Question:
Just a quick review..........
I'm one of the few who is rather unhappy about my results.
Although I am still very early in my healing process 3 weeks post op,
I really have my doubts that swelling is the cause of my unhappiness.
I honestly feel right now that I look much worse than pre op. Actually hideous would be a good adjective.
Besides the looking very nasty right now (although that is my least worry right now which is ironic), my dissatisfaction is the bulging above my incision. I know I have swelling but I think that it really may be tissue that was pulled down. (Doc never mentioned this could be an issue or result, I was basically told I would be flat)
If you look at my pre op s you can see some of my ab muscles through the fat tissue, my whole abdomen just sticks out rather than how it looked before having a baby. Although my upper abdomen is flattened out somewhat like my doc said would happen after TT , the ridge above incision is huge! I really don't think I would have gone through this if I knew this was going to be the tradeoff. Do you honestly think this is only swelling?
Would you be happy with these results? Am I being ridiculous or what?
hopefully I loaded the pics correctly-

Answer:
OMG girl, you are hot!!!!! Please don't be mad at me when I say this but I'm not sure why you needed a tt? You looked so good! You are definitely swelling over your incision, I have the same thing. Do yourself a favor and massage the area. Break up that tissue. Do it daily, any time you can remember. In a few months that will go down.
Also, you can add your link to your signature so you don't have to type it each time. just FYI.
Answer:
Again, I just can't get over your body...damn!
Answer:
You look great. You do have swelling. I know it's a pain in the butt but it's how it is. I'm 10 wks out and still have a TON of swelling. My ps put me on a fluid pill it was so bad. Be patient it WILL get better. You'll see those rock hard abs again soon!!

Nikky,
We have been talking a lot and I see what your concerns are. Don't get me wrong I think you look great but I understand what you are going through because I have buldges that to me look worse then pre-op.
My issues are more on the sides the the front. Try not to be down because if it turns out not to be swelling the worse case would be to have small revisions done. I'm trying not to stress about it now and you should do the same. If we are still unhappy with results after 6 months we will get revisions. Everything will be ok... it is just taking us longer to have a WOW moment but we will get there.
I'm going to post pictures once a month to compare changes.

Answer:
Rellyroo,
thanks for the compliment- never in a million yrs thought of myself as looking hot in my pre op state, but now looking at Post op- pics, my pre op are looking pretty darn good unfortunately.
KB- Yes I hope our WOW moments do come. And if revisions are in the future I guess I'll have to come to terms with that. I'm glad someone sees what I'm talking about. I'm sorry you are having similar dissappointments as I, but maybe that is a good sign and it is only this damn swelling and it will go away.
