No regrets!

I’m at 5 month post-op now. Nothing much is different, still dealing with swell hell at the end of the day.
Doctor will be removing my minor dog ears next month.

Just thought I would add a couple more recovery photos I’ve taken. I’m now 3 months post op and I still wake up every morning and look and my stomach and think “this can’t be really be me.” I wonder when that feeling will go away haha
My stomach is still completely numb from my belly button down to the incision. Such a weird feeling, I can’t wait until I regain feeling there. My stomach is still super tight as well. I have my 3 month post op appt with my surgeon Monday morning.

A little over the 12 week mark. Still dealing with intermittent swelling, especially on my flanks. Although a couple times I have noticed on hot days if I’m outside doing yard work or something all day - by night time I’m so swollen I seriously look pregnant, it’s so uncomfortable. I’m a third shift nurse, being on my feet all night long I i expected the swelling to last a while. It’s still discouraging sometimes. So I do throw on old faithful (compression garment) from time to to time to make me feel better and combat some of that swelling. The incision is doing well, no issues. Still putting vitamin E on it daily. And the ends of my incisions haven’t fully smoothed out yet, but they’re getting there.
I’m an avid tanner - so I lather a lot of sunblock across it when I tan to shield it from that.
I have another follow up appt with my surgeon on the 22nd, but that’s more for my leg, not so much for the tummy tuck recovery. I could NOT be happier with how my stomach looks. Especially for only being 12 weeks post op.
