Mini Tummy Tuck - St. Louis, MO

So today is exactly 3 months since I've had my mini tt. I am a much happier person today than I was 3 months and a week ago. I do have a few things to point out. I still have a little bit of lose skin at and above my belly button, which is the main difference between a full and a mini. I knew nothing from that area would be removed, so I'm ok with this. And my belly button now is slightly to the right instead of being right in the middle of my stomach. Again, I already knew this was a possibility, and so I'm not surprised by it. I AM a little disappointed that my scar goes slightly above the bikini line on my right side, whereas it's perfect on the left side. I knew before having a mini that the results would not be quite as spectacular as with a full, but I made the informed decision to get a mini and I am still SOOOOO HAPPY with my results. I used to really hate myself when I'd see my stomach and I no longer have those feelings. I've been working out 4-5 times a week again for the past month, so that's been great. Scar is all healed. I feel like it's taking a while to fade, but thats just how my body works. Now when I put on my jeans I don't have to tuck in my skin flap :) I am so happy I got this done. Best thing I've ever done for myself.

Post Op Day 20-It's been 3 weeks tomorrow and I feel totally normal. Back to sleeping in my own bed again, which is great. Had my first day back at work yesterday. It went really well. I work in a restaurant which is why I took nearly 3 weeks off, since it's such an active job. I had more swelling after work than I had had all week. Tried to go out then last night and maybe not quite my best idea. Eating and dancing with a tight binder on just made me feel sick all night and I didn't even drink. So I'll wait til the binder is off to try it again. But besides that, all is well. Incision is totally healed, and it just continues to heal and get better looking. Lots of dead dry skin flaking, but all part of the healing. Will get new pics up soon since it looks so different than it did just last week. Just want to make sure it's a swell-free pic :)

Also, started wearing high waisted Spanks under my binder. Just feels nice and tight.
