“Early 50th Bday Present: TT, MR,...”
I am 47 years old and this June will celebrate our kids 20th and 24th birthdays as well as our 27th wedding anniversary. A few months ago, I visited a PS about lipo for my muffin top and was told that my skin was too damaged from pregnancies and that a TT was my best option. My husband was very supportive and said life is too short, go for it. So I am. I am 5' 8 1/2" and weigh 170lbs.... more
“Four Months post op, extended tummy...”
I had lipsuction of my thieghs and breast implants about two years ago. I wanted to have fat removed from my abdomen as well but it was suggested that I would not be satisfied with the results and that a tummy tuck would be the best option.

Growing up I was always overweight. When I was 20 I decided to lose the weight and get healthy. It took me about 2 years to drop 140lbs through working out and changing the way I see food. Then I gained 80lbs with my first pregnancy (she is now 4years old), lost that weight, then gained 60lbs with my second pregnancy (she is now 1 year old). I began researching right after I gave birth to our... more

“Tummy Tuck Left Me with "Dog Ears"...”
Recovery has been alot more painful and difficult that I expected, but I am only four weeks out and it does get a smidgen better every day.I think I might need revision on the sides, where the incision end on each side. There is a slight overhang of fleshy skin. I was advised by my doctor to use expression compression so I am wearing my compression garment plus another compression garment that... more
“Terrible, Awful and Nobody Tells the...”
I had lipo of hips and pubic mound with tummy tuck and muscle repair. It looked really flat the first 2 weeks, then the upper part of belly sort of popped out like before although the lower was still flat. The pain is INSANE. I cant believe how bad it was even with the pain pump. the pain was about 2.5 weeks, before it let up a little. 7 months later, I still have so much swelling I look... more
I got a tummytuck and a breast lift done (lollypop), last July. The breasts no problem. Probably because the pain of the tuck over shadered it. They told me they were going to do some lipo for free. So of coarse I said absolutely do it. The lipo was done on my sides. Well I woke up with my lower regine shaved. A few days later it was really puffy and I didnt' know why. Then I couldn't wear... more
