African American women who've had tummy tuck surgery - **Repost

Hi ladies - this is a repost of an older thread I found previously posted By prissy1 on 23 Mar 2011: I'm interested to know of any other african american women on this site who've already undergone their surgery and what was your healing process like? How is your incision looking and what scar care routine you used. Our skin is so different, I think this could be a help to those visiting the site looking for answers before their surgery.  If you haven't had your surgery but are scheduled, I'd like to hear from you as well.
