Scar after four weeks
WORTH IT$7,300
I wanted to show my scars and because, I was scared of doing the tummy tuck and didn't want to look like Frankenstein afterwards. And I am impressed and happy with my scar that I think it's going to heal nicely. ( hopefully ). And it seems a little darker in pics but not so bad. And swollen and bruised still and pics were taken in the evening after being on my feet all day. Aswell

Evening pics after being on my feet allday
I thought I would take some pics before I get into bed. After been doing chores thru out the house running errands getting ready for school to start so out shopping with 3 boys . But evening is when I hurt the most and feel swollen the most after not relaxing. It's a go, go, and still just almost four weeks

4 weeks after full tummy tuck with waist lipo
Ok I had no pain the first 2 1/2 weeks but now I am feeling pain. It's more like spontaneous needle poking sharp pains. Soreness all over my tummy, I feel like I've been beat, punched,kicked all over my tummy from lipo and tummy tuck. I tell my husband at the end of the day after being on my feet or just doing too much or on my feet to much I will notice I will be in my most pain in the evening. My swelling is at it's most in the evening as well. I am still using my compression garment as well. I still have a lot of swelling and inside bruising although you might not be able to see it on the pics. But here is updated pics

Your transformation is awesome! You should be proud. Thank you for the update. It looks like a vertical scar under your belly button. Is it? If so, what was the reason for it? I don't see a scar in your befores.

I Asked my doctor on that and she said it was where my belly button used to be. I thought they normally cut a hole and pull the belly button thru it. And avoid making anymore cutting than needed. But every surgeon is different and have their own method of doing procedures. And u can barely see it that I am sure it will heal well and blend. I sometimes feel like I am not gonna get the results that I am wanting but gotta be patient. There is days that I look bigger than others.

I am hoping I don't need to have a vertical scar. I am thinking the skin from the belly button down has to go on me. I have been worried about what will happen with my belly button. It will be nice to have one that doesn't frown. So she stitched it shut and that is the line? I'm thinking you probably will drop in clothing sizes when your swelling goes down. You really do look so good, much smaller too. My first consult is Aug 25th and last is on Aug 28. I just want them out of the way so I can book my dang surgery! So excited to get rid of my flap.

Like I said you can't really tell. I think I am going to take photos in the evening so people can see the difference between morning pics after a shower and compare to a evening after being on your feet from just daily housework and running errands with four kids and stay at home mom. I swell a lot and feel like not much has been taken off. Lol
