Muscle Repair Worries
Ok I'm hoping you ladies that had muscle repair with your tummy tucks see this and can help me out or reassure me that this is normal. About a week ago while massaging bio oil all over my belly, I felt a lump about hand width above my belly button. It's where the muscle repair was done. I haven't done any ab workouts or anything, just my normal everyday things. I'm not as active as I should be, so maybe that has something to do with it? I'm not sure, but I do know that it's painful. Can anyone help me out or have any personal experience with this? I'd greatly appreciate it???? I took a picture of me pointing to where I feel the lumps. There's just 2, but everyone worries about stuff like that. I'm hoping it's just scar tissue. I can't just go see Dr. Mel as I'm in Western NY and he's in Miami lol otherwise I'd just schedule an appointment????

Hey girl, Thank you!!! I never thought my stitches poking through would ever dissolve either, but they did! I know it takes a lot of time for Everything to heal. Everything little thing I do seems to make my ab muscles ache! So I'm thinking(and hoping) that the lumps/bumps I'm feeling is just stress or pulling on the repaired muscle, but I'm not sure if it's normal or will it go away with time or if it just needs to be massaged out or something! I'm trying to stay positive and actually waiting to hear back from a post op nurse from Spectrum Aesthetics. I'll update as soon as I hear back from the nurse! :)

Hi Ladies! Here's another update on me! Sorry it took so long and hopefully I didn't mess up anyone's research on here. I ended up getting a stronger compression garment from Walmart and to my suprise was able to fit into a size small(5). Though with regular clothes Im still wearing all of my normal clothes. I do find myself pulling up my pants a lot more! My stomach looks nice and flat to me! Listen...we all still look for and find flaws in ourselves, even when we look amazing!!! I'm very happy with how I'm healing and drain sites took a lot longer to heal than I thought , but my left side appears to be fully closed and healed and ny right side is scabbed over and half the size it was! AND I'm so in love with my boobs lol Here ate a bunch of pictires i have taken a long the way and I'll have them labeled for you all! Also, I think I may have what they call dog ears? It could just be how my hips are healing... I just cant wait to wear a bikini next summer and how I will look lol I know i still have healijg to do... They do say swelling can hang around for about a year and I'm not faithful when it comes to wearing my compression garment! Thanks to all you ladies for checking up on me and your interests in my healing and results.....;-) Sorry for the over load of pictures! Hope I didn't over do the boob shots lol

Thanks for the info on weather in Miami also girl and I also have Liz as my coordinator she messed my date up if I hadn't caught it on labs I would have missed my day she had me on Oct 11 that's no where near I was supposed to be Oct 21st now I have to do 22nd cause she messed up... And she didn't apologize either that only made me more upset... I'll get a free massage afterwards since she messed up but a simple I'm sorry I made a mistake would have been nice... But owell some people won't admit when they make a mistake so I can only be thankful I caught her mistake.... Surgery is on a Saturday now seems weird but hey I work on Saturdays also sometimes so it's whatever long as he is on his A game that morning lol wish me luck

Hey all I've been using is Bio Oil and I got 450cc's mentor memory gel and he recommended doing a hybrid method where it's not in front or behind the muscle. He cuts a pocket in the muscle and put the implant inside my muscle! It sounds weird to me, but he said he doesn't have to do revisions on women that get it placed the hybrid method.

Oh lord... I'm glad you caught the date! That would've been terrible! I feel having the surgery on a Saturday will be way better for you! And no problem about the weather!!! I lived in Davie/Ft. Lauderdale till I was 10 yrs old and visited every summer at ages 10-15 years! Absolutely lots lots of GOOD luck to you hun!!! Give jim your concerns for a straight line bc mine kind of sux...but also jas some to do with the drain sites not healing properly or as quickly as I'd liked! Take Care and I know youre gonna have banging results!!!!!

You look great!!! How does Dr O do his belly buttons? I want a natural look and don't want to see the scar around the outside of it, did he explain how he does his?

Hi, sorry just seeing your post! I don't remember him explaining how he does his belly buttons but I know if you express concern about it he'll do his extra best on it! And thanks for the compliment! I have some close up pictures of my belly button. If you'd like an updated pic, please let me know. Right now my scars are still very noticeable, but will fade over time. Good luck on your journey ;)
