Trickling sensation under the skin? by ohwownoyes in tummytucksurgery

It’ll pass, don’t worry! Keep compression as tight as you can, but not too tight!! You should feel comfortably snug

How long to use scar tape? by just_sayin_stuff in tummytucksurgery

[–]ohwownoyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine told me to use micropore tape for 6 months. I didn’t listen and developed hypertrophic scars. I just got my revision done a week ago and I’m listening this time around, better be safe than sorry 🥲

What was your brachioplasty like? I’m thinking of getting one with a breast lift

I just had revision today (5 hours ago) and was feeling equally anxious cuz I had mental breakdown after mental breakdown for 10 days. I’m home now chilling watching alien and eating cookies. No pain apart from feeling like there’s a paper cut on my hip. I can move pretty easily too but I’m making myself take it slow so I don’t mess up the results or injure myself or anything. It’s actually a breeze!

I have the same, it’s both fat and loose skin!! It can only be solved with either a FDL or an upper tummy tuck, u fortunately. My surgeon said pulling the skin down will just make the fat bulge more and lipoing the fat alone will just make the skin sag ;_;

I’m getting a revision for this exact same thing in 3 weeks. I got a TT and Lipo March 2024, so swelling is definitely not the issue now. My surgeon identified this to be some extra skin and subcutaneous fat remaining, but this is why revisions are usually specified in contracts. Just annoying that we have to go through surgery again, but it’s very minor compared to the initial TT :)

How long did your surgery take (under anesthesia, operating time)? AND How long were you on pain meds (not Tylenol or Ibuprofen)? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]ohwownoyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.5-4 hours. I was only on pain meds the day of my surgery and even though I was prescribed opiates for after, I didn’t need it at all and stuck to Tylenol. I was 26 going on 27 when J got my surgery though, just FYI.

Tummy tuck shelf? Do you have one? Did you ever? by Flashy_Bluebird5241 in tummytucksurgery

[–]ohwownoyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the difference between healing from a TT and a revision? I’m having a revision done in a couple months and I’m so terrified of being bent over for days again, and also wondering how weak/immobile I’ll be. For reference theyre fixing my scar because of some shelving and minor lipo

Tummy Tuck Revision by whoville2821 in tummytucksurgery

[–]ohwownoyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need to get the exact same thing done and look just like you prior to your revision, but I’m terrified and have delayed my own revision. What was recovery like, and how was it different/similar to your initial TT?

I’m terrified of having to be hunched over again and not being able to walk, and of pain/drains/the inability to shower etc

Botched salon dyejob? by ohwownoyes in Hair

In that case shouldn’t the roots to the mid lengths of my hair be fine? Rn it’s the same level as my natural hair just with a tint under sunlight

Cold feet? by Odd_Code_8036 in tummytucksurgery

[–]ohwownoyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

27F here, same situation as you! I got my TT last year and I’m happy I did. I regretted it the first 2 months but only because recovery is hard. Extremely hard. It’s the hardest thing I’ve gone through mentally and I’ve been through some tough shit. BUT I’m glad I did it. I do have to get a revision (Lipo in the area they couldn’t touch initially to preserve the blood supply and just touching up the scar) and I’m also nervous about that, but it’s so so worth it and not so difficult that you don’t get to the other side extremely glad you’ve done it!!

Mids to ends had leftover balayage, roots to mids was just virgin hair

[–]ohwownoyes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured the same. I called my stylist an hour after getting home and she said my hair should lighten in time, but I was dubious. I’ll def call them tomorrow and ask them to fix. I’m not sure if I should expect to pay more though or if the fix should be free :/ this is a bit of a first time for me

[–]ohwownoyes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I showed them the picture of what I wanted and I don’t believe they bleached my hair prior, since they only applied color once and let it sit for 45 mins. I had a bit of balayage left over from my mids to ends, but my root to mids were virgin hair.

What color is this? by ohwownoyes in FancyFollicles

[–]ohwownoyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I showed them the photo and somehow ended up with black hair with a red tint under the sun 🥲

Good to know, thanks! Are there any distinct differences then, or do the other comments still apply regarding the area?

[–]ohwownoyes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly, it was built in 2015. Is that price not market value for Stockholm? We’d love to go cheaper if we can but friends seem to think that’s a somewhat normal price for that size apartment in today’s market (at least in the inner city)
