at same time as boobies by Vera and so glad she did as they didn't hurt at all. You just need to get a nurse in uk to take out stitches and remember to takecur sunglasses!! Goodluck
March 6, 2013
ah wow thanks love for this...what did you think of her work?..are u home now?.ill be out there for 6 nights..returning on tuesday. So she doesnt use scaple then?...im dead scared coz on me own...hope she does a good job..[RS bleep]
April 12, 2013

April 12, 2013
Yes is was meant for u. Hope ur well. I'm not happy with my results and it still hasn't changed in any shape or form. My tummy isn't 100% flat and there aftercare is [RS bleep]. I'm so pissed off. I complained to them and they responded I shud lose weight for it to be completely flat. I'm only 13 stone and I'm 5ft 10. So I'm hardly over weight lol
April 12, 2013
Oh no....sorry to hear that love...are they going to do anything about it?...cheeky about weight thats not cool!!...what about boobs?..thats where i have my issue..not happy wiv nips and scar placement and ive got a distorted boob...i know early dayd but your much further on than me....did you PM vera without having to go through you know who..i havent got that far yet.xx
April 13, 2013

April 13, 2013
