These pictures were today at 11pm November 16 after an active day I'm unsure if what I'm seeing is normal for a successful tummy tuck. My upper abs are good but my lower portion is not flat and never has been. Seems like I need more Lipo or something...not sure but I know I should be totally flat by now or at least I thought I should be. I see my PS next month although now I'm thinking I should call and schedule an appointment sooner. This just doesn't seem normal. Also, I hate that my scar includes my old belly button. My PS is supposed to do something to it at my appointment but I'm not sure. I'm hoping he decides to do more Lipo and revise my scar. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm interested to see what your PS has to say and if the cortisone injections you mentioned previously will help.

He said he doesn't want to do the injections which is odd since he's the one who mentioned that as an option. He said the injections lighten the skin around the area so he said he'll need to cut and resuture the incision to make it flatter.

Even around the BB? What about the old BB remnant? Is this under local anesthesia? Does the same post-op protocol apply for the revision?

I just read your entire diary! You are so sweet and you really do look fantastic! Just think as soon as you get your incision just like you want it, this journey will be over for you and you can completely enjoy your results and only look forward! Happy for you!

I just realized the pics didn't upload earlier...

What I didn't say earlier is that I'm feeling much better after my appointment today. I'm praying that I'll really see a large reduction in swelling by month 6 but I realize, I may not totally see the swelling gone until around month 12.

Scar thickening

simplyuncomplicatedApril 19, 2016
Wanted to post a quick update. I just left an appointment w my PS...he said my scar is not forming a keloid he said it's just thickening. He said we'll monitor for a month and will do a cortisone (sp?) shot if it doesn't improve or gets worse. He gave me a new silicone sheet to try. We'll see. Fingers crossed.

Intermediate Pain is normal...my current swelling is also normal
