I'm almost at the 6 month point but am very happy with result no pain and I have been working out using the muscles quite a bit. I love the results and want to drop a couple pounds which I think will really help my shape. Scar position is very nice I bought a bikini and you can't even see the scar.

Saw the surgeon
GreenmommaFebruary 8, 2014
So today was a 6 week appt. little longer than 6 weeks though. Everything is healing up nice and looking good. Dr was happy he noticed the belly button was a little off but wasn't sure another surgery would make it any better. I tend to agree with this it's like cutting your hair trying to make it even. He did say to give it more time for healing. I figured this I am very happy with the results. So much so that I'm thinking about getting an augmentation. I'll post some pictures. I do notice I still have some pain nothing that can't be managed with Tylenol. And the more I do the worse it is so I need to remind myself to take it easy still.

I noticed early on thing looked a bit wonky at times too. I found that a lot of that was swelling. I'm just now feeling that I am truly seeing a significant decrease in swelling at almost 5 months. The scar is in a completely different place from the peak of swelling. And I thought my bb was always going to be deep at an upwards angle. But its not. Just takes a good while to all line out! I love your results!

Thank you so much for posting your journey! I am going in for a consult with Dr Thomson in the next few weeks here. I am looking at a tummy tuck and possibly breast augmentation. Quite nervous about the whole thing, seeing as how I don't know much about this surgeon, so it's super great to know about your experience and great results!

I have to say I'm very happy with dr Thomsons work. I did a consult for breast augmentation too because of how happy I have been with my tummy tuck but will hold off on that for now.

How are you doing? How's the healing/scars? Are you using any special creams?

Burning sensation
GreenmommaJanuary 9, 2014
Ok all day I have had a burning sensation in my tummy from what I have read this is normal just the nerves healing. It is driving me crazy. It makes me want to lie in bed and do nothing. So for all my bragging about little pain I'm feeling it now. I added some pictures. I would have liked a straighter scar but my ps explained that to remove all excess skin I would need the vertical incision so to get off as much as possible the scar wasn't as straight and he did warn me before the operation that that may happen. He was very forward with explaining stuff like that. Hopefully I can do some scar therapy and it's not noticeable. As well I thinking waiting longer to see how it heals will make a difference.

Your scar may straighten out a little. Mine looked a little asymmetrical for a little with the uneven swelling. Even if it doesn't move which I'm sure it will, it looks like he did a good job. I told mine I wasnt too concerned with the placement and most important to me was optimizing the results.

Thanks for saying that I already noticed it has straightened out some so it's good to know it can straighten out more with healing

Really? That's the one thing I've been iffy about. I don't hate it but I don't love it hoping that it changes up a bit as it heals
