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 .

who did your surgery if I may ask an why were you cut this way? I’ve never seen this type of cuts before.
also 63? you looked amazing even before your surgery! congrats!
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.
Oh I understand now, well you look beautiful an I pray I hold up as well as you. It’s so important to feel on the outside as you do on the inside. Oxo
I also have a scar on my right side of my tummy from a gall bladder surgery several years ago

Did you also get liposuction?
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 .
Hope you are feeling good!
Mamb, I'm doing good, tightness in stomach which is probably the healing process. How are you doing ?
