Scar revision over a month later...
Scar revision advisory...
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.
Resting and sore after scar revision...
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.
Provider Review
I've done a lot of research on all the different tummy tuck techniques and Doctor's in the Seattle metro area on my own because this is a huge deal for me emotionally and physically and I want to get this right! I felt like the more I can learn and know about this precedure the better decisions I will be able to make. When I went to my consult with Dr. Grenley. He pulled out a pen and paper and drew out all of the different scenarios and techniques he would use. As an artist he was speaking my language. He even showed me techniques that other Dr's use and why he doesn't practice those techniques. I feel like I was sitting in an insightful TT 101 class. Prior to this consultation I had questions about, c-section scars, belly button holes, diastisis recti, skin laxity...he answered every question before I needed to ask. That afternoon I received a personal call from his patient coordinator Leslie the next day to see if I had questions. Then a handwritten note arrived in the mail from Dr.Grenley thanking me. I was sold on his talent, knowledge and the professionalism of his staff. On the day of surgery, everyone was comforting and kind. Dr. Grenley was calm, strait forward and all business. The anesthesiologist was energetic, positive, funny and capable, My nurse Eileen was amazingly kind, reassuring and comforting. She was very motherly to me, held my hand while I fell asleep, she helped me to my car with a stack of saltine crackers, a can of ginger ale w/a straw and a warm blanket she said I could return later. I had to hug her :) I could not have had a better experience. post op review to come...
