I hope that this time the sutures will hold and stay together so i can have a thin scar line that's easier to hide. Plus, I get a little bit of a butt lift too! Ireally had to watch the sodium intake...would retain water very quickly if I went over 2 grams of sodium a day. It took 6 months for the retention to completely resolve and I'm still numb all around where the incisions are. It can take over a year to get al the nerves reconnected.
