Hi Ladies
It's been awhile. I have gained around 15 pounds since my surgery. I currently weigh 187 pounds. I'm contemplating getting a scar revision and maybe some liposuction suction. But then I start to think that I'm being a little vain. No one other than my man will ever see the scar. What matters most is how I look with clothes on not off. I think we get so consumed on how we look with our clothes off that we worry ourselves with things that are not important.

6 Month PO
Hi Ladies
It has been 6 months since my surgery. I still have swelling every day. It's mostly in my mid section. It's worst after work. The compression of my work pants tend to not help with the swelling. I started back working out at the gym. Mostly lifting weights. I do some cardio but not much. I weigh around 176. From my pictures, I wish I would have gotten Lipo at the same time as my tummy tuck. I think that would have reduced the fat look when I sit down. My stomach still bulges over my pants a little.
I go back for a follow-up visit with my PS in two months.

4 Months PO
I started back using the scar treatment sheets but I only wear them every other day now. I was only using them on my side scars because those are the ones that you can see really good. I just started using the sheet on my pubic area the other day. That is the most raised part of the scar now.
I still have swelling every day. I have not had a single day where I didn't wake up without swelling so I still don't know what my stomach will truly look like after all the swelling is gone. The swelling is right in the center around my navel area. I wear my compression garment whenever I wear something that may press too hard against my scar.
I do not like how my stomach looks currently. It looks bigger than it did at 2 months. I have gained 2lbs so I don't think that would make my stomach look this much bigger. It is that time of month so I'm hoping that's why.
I had my follow-up visit with my PS and he said everything looks great. He thought the protruding skin on the side would go down. If not, he said I may need liposuction. He has never mentioned dog ear. I only know what it is from being on this site. I asked him about the skin wrinkling up when I bend over and he said that has to do with the elasticity of my skin and that they have to leave enough skin so that you can stand straight. I also asked him why my stomach protrudes out so far. He said that if I diet and exercise, I could get closer to that flatter look that I was hoping for. He said that he pulled my muscles in as much as he could so it could just be fat that I have in there around my organs, etc. I go back for a follow-up in 4 months.
I stopped working out. I just don't like doing cardio. I'm planning to start back up at the gym lifting heavy weights this week. My plan is get down to 160 – 165lbs which is my goal weight. I'm currently at 175lbs.

I think the results would have been better with lipo.
