48 Year Old in Need of Some "Remodeling"
7 Month Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction Update
After seeing pictures of myself in swimsuits, I decided I needed to make my breasts less of a focus. I already had a mini tuck about 10 years ago, but decided to re-do it when I had the breast reduction. Dr. McDaniel and his staff were pleasant to work with and very helpful anytime I had a question. Sometimes I would call with a question and sometimes I would email a picture in before I called. I felt this gave the doctor some reference to know if I needed to come in, or if he could just give me a call (for reassurance or instructions). I am happy that I had these procedures and with this doctor.
Some of the pictures are sideways, or upside down, sorry they weren't auto-corrected
6 Weeks! Yeah!!!
I have noticed where the glue stayed on longer, the scar looks thinner. I was worried because the glue actually looks like a big scab, but it's not. Some of it got rubbed off, right away, by the compression garment and some of it stayed on for 5 weeks. Definitely it looks MUCH better where it stayed for 5 weeks! When I went in to see Dr. M at 5 weeks he pulled the rest of the glue off so he could take a look at the scars. He said a lot of people lose their glue about 2 weeks. I only showered every other day since it was cool weather. I think that helped the glue stay on longer and the scars look better. That's just my opinion.
I have been on the treadmill for the last couple of days. I'm walking pretty slow, but for 30 minutes, or more. I haven't noticed much additional swelling.
I started Embrace Scar Therapy on my BB today. I ordered the small one. It's just an experiment to see how I really like the product before I commit to the much more expensive - Mommy Make Over Kit.
Was going to post more pics, but some of them keep coming in upside down!! Will post more next week - hopefully.
