Back to Me I went back to work three weeks after the surgery. I was still a little swollen, but I felt great about how I looked. I took things slow and tried not to put any stress on the stitches. At one point, I dropped something underneath my desk and had to ask someone else to get it for me because I was afraid the movement would put too much pressure on the stitches!
My tummy tuck and lipo scars were still bumpy and red at this point, but my plastic surgeon told me they would eventually start to flatten out. It's really low (you wouldn't be able to see it in a bathing suit), so I wasn't too concerned about the scarring.
One totally unexpected but major (and incredible!) benefit of this surgery was the impact it had on my back problems. I was afraid that this surgery would set me back, but I've experienced the exact opposite. My surgeon says it's because my core muscles weren't being used the way they should have been, placing a lot of extra work on my back. Since the surgery, I have felt ZERO back pain.
