Day of surgery pics
Okay I found these few pictures taken the day of the surgery after I had come to. I really wanted to see what things looked like underneath the coverings so I managed to take a peak. This is what things looked like...
Started Silicone Treatment
Today I went to see Dr. B and the corner stitches were really bothering. The skin wants to close but the stitches were in the way so the skin was getting a little irritated. I called the office at 9: 30 am and as always they were super especially Christina who is Dr. B's receptionist. She told me to come in and they would clip the stitches for me. By 10:30 am I was in their office, they took me right in and the stitches had not dissolved fast enough so they did clip them for me.
Everything is healing very nicely, no separation but there is still some natural swelling. I'm still wearing the binder and I'm massaging the scar and my tummy to help reduce the swelling. I have also been very curios as to how much skin was cut and I really wanted to see what it looked like. So, here it is! This was enough to make me think twice about putting bad food in my mouth again. I'm tempted to put this up in my refrigerator as a reminder to never eat garbage again.
This has been an amazing experience and I'm so thankful that I chose Dr. B. So far zero complications and this has forever changed my life for the better. The only thing I have to do next is work on my patience. I wish the swelling went down faster but it will take several months.

Provider Review
Going back to Dr. Buenaventura for my Tummy Tuck and Lipo of the hips. She will also be repairing a hernia in the process. My first surgery with her was explanting with a breast lift which went more than fantastic. She is also the Chief Plastic Surgeon at INOVA in Alexandria, VA; so she is best of the best. She has been named one of the top PS in the USA multiple times and I can say that her skills are second to none. Therefore, I know I am in the right hands for my Tummy Tuck and Lipo. Her staff is also very caring and have always taken great care of me.
