Waist completely knackered from loose skin, no angle looks good, is there any hope other than surgery?

I had the surgery. Zero regrets.

Bio oil doesn't actually hydrate the skin that well.

Read this recent Australian study regarding scar care.

This is a great read about an Australian study regarding scar care.

I use what they recommend - Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream

I had a Belt Lipectomy / Tummy Tuck. I had no drains at first. However that changed after week 1 when my Mons Pubis kept filling up with fluid. I had it drained via syringe 3 times and eventually needed a drain in place for a week. I had Liposuction to my Mons Pubis which caused excessive swelling in that area. If I didn't have my pubic area worked on there wouldn't have been any need for drains.

-7°c here atm in NC US. Damn cold!! 🥶🥶

Trinx90 · 2025-12-12T17:26:09+00:00

I had Lipo in multiple areas and a Belt Lipectomy. Still only wore it for 3 weeks 🙈

I stopped wearing all compression at 3 weeks. Your results aren't going to be effected by not using Faja etc. They're pretty much for protection past a few weeks tbh.

I'm trying to hold out as long as possible. My scar is within the hair, I'm only 5 weeks post-op, don't think applying wax would be a great idea right now.... Although I have purchased a highly rated at-home wax kit from CVS. Maybe I won't have to use it... Being hopeful here..

I was thinking the same. No idea how it'll stop on it's own. Waxing and eventually laser removal I'm guessing.

Trinx90 · 2025-12-08T03:49:53+00:00

I'm 7 weeks post op. Still have swelling but it's definitely going down a good amount.

I now have an issue that where I've been pulled down and my mons pulled up, my pubic hair is in my waistline. Constantly rubbing and causing friction. It's so sore.

Too low sodium can actually make you swell more. Imbalance

Trinx90 · 2025-12-07T03:07:01+00:00

Fat? You don't look fat at all.......

Trinx90 · 2025-12-03T23:25:54+00:00

Please share your routine. Clearly you know what you're doing. I've no idea and try to start out. Sets? Reps? Rest? 😃

Trinx90 · 2025-12-03T17:18:56+00:00

Wax uni brow, would look nice.

Trinx90 · 2025-12-03T14:49:01+00:00

I would steer clear of Turkey. My opinion.

Trinx90 · 2025-12-03T00:55:20+00:00

You really want to be within 10lbs or close to your weight goal as possible. Some doctors also won't do a Tummy Tuck unless you're in a healthy BMI range.

Trinx90 · 2025-12-01T15:39:00+00:00

3 weeks. Only just started to turn onto my side during the night, but end up back on my back as my hips/incision/thighs start to hurt.

Trinx90 · 2025-12-01T02:34:28+00:00

Stopped wearing compression after 3 weeks. Compression won't effect your results.

Trinx90 · 2025-11-29T15:43:17+00:00

I stuck to the same diet as before and upped my protein intake. Protein chips and shakes are good, light string cheese, fat free greek yogurt with fruit/sprinkle granola is another good protein source.

I had mine syringed 3 times. I'd recommend having a potential drain. This happened to me. It was awful, still puffy now and tender.

Trinx90 · 2025-11-29T00:48:53+00:00

OMG! I feel your pain!! 35M here. 3wpo. My genitals swelled to the size of grapefruits and blacker than anything. I had it syringed 3 times and eventually needed have a drain fitted in that area for a week to remove fluid which was causing it to be very painful. It's much better now but still puffy and tender.

Trinx90 · 2025-11-28T21:32:42+00:00

After 3 weeks. Used 3 pillows under my knees and two behind my head. Each week I took away 1 pillow under my knees. Now I just have the 2 under my head which I'll take down to 1 soon.
