I recently underwent a mommy makeover that included a tummy tuck and breast reduction. I want to share my experience — not to alarm anyone, but to be honest about the challenges and to hopefully connect with others who may understand or offer support.
I did my surgery on April 29th 2025 . About 10 days after the surgery, the stitches from my tummy tuck opened, leaving a large wound on my stomach. My belly button is not healing . I’ve been undergoing wound care treatment along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support the healing process.
It’s taking a toll on me physically, emotionally, and financially. The healing is slow, and every day feels like a mountain to climb.
To add to that, around the 4-week mark, I noticed one of the stitches on my breast also opened. I’m scared — will it open further? What does this mean for my recovery? The uncertainty is overwhelming.
If anyone has gone through something similar, or has any guidance or encouragement, please reach out. I’m doing my best to stay strong, but this journey has been deeply challenging — and I could really use some support right now.
