Hello ladies just wAnted to update today is day #2...
WORTH IT$12,900
Hello ladies just wAnted to update today is day #2 after scar revision and lipo. Well I regards pain I have only had to take 2 pain killers all day I feel very minimal pain I think Tylenol will do from now on. I can get around just fine slowly but fine still feel a little light headed but hopefully tomorrow will feel better. Now the swelling has started again I really hope it does not last as long as when I had the tummy tuck. If anyone has had a revision please let me know how long did the swelling last. And in regards my scar I really can tell yet I have this tape on it and I am swollen so not sure what it looks like yet, I going to call my doctor to see if I can take that tape of or if I'm supposed to leave it alone for my next appointment on Saturday when they remove my stitches, we will see. I will try to post some pictures as soon as I can , hope everyone is feeling well and will update soon.

Hi ladies so i finally had my tummy tuck scar...
Hi ladies so i finally had my tummy tuck scar revision today at 11:30 Am and i am finally home to let you guys know how the procedure went. Well first i dah to take 3 medications 1 hour prior to procedure that made me feel little ligh headed but i guess they are ment to relax you. Then got to his office which is also set up to do these kind of procedures. Then once i was in the room got in my gown they started injecting something that would num me for the when the actually admister the local anesthesia. it was about 7 injections not to but felt like little stings, then they let me rest for about 20 min to let it kick in and then they started injecting some kind of fluid to num me even more and about 10 min after that is when they started doing the lipo that part felt weird not painful but more like pressure i could feel the areas he was doing it sides stomach under incision even pubic are then after that i think that is when he started revising the scar that i did not feel a thing. I was awake the whole time, talking talking to doctor the whole time. All lasted the whole time. I got into my garmet and my hubby took me home an i feel good did get a little nauses on the way home and pucked, but finally got home and went to sleep still feel no pain we will see later just wanted to update you guys later and post pics in a couple of days once im abble to take of garmet, talk to u guys later take care bye.

Thanks for the update. So glad that things went well. I went to my 5 month PO visit last week, and my PS suggested that I get a scar revision and also to take care of a little redundant skin on my left side. He scheduled me at my 1 year anniversary which is in Oct 2013. I have a feeling that I will go thru the same experience as you. Did he end up removing more redundant skin and was he able to completely remove the vertical scar? I think for people who have the TT with the vertical scar, the PS didn't remove as much skin as they could have originally (hence the vertical scar is present from the old BB). I can't wait to see your pics. Also please tell me anything that you would do differently or anything that I need to ask of my PS. Thanks so much for your post. All the best to you.

Hi Pettimoon glad you were abble to work out your concerns with your doctor.
In regards your question yes he said he did remove some skin but i was not abble to see what it looked like i guess made tomorrow when i take a shower i will see and maybe post some pics so you guys can see. And i dont think that i would do anything differently but one think i would suggest is that you make sure you tell your doctor the areas that you want to do lipo in your pubic area at least for me he was not going to but he said he would do, oh and exactly the areas that you want more skin removed. Well hope everynthing works out for you best wishes and if you have anymore questions let me know k :0).

Thanks alot. Were all your procedures covered in the "1 year policy revision policy" or did you have to pay extra. I think I will have to pay $150 for the use of the procedure room. Do you you think you could go back to work the next day. My PS said that I could drive myself, and that I could schedule to work the following day. What do you think about that? I just realized that you paid $300 dollars. That's not bad. Take care.
April 7, 2013
Yeah i had to pay 300 for revision. My doctor said the same thing that i could go back to work next day but today is my second day and i dont think i would have made at work i can get around fine but i feel dizzy. I requested 3 days off from work and with my 3 regular days off that will be 6 total but i think if you take 3 days you should be fine to go to work after. Oh and i my doctor said someone would have to drive me and pick me up after procedure which my husband did. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the update, I can't wait to see how your revision goes. I am almost at 4 mths, I am doing my best to get in the best shape possible, but even then I just don't see this getting any better. I have much more fat and skin left than you do when I sit, it is very noticeable, especially when wearing fitted clothing. I find myself feeling uncomfortable and trying to suck it in, that was the whole purpose of going through this surgery and paying all that $, I'm finding myself in the same situation I was before, just a bit smaller. Praying that everything goes well for you, looking forward to your update.

Thank You Yennie i can understand how you feel but in my case i did not see the final result until i was about 6 1/2 months so maybe u are still swollen but if that is not the case once that time goes by bring it up to your doctor maybe they can do revision. I will keep you updated on my revision take care.

I'm so sorry about you needing a revision, I just had a TT with MR 7 days ago and that's one of my fears. It's good to know they your revision won't keep you out of work as long as the original. Did you have to wear a compression garment with the original surgery and if so for how long?
March 23, 2013
Hi gattingsexy yes i did have to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks. Thanks
