6 month update.
WORTH IT$5,700
In some ways I can't believe it's been 6 months. Time flies. I'm happy with how I'm healing and I feel like my scar is fading nicely. I'm so happy I decided to have this surgery. I feel so much better about myself. :)

Yikes time flies!!
So according to my phone it's been 167 days since my tummy tuck. That's roughly 23.86 weeks.
If given the choice I would absolutely do this again. I wish at times I'd had lipo on my love handles though. Lol. I would caution you though if you're thinking about surgery that it is a long process. I remember thinking in x amount of days I'll be flat. Well, you will be flatter but FLAT and not swollen takes time to happen. I still had moderate swelling off and on especially at night until I was around 4 months out. Now it's not so bad on the swelling front but I can still feel the tightness when I straighten my back even with a small amount of swelling. It's not painful just present. I've noticed that I don't really gain weight in my stomach anymore. It all goes to my butt and thighs. Even period swelling does that for the most part.
My scar is fading nicely. It looks darker in pictures than it does in real life for some reason. I have continued to use the silicone tape on it. My plan was to use it for the first six months because of my previous hypertrophic scar. I've had no issues with that so yay! been using Mederma advanced scar gel on my BB. It's fading nicely also. :)
My husband is really enjoying the results. ;) I think it's made me more confident too. I think that's it? I almost always forget something. Lol.
