So!!! I was not crazy or delusional.... went for my check up. And I have to have a revision TT and lipo. The area above my belly button indeed is not swollen. After he said the revision would be needed... Honestly, I checked out. At the end of the day.. I'm responsible for the OR, anesthesiologist and assistant. I discussed it with the hubby.. he isn't happy but of course supportive. I'm thinking right after the New Year. I'm not in a rush to revisit that damn pain. I will keep you posted

Ty!! It feels weird without the binder. And I've noticed that I swell more when I don't wear it. For the most part, I wear my waist trainer during the day and I put on the binder at night

This was the best decision ever. IMO the liposuction is more painful than the recovery from the tummy tuck. Really have to be patient with the recovery, the swelling is the devil. Each day is different. Really need to allow yourself ample time to heal. Lol!! 8 weeks post and Very satisfied!!! Can't wait until the swelling stops!!

I'm 5 weeks post and swollen around the hips. It still feels bruised but I have had next to no bruising.
Sometimes I feel my top abs really hurts and are swollen. Do you have this discomfort?
My binder causes more discomfort squishing my skin than the actual surgery. I still wear it all the time, I feel less bloated all around when I'm wearing it. Is this the same for you?
With summer nearing I really wanted to feel my swelling was less than it is, I am swollen 2-3 inches around the hips and an inch the rest of the way up.
It would be great if you had an update picture to compare mine to you with.

Absolutely. That is where I'm swollen the most. Now I only wear my binder to bed. And my waist trainer during the day. My hips are still swollen and at the ends of incision there is discomfort sometimes. I will try to remember to get a picture and update it
