During both pregnancies I gained between 13-15 kg, all to my stomach, which was great and not-so-great... As it essentially meant my belly was soooo stretched out, especially the belly button area as my bump was exceedingly pointy for both pregnancies!

I've thought long and hard about getting a tummy tuck done... I am really self-conscious about the way my belly looks, and constantly looking for long tops and high waisted skirts/pants to avoid accidentally exposing the alien-looking, wrinkled belly! (Otherwise I pretty much live in dresses.)

Have gone for consultations with 3 surgeons here in Singapore, the first two were nice but did not give me much confidence... They basically seemed to react as though my case was rather unique in that I had a really excessive amount of wrinkled skin all concentrated round the belly button, and minimal fat. One suggested that removal of a kind of clover-shaped piece of skin around the belly button, that would leave me with a large inverted T-shaped scar. Dr F on the other hand said he would be able to give me a low, c-sect like scar, and restore my belly button by detaching the loose skin and pulling everything vertically together before creating a new belly button.

Am expecting to stay in hospital for 2-3 days, and be out of action for about 2 weeks post-op. Will share more subsequently!

Post-Op Care- Advice please?

This is the abdominal binder I used previously after the births of my 2 kids, I'm just wondering if I can use this post tummy tuck? Or is this too short? Any advice on post-TT care would be much appreciated, thanks!

TT with muscle repair today!

Wheeled into OT at 10am, markings drawn and put under GA.

Woke up feeling awful around 12 noon, took about 2 hours for the grogginess to dissipate. Have drains running on each side. Feel like my entire midsection has been pummeled into a pulp.

The pain slowly eased as the day progressed and I drifted in and out of sleep, but when I sat up for dinner around 6pm, I started feeling giddy and nauseous.

Was able to get up and stumble about my room in the evening. Accidentally coughed, and man did that hurt! Sharp, searing pain in my side.

Snuck a peek at my tummy, am pleased! Smooth and wrinkly free at last! Also rubbed on some ginger cream, which kinda soothes the discomfort (warm sensation, like muscle rub) and also helps with bloating.
