I was wondering is this just your surgeon's technique to cut down the middle and from hip to hip? I was thinking the scar would be just from hip to hip?  Your results are amazing!!! I am going to be able to start back working out come next week and going to try to keep from having to get plastics but if I have to I am prepared... GOOD luck!!!

 I though I was only going to get cut from hip to hip to. When I went in for the final talking about my tummy tuck he told me I was get the up side down T. Here is the reason why I had this kind done on me.

Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty – For large amounts of skin in the epigastric area or if a previous vertical scar exists, a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty may be indicated. The resulting scar has the shape of an inverted T and the abdominal tissue can be pulled very tight with this approach. This is used most often in post bariatric patients who have undergone an open gastric bypass. 



My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

That is amazing! I never knew they could take that much off! I guess it's too soon to tell how much weight you lost from the procedure because of the swelling and healing. Maybe I should consider it for myself?

Feel better soon!
