Modified mini tummy tuck with full MR and 425cc HP BA July 16, 2014. - Toronto, ON

So it has been 12 weeks since my surgery and I am finally starting to feel like myself again lol. I don't wear any compression at all and my PS instructed me to start doing ab exercises. I have done some this week, but am starting off very slow. I am not having any pain anymore, but my tummy is still tender to touch. I still have a bit of swelling around my belly button area but I have noticed that the swelling is going down:) I'm pretty much back to my regular routine, but I am careful with lifting and make sure I use good body mechanics. No issues with the boobs at all, they look pretty close to perfect to me lol. My PS seemed impressed with his work as well haha. I got a tattoo covered up on my back that I will post a pic of too. I love it!! Way better then the old "tramp stamp" I had! lol. Does anyone have any tips on ab workouts that they do?

It has been 9 weeks since my surgery and I'm feeling pretty good. Not too much has changed over the past few weeks. I find this part of the healing process to be fairly slow. I still have some swelling in certain areas at night and definitely some soreness in my tummy when touched. Boobs are great though, no issues there at all. I can wear regular bras now:) I am a 32D or 32DD. I am back to exercising and working out at the gym, but I still just use light weights. I will probably up the weights when I hit the 12 week mark. I am feeling pretty good about everything so far, but I have one area of swelling to the right of my belly button that is bothering me. I see my PS Oct. 21st, so I will ask about that then if it isn't gone (I sure hope it will be though!) Does anyone find the Arnica gel to help areas of swelling?

So I have finally hit the 6 week post-op mark! I am feeling pretty good these days, not really feeling any pain at all anymore. The only thing that is bothering me is to the right of my bellybutton gets an on and off stinging feeling, kind of feels like a stitch is under there. Anyone else experience this? It seems to be getting better slowly, but I hope it is gone soon. No pain in my boobs at all, still massaging 3-5 times a day. My right is still a bit tighter then the left but PS said it is normal b/c i am right handed and pec is probably tighter. I'm planning on testing out the gym this weekend but a little bit nervous lol. I also want to go buy some nice new bras. So far I've only been wearing sports bras, but I was cleared at my 1 month post-op appt to wear anything I want. My incisions look great so far! My TT is still purplish, but has really flattened out. Overall, I'm really happy with the results so far and can't wait to see how I look in a month from now:)
