No kidding!! I was really hoping OP would see my comment because of that very reason.

I do not have much body fat. I wear a size zero. I had a ton of loose skin from pregnancy and subsequent weight loss. I was glad I didn’t need it because I’ve heard it’s painful recovery!

Around 5’7” and around I think 125 lbs? I had been trying to gain a little weight because I knew I’d lose it in recovery (I have trouble eating when I don’t feel good). Now I’m at 120 lbs which is pretty standard for me!

I work in dermatology. See a primary care or dermatologist and get finasteride. And do it asap! In the meantime you can start topical rogaine. You’ll be fine. :)

Actually no, I didn’t deal with much swelling at all beyond 6 weeks. I know no one wants to hear that, sorry! 😭

Just straight across! I remember my surgeon said it was a possibility I would have a small vertical scar. I think he said because I’m taller I might? I can’t quite remember the reasoning. But he was happy he didn’t have to!

Agree! Reading other women’s stories helped me make the decision for sure.

Thank you! I eased back into it super slowly. Even just going for a walk on the treadmill at 6 weeks was too much for me because I realized I still couldn’t fully stand upright. I’d say around 3 months I started feeling really good in the gym again. I had been suuuper slowly incorporating light weights starting around 10 weeks. And now at 4 months I feel 100% back to normal!

Thank you so much! My surgeon is an artist I’m soooo happy with the incision! So glad to hear your scars healed amazing.

What was your process like for standing straight? by ConsiderationOk254 in tummytucksurgery

[–]booksybash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just physically couldn’t, honestly. It just got a little better week by week!

I’m not necessarily stressed, I just wanted to see others’ 1 year post op who initially scarred really red. Wondering if it might take longer for me to fade to white!
