3 Weight Loss Surgeries 10 days post Op: Back lift, lower and upper tummy tuck and Lipo: 4...
Hey Everyone,
I was so glad to find this site that I just signed up so I can post, because the other posts have been so helpful. I have lost a 140lb over the last 30 month maintained for almost 2 years and now I am 10 days post op from having a fleur de lis ( lower and upper tummy tuck COMBO) and black lift and lipo of my lower flanks .. I am thankful that I have had all 4 of my drains removed and now on this site i am learning about additional resources that will help next go around as I am scheduled for a thigh lift, breast lift and argumentation and arm lift in one month. Right now all my incisions are healing nicely but my brusies and hardness are a concern for me. I have my last follow up with the doctor ( who is in Austin Texas) before returning home.
Hey Everyone,
I will be posting pictures of everything soon enough but until then i am 5 week post op.
FDL: fleur de lis: ( extended tummy tuck)
At 5 weeks my upper tummy is softening up and my scars look 100 times better than following surgery. My t-incision did open back up and has gotten larger each week BUT ill be back in Austin/ Round rock on 10/8 for my next set of surgeries and my Doctor will sew it back up. The lower half of my FDL, is still swollen and hard. I was given a new belly button about 3 inches from where my droopy old one was and its and "outty" vs. my old "inny" and It has taken some " getting use to" My flanks were given liposuction and the bruised and swelled really bad now 5 weeks later with rolling and massaging everyday they are now the size they were originally ( go figure) so i'm hoping with more healing time I pray they are GONE for good ! :)
My back lift scar is healing the best first I was doing vitamin E oil treatments on all my scars until my T-incision opened back up and my doctors advised, they needed more time before i start using the oil. My Back lift went all my way from my back to underneath my beasts. I still don't have total mobility to reach and stretch as of now and I really had to watch my incision under the breast as I don't have them yet lifted and and caused some discomfort and extra care.
Overall this has ben much more or a mental and emotional journey than anything. I wasn't prepared for how little activity I was not able to do. I started having panic attacks and depression because I started to feel trapped in my own body. Getting use to the tighten skin is like: wearing sweat pants all your life and now wearing a body con dress and feels very uncomfortable. I could not sleep on any part of my body other than my back so sleeping for the first 3 weeks was very little. but now i take a natural sleeping aid and that has helped me mentally and physically and feeling a lot better.
Breasts lift and implant, arm lift and thigh lift start in 1 week 2 days .. WOOOOW
