Scar treatment

I've been using scar guard. I'm almost all done it. And I'm not disappointed nor am I really happy with it. I had a bit of a reaction to it. Anyone have any suggestions on their favorite?

Thanks

6 weeks!

Here it is the 6 week mark!!! Today was my first day without my garment on and it felt so different. My stomach swelled up pretty bad by the end of the day. I had to come home and rolling pin it.

One thing, for some reason I feel bigger then before. I was so happy with my results day 1 post op and then now I feel bigger. Is this swelling? When do you really start to see it for what it will be? I especially am curious about the lipo areas also. Anyone else felt this way for their recovery? Would love your thoughts. Thanks.

Day 39

Wow it has been a bit since my last update. I guess that means I have been doing good.

I am still in my garment and I use padding to stop the creases. I tried the ab board but because I'm still full around the stomach area it stuck out and looked too fake to wear out of the house.

My tightness is gone and comes up rarely. Swelling has severely decreased. I can sit successfully for hours. Upon standing I am a swollen. I rub on the areas. And I am fine. I am walking fully upright. I am not doing an specific exercise yet but I am walking a lot. Even more then before the surgery.

The incision is beginning to heal slowly but surely. I am using the Scarguard up pretty fast as I had the allergic reaction to the tape so now it is uncovered so I'm applying it daily.

In 3-4 days I am allowed to stop wearing the garment. I will have to update you on how it is after that point.

Wishing everyone a healthy and speedy recovery.

I love Dr Colony. He was very understanding about my case and gave me all I needed to make an informed decision. He readily available by phone 24/7 post surgery which made me feel rest assured. All of the staff was great. I was very very happy with my choice. If anyone is considering Dr Colony and would like to ask me any questions it would be my pleasure.
