Skin question
on 5/2/14 8:20 pm
I am almost about 10 months out from belt lipectomy. I'm really pleased with my results but lately I feel like my skin has changed. I felt like my stomach was so tight and now it feels looser. Maybe it's because I definitely am starting to get feeling back in my lower abdominal region which has for the most part remained numb since surgery. My clothes still generally bit the same. I do fluctuate a bit with my weight and am feeling a bit lax lately although the scales haven't changed much. Anyone experience this. I feel like I'm expanding and I'm so worried I'm doing something to undo what I had done.
Thanks!

Maybe the swelling is finally going away?? I do remember other people posting about the same issue. I had a lbl, but did not experience that.

I try to remove as much skin and tissue as possible and make everything quite tight for because of the loss of elastic/collagen fibers damage, there is a return of some of the excess skin. This I usually can remove quite easily in the office under a local anesthetic which I did on a patient of mine this week who was one year after her TT. It sounds like your swelling has taken this long to go away.
