Tummy Tuck and Lipo of Hips After Weight Loss. Finally!! - South Carolina

I went to my plastic surgeon on wednesday. He said Im still puffy and can expect this swelling to last about 6 months. I mostly have swelling on my hips and my back from the lipo. I got to take my first bath today. FINALLY!!! yeah!!! I need to post some recent pics. I will try to do that tomorrow.

I am 3 weeks post op and I havent had any real pain but I am concerned about what feels like a stitch under my skin right under my incision. it is poking me.I can feel it under my skin it isnt poking out of my skin but you can feel it with your finger. does anyone have this or had this? I hope I didnt mess something up by over doing it. Im so pleased with my belly button and scar they are very nice. Im a little concerned that the sides of my tummy wont be as firm as the center is. when i sit down it is loose but he did lipo on my hips so it could be from the swelling. I plan on asking him on Wed. what he thinks.

Today I am 2 weeks post op and I went in to see the nurse today so that she could remove my stitches from my belly button and trim the loops on my hips. She had to do some tugging and digging to get the stitches out of my belly button but I couldnt feel it because I am so numb. I feel really weird about my results I have a great belly button and awesome scar but I am feeling like my sides and hips are still not as taught as expected. I know I am still very swollen and will continue to swell but this is the hardest part. I have swelling in my back too because He went in there to do some lipo. I guess Im just feeling that horrible impatience that I knew would come. anyway when the swelling goes down I hope the skin isnt loose.I will post another pic soon.
