Tummy Tuck after 2 kids and weight gain

Swelling is bad! Went to the doctor for my 3rd follow up and she wants me to use foam again. I find wearing my shape wear is not enough and the binder leaves marks. While at work I’m wearing an postpartum binder over the shapewear. This tops all swelling during the day, but as soon as the binder is off, I feel the hardness start.

I also had part of my incision open/irritated. Not infected. Just keeping it covered with Neosporin. On the plus my belly button is healed in 3.5 weeks.

I am still very swelled in my opinion. I am 2 weeks post op today and will be going back to work Monday. I am now wearing a high waisted garment with mid thigh coverage per the doctor. My doctor said to get a small or medium. I was surprised it fit the medium fit since the size char said I should get a large.

I was always skinny until my second son and a lung disease. The medicine made be balloon up to 225. After getting off the medicine I was able to lose weight and get back on track, however, I did lose the weight to fast and had some stubborn areas. I checked out a few doctors back in 2016 and then a few more in 2020. I decided that 2020 was my year after everything that I had been through over the years. Dr. Shermak was awesome. 
She was always helpful and saw me extra time before surgery, which gave me the opportunity to add 2 more procedures. She completed a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo, lipo on my chin, lipo on my thighs, and a peel on my face. I had an issue in recovery with my lungs and she stayed the entire time. I didn't end up leaving until almost 10 pm. She is the best doctor. You could immediately see results in my chin area and with the tummy tuck. I also was not in any pain. It was just a burning sensation when I moved too much. All in all, I am very pleased.
