4 weeks since surgery. Still feel tired and numbness around BB. Scar pretty good, some swelling at hip edges that will hopefully subside. Right side may need some revision work but way to soon to make that call. Healing daily. Back to DR. In a few weeks to look at everything she’s been great. Started silicone gel strips on scar looks like it’s improving. Happy healing to everyone. It’s a journey for sure.

It’s been a process but going well. Tightness and numb around BB but healing well. Looking forward to staring scar therapy to smooth & flatten scar. I had 3 drains, down to one. I like knowing all of the fluid is getting removed so I’m not rushing the removal of the last one.

Hi - how long did you have the 3rd drain in?
Do you still have skin tightness when standing straight?

5 days in Tummy tuck
The first 3 days were just unpleasant. Anyone thinking it’s like a C section is in a fantasyland. The muscle tightening was the hardest but getting better daily. I’ve had 2 Dr. Check ups and another s heckled Friday for possible 1 drain removal. Hard to know what things will look like 1-2 months down the road but with Dr.s skill & ability I’m positive. A few pics of today #5.

Honestly it looks like u just need a little lipo.
Well I got that now. It’s never as bad as you think. I’m on the healing path. Happy holidays to you
if i understood right, you have no children. how then can you compare with c section?
I had mine on 12/3 and am still trying to wrap my brain around whether this will be all worth it.
Kind2842 I had mine Jan 4, 2018, so it’s coming up on 2 years and I can say yes, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself (despite some recent annoying menopausal weight gain). I know at the beginning it doesn’t seem like it at times, but hang in there!
Thanks. I am. Patience is the name of this game.
Thanks. I am sure trying but my mood is all over the place. I am approaching 3 weeks. I am trying to wait on the healing process but the occasional pain and very tight mid-section is making me be more annoyed. I know acceptance will eventually come and I just have to be patient. I keep looking at pictures like yours to keep my hope high.Thanks for sharing.
