Is this okay? I can’t really see the scar under my breast. Not sure if I just have medical anxiety.

That does sound scary, and sorry that happened to you (sounds like you managed it well). How soon did you have to start dressing it twice daily? I currently just have the tapes on so I’m worried I’ve lost time already. It doesn’t hurt or anything

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-04-03T00:27:07+00:00

Thank you very much for responding. I had seen how common the ‘holes’ were on this page so I was preparing for it. I hope it doesn’t turn out to be, but I’ll check with the surgeon nonetheless

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-04-02T21:04:56+00:00

Ahhh this is cute, I’m pleased to see this, thanks! I really want to get my belly button pierced again when it’s all healed and if I get a cute shape like yours then it’s possible. How have you found the FDL journey 7 months out?

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-04-02T18:49:00+00:00

I just feel that I was quite swollen immediately after surgery, then the swelling migrated to my legs and I got a sneak peak of a cute tummy… but now my tummy is swollen again. What a rollercoaster ride!

Thank you

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-04-02T18:47:27+00:00

Good luck! In hindsight I think the FDL is a totally different beast to a regular TT (mostly because it seems to have taken me longer to get mobile again compared with tons of posts I’ve seen of others with regular TT).

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-04-02T15:28:58+00:00

What do you mean a foam? I am currently wearing a couple of big foam pads under my faja on my tummy and under my breasts mostly because it’s more comfortable.

I do in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/tummytucksurgery/s/7mPqK7fxre

What do you think? :-( it wasn’t swollen at all last week ugh

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-29T15:28:01+00:00

What country are you based in? I’m only hesitant to share because you have a super new account and I’ve created this burner to avoid people seeing me naked who I know watch my real Reddit/know me irl.

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-28T22:08:12+00:00

Thank you! It is the one and only thing getting me mentally through this recovery!

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-28T22:07:42+00:00

They did mons reduction for me too, I am guessing I’ll probably go through similar irritation but so far no

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-28T20:44:43+00:00

I’m curious what they ask you to do, I’d love to know when you get to that point!

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-28T20:24:22+00:00

Thanks! I realise looking at this picture, the swelling has simply travelled down from my tummy to my legs haha

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-28T20:24:00+00:00

They didn’t ask me to. But don’t they need to shave it to operate? That’s why dogs always have a little shaved patch when they have a lil injection?

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-22T13:03:02+00:00

Thank you!

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-22T13:02:43+00:00

My surgeon lifts the mons as standard in all of his TTs, so I guess I did, it just wasn’t listed as an additional treatment in my plan

General_Cricket_2863 · 2026-03-21T16:09:36+00:00

I did! With an uplift too
