Well!! Five weeks have come and gone! So far everything is looking good! I have a few scabs still from the tape that was placed over my incision about 4 weeks ago, but other than that and a little redness/swelling on my upper thigh everything is perfect. I have been massaging cocoa butter and vitamin E oil over the incision and red areas for about two weeks now. I find that the Vitamin E oil really soothes the skin and incision, so I put that on ever night, and lather the lotion on in the morning and at about mid-day. I am currently on an antibiotic due to the swelling/redness on my upper thighs. I think it might be from my compression garment that the doctor gave me at the time of surgery. Although I wear my Veronique compression garment, most nights I still wear the white one given to me by my doctor. I think this is what irritates my legs due to my constant sitting and standing. I am soooooo happy with my results. This week I went and bought a new bikini, I can't WAIT to wear it out :) This week I am going to start wearing the gel strips over my incision, so next week I will be sure to post about it. I have uploaded a few updated pictures taken just a few moments ago. This week I included one sitting down. I hope these updates help :) if anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to ask :)
This is me sitting down. NO ROLLS! Can you believe it!
Do you see the redness of the leg, on either side of my pubic region? This is what I think was caused by my compression garment, and also what I am currently taking antibiotics for.
A Little swelling on the left hip. But swelling is always expected :)
