46 Year Old After 3 C Sections for Much Needed Extended Tummy Tuck with Liposuction - Tallahassee, FL

Well... In my last post I noted that I had weaned out of my compression garmet... Well I am back in it. It's strange how the swelling fluctuates and with no rhime or reason except as I said before if I sit in an upright position for long periods of time as with sitting at a computer desk actively typing or writing.... If I'm leaning back relaxed in recliner then it doesn't seem to bother me as much. Most of the sensation of swelling/tightness is from my belly button down but it sometimes extends up above my belly button and that has only happened if I didn't wear my CG and get caught away from home and can't put it on. When I let that happen, it takes days to get the swelling back under control. Don't get me wrong... The swelling is nothing like the initial swelling after surgery. It's really not even noticeable to anyone R even myself by sight, it's only the sensation... I feel it. As mentioned before, I Still have some discomfort in the upper tummy area where the muscles were repaired especially noticed for example today my husband left the drivers door open on the truck so I in the passenger seat got on my knees and stretched across the truck to close the door and could feel the pulling sensation in the entire area where the muscles were repaired from lower to upper tummy. Not so painful it was more a pulling sensation. Otherwise I'm doing great and feeling good. Keeping my weight controlled between 138-140 pounds. Can do anything... No limitations. Still loving my flat tummy! Looking forward to bathing suit shopping this year and planning to do so when I go to the big city for my 8 month follow up apt with my PS this week and will post pics then. Happy Easter!????????????

Hello everyone! Hope all is well! I haven't been on in a long time as I've been busy adjusting back to work my busy life... But I wanted you to know that I am almost 100% back to my pre surgery activity. The only twinge of discomfort or really not discomfort but a tight feeling that I feel is my stomach muscles are still sore when I engage my abs. I haven't started any exercising yet but plan too soon! Got a lot of flabby skin such as the chicken wings under my arms and the jello jiggly thighs but I LOVE my tummy tuck!!! Wouldn't trade it for anything and would definitely do it again! I will attach pictures! After my 6 month check up only because I was researching Intense Light Treatment and had to log on to see more pics of before and after and thought while I was on I would give an update... Oh! Swelling is still an issue from time to time. I think I have been 3 -4 weeks since I have been able to stop wearing my compression garment. Up until then I wore it all day and took it off only at night and as soon as I took it off I could feel the swelling kick in but since I took it off I have only had to wear it maybe 2-3 times for one day. So I am almost weaned off for good but some days are worse then others. I guess depends on my activity level and I notice if I sit for long periods of time it seams that there is swelling more as if my pants are cutting off circulation or something. Any way... That's all I can think of to update for now... Best Wishes!

4 weeks and 5 days pics of incision line and I'm on my original CG that my PS gave me and then just to show how thin the incision is and easily covered are the pics of the string t back undies... I'm a full behind coverage type of girl... This is the only pair I own and that's just cause it came with a sexy little nighty I bought so I thought what the heck I'm gonna take pics in them... Lol!
