x Post Tummy Tuck pics 5 months post op

Just throwing this up here in case someone is looking for some pics for reference.  Best decision ever to get the abdominoplasty done. 

Hi,

I know DocHollywood can't get enough info on the Tummy Tuck at the moment, so I finally broke down and decided to post some pics.  They are on my profile if they don't come through here in the post.  

This one is to highlight the scar and the makeover on the belly button.  Note that there appears to be a scar horizontally a little below the belly button and on the right hip- that is just from the waist band of my jeans.  I have super pale skin so EVERYTHING shows! 

 Anyway, the one on the botom is to highlight the extra skin on the back.  My tummy is tight as a drum, but I have a TON of extra skin on the back.  Enough so it folds over underneath me when I sleep.  I imagine that if I went through more PS they would take the same amount off my back as they did the front.  The TT in other words will not fix that.  But- it is not really noticable without spanx because it lays much better than my former extra skin laden belly.  on the 

This is a side shot showing how flat my stomach is now- and no, I am not sucking it in.  And yes, this is with me gaining about 5 pounds since surgery and it is very, very noticable.  Without the five pounds I have a much slimmer front view (pic 1).  I tried below to get an angle that shows the slight ridge above my belly button.  This area still swells up to form that ridge.  Nothing terrible, but annoying. This is the area I had a hernia repaired during the TT.  Also, below I tried to get the buldge in the Mons area (just above the VaJayJay).  It is still mildly sore in that area, and I am still numb so I am not sure if there is swelling still or if that is just how it will be. Even like this though, no issues.  I can see it when I wear snug dress slacks, and the mons bulge is what prevents me from wearing a size 10 comfortably.  But again, not a big deal if this is how is just is.  

Once upon a time I took a before shot the day of surgery.  If I can locate it, I will upload that so you have a better sense of how far things have come along.  I am not a photographer and not the least bit artisitic, so please be kind with the awful selfies!

It looks like you had a very nice outcome. It will be great to see your before photos. Congrats!

I don't see any pics?

Me either and I really would like too.

I can't see the pics either and I would really like to.  We have almost the same stats and I am waiting for my PS consult!  Thanks!  Amy

I don't see them either. I would love to though
