Abdominoplasty with Muscle repair

Had my scar revision just over a month ago and it heeled well and feels great! I am still wearing the silicone tape daily to keep the new scar in check. I will update later and give the side by sides between pre-revision, post, and months later.

I think it's important for me to say why I decided to do a scar revision.
a) I scar pretty well. Before my procedure I had a pretty substantial C-section scar from my first child. It was below the pubic hair line. It was a keloid scar initially and after over a decade healed flat and almost completely disappeared so i know eventually my scars will heal pretty well over time. This original scar was removed when I had my TT and i now have a longer thinner scar in it's place.
b) This technique is better. I went into this surgery knowing I would have a small vertical and visible scar where my navel was. Many Dr's do a TT by pulling the skin down and removing the old navel hole completely which sometimes results in a higher horizontal scar that is visible above many panties or bikini bottoms. I prefer the long scar to be well below my panty line and only having a small vertical scar visible. I think that it is a better technique.
c) I wanted quicker results. My scar, while visible above the panty line was small and getting better. Although I could have waited it out. I believe having a small inexpensive revision would have a better result. Dr Grenley gave me a great deal. I trust his work and his opinion. He clearly explained that the best that could happen would be an improved scar and the worst that could happen would be no improvement what-so-ever. I signed on knowing that.

I currently have stitches under the skin that will dissolve and medical tape covering everything. I go in to get my tape changes this Friday. I will try to post pix then. This is what the tape looks like now. This is from day two so the blood is fresh in this pic but dried up now. But you get the idea. He fixed my vertical old navel scar and part if the horizontal scar.

So this is before going in for the revision. I only planned to have this visible scar fixed. But once I was on the table Dr Grenley offered to do this one and my vertical scar below my panty line too! Wow. Thank you! The nurse was sweet and friendly and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My scar revision took about an hr. I was awake the whole time and we talked and joked. I will say the sounds of the tools and the pulling/pricking was pretty creepy feeling. I was shaky afterwords from being tense throughout the procedure. But it was mostly pain free.
Well now Im home covered in gauze on some pain pills and feeling sore. Im so happy he was kind enough to offer to do the other scar for free. I continue to be impressed with him. Can't wait to see my results.
