28 Year Old Mom of 2, Having a Tummy Tuck & Breast Lift W/implants - Sugarland, TX

Finally got the tape off today and I'm feeling a lot better about the incisions. They are a lot thinner than I expected! Dr. cleaned up my belly button and it looks a whole lot better than before. The puss and dried blood made it look like the stitches busted or that something went wrong. Loving the new areola's! The tummy tuck incision is thinner than displayed in the pic, there's still dried blood and residue from the tape that was hard to get off in the shower. Got to start scar treatment, which is Jedermann and bio oil until I get my silicone sheets in from NewGel.

It literally takes 2 whole weeks to start feeling better. I personally thought I was tough enough to get through it in a week, but that didn't happen! My hernia in my belly button is starting to drain and has puss. Freaked me out a bit, but Dr. said there's no infection. Because of the hernia repair my bb will take longer to heal.

Here are my one week post op pics of both my tummy tuck and lollipop lift with silicone implants. I was still hunched over and still feeling pretty miserable, but it was tolerable. By this time I've cried to my husband twice feeling the blues about the height of the scar, but he has been such a great support in reassuring me it will fade. The back pain sucks!! I was a tummy sleeper, but fortunately my hubby was able to figure out how to arrange my pillows. We have recliners in our sectional, but I find those more uncomfortable. So my hubby elevated my head down to my upper back in pillows, elevated my legs, put pillows under both arms and my personal trick for the lower back pain was putting a neck pillow under my lower back. It felt like heaven after figuring this arrangement out! Lol
