Just Wanted to touch base with you regarding my extended Tummy Tuck results. Its been over 5 months now and I can finally say I am feeling closer to feeling normal again. I still have very little sensation around alot of my stomach and upper thighs. From what I understand it can take Years to resolve since sensory nerve regrowth is very slow according to my doctor. I finally feel comfortable lifting weights now. I still avoid crunches because it still feels tight and uncomfortable to me.

My Scars are healing and fading wonderfully. The side scar and back scar are higher than I would like, but I had already been prepared to accept a scar before I had the surgery so I have accepted that. I went to a followup visit last week and discussed scar revision. The back of my scar is a little jacked up and puckered looking where the drain tubes came out. I also asked if he could lower my side scar and he said he could if I wanted him to. I get my scar revision in October so I am very excited about that.

The only dissapointment I have is that when I started running on the treadmill my butt jiggles. I have excess skin on my butt and thighs which really need to be removed if I want a super tight jiggle free body. I probably should have gotten a lower body lift butt I couldn't afford it. I might get my backside and thighs done in a few years to finish things off. I will see how much I can firm things up with the gym first.

Overall I am very satisfied with my results. My doctor did an awesome job. Ok - heres some pics for you guys.

5 months out from tummytuck. Its recommended to weight at least a year after you reach goal before you get cosmetic surgery.

Love your results!

BTW, I have consulted with 5 surgeons, and they are no longer recommending that long of a wait... but, in my case I will have been at goal about 9 months when I have my surgery.
