Pre-op abdominoplasty with hernia repair

Well I made it! I can’t believe this journey and he results have just gotten better with time, self care and regular lymphatic massage. Dr.Ford discharged me at the one year mark and informed me hat if I lose some more weight and focus on ab workouts I will see even better results by the end of second year and he was right! I have never felt more confident, stronger both physically and mentally. My scar is still visible and I haven’t done any additional micro-needling or laser as it is perfectly covered in a bikini or underwear. Thank you for following my journey and if you are looking for a realistic and specialized surgeon, look no further than Dr.Ford and his amazing team

I continue daily ab exercises and my abs get very sore and lots of tightness but it is expected. A full year of recovery is realistic and I am getting Chinese acupunture and lymphatic massages monthly to support my healing and continue to put on dermatix scar cream daily. I have zero restrictions at this point but want to get the best possible outcome of this investment in my health. Here is a before and after side split that is self explanatory and I am thrilled with the care Dr.Ford has provided me.

The best part about this repair is that you can really start to see definition in your abdomen and it is motivating to workout not only for maintaining results of surgery but also for improvement of overall physique and strength.
