I’m healing very well, I still swell some in the evening but so far doing great. I have a thick scar above my navel, I’m using scar tape on my vertical scar and mederma scar cream on the horizontal scar. I have dimples below my navel and hardness. I have been massaging these areas and hoping that resolves this issue. Here are some recent pictures .

MrsAce, thank you for your kind word. I had a lot of lose skin and also a 1 1/2” x 3” scar above my navel from a botched cool sculpting procedure. This is called a fleur de lis tummy tuck.

No, I wanted lipo but I had a big scar on my right side from gall bladder surgery and a large scar above belly button from a bad coolsculpting treatment so dr didn't want to do so much at one time .

Mamb, I'm doing good, tightness in stomach which is probably the healing process. How are you doing ?
