What a great result!!! I have my TT in the morning. This positive results are keeping me from backing out of the surgery.
Good luck! I am so happy I did it!

One month later....

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks and I am feeling much better. I am still wearing my compression garment at home and at night but when I go out or to work I wear a Spanx like garment (actually a Maidenform Flexees shaper that comes up just under my bra). I go back to my PS next week for my 1 month follow-up. I am still swollen at my incision site under my belly button (you can see it in the photos). It is also hard right along the front of my incision line which I have read is normal for a couple of months. I have a scab on my left hip where my drain was and also a couple on the front of my incision. I am going to ask my PS about silicone strips at my visit. My scar is 34" around.

I think my scars are looking pretty good. I am really happy with my belly button. I think I may end up with a dog ear near the end of my incision but I am going to give it a little while to see how that works out. I am really happy with my scar placement. The panties I am wearing in the pics are the ones I took on my surgery day for him to mark me in. I am not sure if you can see the freckle right above the incision in the front ( above the pubic area) but that freckle used to be over my old belly button.

You look great!
You look great! Your scar has faded so much in just a month! You mentioned you would ask the PS about silicon strips, but have you used anything in the meantime? Congrats on your results!
I have been using Eucerin creme on my incision on the areas as they have closed up and healed and on my belly button. I think it has really helped. I use this creme a lot anyway on different things and always have good results. I plan on using the silicone strips when everything heals but am trying to do as much as I can to help now.
Ah, you're my TT sister! We both had surgery on the same day! You look great and your scar has healed really well too!
Oh goodness!!!! You have the same swelling right in the middle and below the incision! I really hope this goes away!
You look really good! I had an extended as well but only to mid hip. I'm wondering if I extend further around if it will pull me tighter. Your nice & flat!!
Mine is 34" around so he went pretty far but it is tight. He prepared me that it would be.

Drain is out!

So I went back to my PS 2 days ago and was fitted for my LOVELY CG. My drain output has been at 25cc for 3 days so I went back today and had it removed. I need to take some new pics but to give you an idea pre-TT I was a size 10 and today I bought a size 6 jeans. I have minimal swelling. I have been very pleased with Dr Kirbo and his staff and would recommend them to anyone. I am walking upright now, sleeping in my bed, completely off pain meds and basically back to my regular routine. I don't think anyone would be able to look at me and tell that I have had something done, I am moving normally again. I am SO glad that I did this!
