8 weeks post op LBL!

I think it comes down to aesthetics for the most part.  I told my surgeon that I wanted the best possible result with a nice flat belly and if he needed to do a vertical incision to attain that, he had my permission.  Plus, it is one more incision to heal, etc.  He told me he'd decide what to do when I was in surgery and I woke up with it, but strongly suspected it'd need to be that way anyways.

A lot of people just don't want the line running down their belly.

We talked about extending the vertical part up even further and incorporating it into a breast lift scar eventually.  I really just want to look good in clothes.  And I think I do!

Scars fade anyways. 

 Oh wow, you are healing so nicely! He did a lovely job. 

When things look/feel healed is when you need to be careful. After 6 months I was doing yoga and felt something internal from the tummy tuck go "sproing!". When they say to give is a full year to resume some things, I guess they mean it.

You look great!  I'm about to take the plung into plastics too soon.  Thanks so very much for sharing with us.

WOW, you look great! Love the plaid drawers. ;-)
