Week 2 was significantly better than Week 1. At the beginning of the week, I still had some yellow bruising on my stomach, but it gradually faded and is now completely gone. I only have a very faint bruise left on my abdomen, and it’s already fading. The swelling continues to go down each week. My lower abdomen feels flatter, although I still notice some lumpiness under the skin, which I believe is normal at this stage. I’ve been consistently wearing my compression garments and using silicone scar sheets, which seem to be helping. The biggest improvement has been in my arms and armpit area. The swelling has gone down a lot, and the area looks much less full. I’ve always had a pouch there, so I’m honestly very impressed with how much it’s already reduced after just two weeks. Pain has also improved significantly. At the beginning of the week, I still had discomfort when bending down or lifting my arms, but now I can move normally without pain. I’ve been taking bromelain supplements for inflammation and otherwise just continuing my normal routine while keeping the area clean and protected. Overall, I’m very happy with my progress so far. I can still feel some firmness in my abdomen, which I think is swelling, but recovery is clearly improving each week. I’m excited to see how things continue to heal & I will start comparing my before and afters in my week 3 update 😊
