Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck - St. John's, Canada

I had my one month follow up with my PS this morning and things went a lot better than anticipated. I had so many concerns about my belly button... Draining, white tissue, not healing well....my PS wasn't concerned at all. She said it was not infected and not dying like I had thought. She said some of the sutures were dissolved and it was not uncommon for it to look this way. I have to continue using mercurochrome and see her in three weeks. She was super pleased with my healing and thought my boobs looked awesome for just four weeks post op. I mentioned to her about breaks/gaps forming along the incisions and she told me it was the sutures dissolving and those areas will fill in on their own. I also asked her about seeing and feeling sutures at the ends if my incisions....feels like plastic fishing line! She said they will dissolve and didn't do anything with them. She also told me to expect little pustules or pimples as the sutures dissolve. Before I had a chance to mention the pockets of swelling/fat/skin on my hips she pointed them out and said it will settle out as swelling goes down and scars soften...told me to massage the scars. Best news.....no more binder needed and no more surgical bra yah!! I can wear wire free bra now. I do think I will wear spanx... Right now I feel loose lol without it and my abs seem to hurt more....maybe it's my mind...my PS said start light exercise now such as walking on the treadmill...told me not to do any crunches yet ( like I'd even think about it...I am not crazy lol). Will get hubby to post more pictures tonight or tomorrow....I really need to learn how to do that

I will be four weeks post-op tomorrow and my belly button is still moist, it's red with white skin in it :(. I am so scared and worried something is wrong....is it infected? Is the skin dying? Or is it just slow to heal....I have an appointment with my PS Thursday morning and it can't come quick enough. I also have a few other concerns I want to address with her 1. My nipple seems to have separated 2 mm on the bottom from the rest of my skin but it isn't draining 2. I can feel sutures on the ends of my incisions 3. I am wondering if I have swelling on my hips or if its extra skin or fat that isn't get removed. I am trying I be patient with the healing but I am so worried right now
