Tummy tuck 2.5 months post op (before and after)

2.5 months post op, still healing.

My tummy tuck journey

After having 3 kids I was left with very damaged and loose skin, plus due to my family's genetics, our skin is SUPER thin. Once I was determined not not have more babies, I started looking into getting a tummy tuck. I found out about Dr. Pirko through a family member and went in for a consultation. Once you walk into his facility it's like walking into a relaxing spa, the office is super clean, smells refreshingly amazing! Making changes to your body can sometimes be scary and I had lots of questions and concerns, but Dr. Pirko was very professional, he answered all of my questions and concerns. So I went ahead and booked my surgery. Once surgery day came, all of his surgical team was very kind and caring as they prepared me for my surgery. Right out of surgery I really never had pain (only took pain meds for like 3-4 days but I really was never in pain from my surgery incision). However, my main discomfort was being hunched over. My skin was so tight it took me about a month and a half to start walking straight. I will also mention that at about one month post op, a small section of the incision opened up at one of the ends (side), one of his nurses told me it was a common issue especially at the ends but after reviewing the opening, it was not infected and was given instructions on how to care for it and help it heal. I have been seeing Dr. Pirko for my regular follow up appointments. My incision looks clean (keep in mind my skin is very delicate). I still have redness which should get better over time. I am really happy with my results, now I want to focus on working out so I can maintain and enhance my body more.
