Overall healing well.
The incision looks gold, one spot with a small bump which I'll keep watching.
I can sleep on my side despite some pain.
I bought a new binder which is helping with the swelling.
The swelling is mostly on the right side.
My belly button is doing okay, one area seems to be swollen and has a small pinhole, I'll watch that.
I've been using coconut oil and Maderma.
I have scar silicone sheets which I haven't tried yet.
I weigh 149 up about 2lbs since last week.
I need to get in a fitness routine.

It's improving. They told me eventually it will go away. They also pointed out that the binder makes everything tight and causes some of that too.
If you go through the site here you'll see it's the most commonly asked question :) it does resolve itself just takes time for the skin to settle into place.
Trust me though, I do get anxious about it still! But in comparing pics it is getting better!
I have a goal of 6 months significant improvement. 1 year no puckering.
I bet it will be sooner.

I’ve got a lot of swelling depending on how active I am. Sides are still so sore from lyposuction. Still swing stretch marks and puckering at the ends of the incision. Overall, still happy!!
