5dpo TT with Modified FDL
So I kinda wanted to show updates about a new type of FDL. The traditional FDL makes a T incision up the middle of the abdomen. This new method makes incisions on the side over the hip, hiding the scar when arms are down and avoiding the big scar up the abdomen that can’t really be here. I’m only five days postop and Obviously I’m still very swollen so I’m definitely not as smart as I could be but it’s a starting point. Hopefully in time as swelling goes down and things flatten out, we will get a better view of what this new type of FDL can do compared to the more traditional version. As of right now, I have to say I very much like not having that scar of the center of my belly. I definitely feel like a lot of people would like this type of modified FDL and that more surgeons need to offer this option. Maybe if people start asking for it more surgeons will start offering it.
I’m definitely interested in hearing what others think of this new type of FDL and whether you wish you had gotten it or if you’re having surgery soon if this is something that you would also want? Or would you prefer a more traditional FDL?
