TT After Vaser Lipo? (photo)

I have had 3 Vaser Lipo surgeries that did absolutely nothing for me. I look exactly the same as I did before the surgeries. I am 45, have four children and have had a hysterectomy. I am 5'8 140 and considering getting a full TT. I want the results to be permanent having not had a flat belly in 25 years. What are the possibilities of a perfectly contoured abdomen after a full TT surgery?

Vaser and Tummy Tuck

When considering abdominal contour surgery, assessment must be made regarding skin excess, soft tissue fullness (fatty tissue) and muscle separation (diastasis). For Vaser to be effective, there must be limited diastasis, good skin quality with minimal excess, and enough fatty tissue that removal will make a significant differnence. Very few women are candidates for lipo alone after 4 pregnancies. Most have excessive skin and muscle separation. Additionally you... more

Tummy tuck after liposuction

It is certainly reasonable to have a tummy tuck after liposuction. The tummy tuck will take care of tightening the abdominal muscles and flattening the stomach region in patients with abdominal weakness. Good luck with your selection of a surgeon.

TT After Vaser Lipo?

Unfortunately you are an example of choosing a technology, VASER, to "try" to correct excess abdominal skin. In fact you state you had "3" VASER invasions! Yes I believe a full TT with MR can help you obtain a better appearing abdominal wall.

Tummy Tuck After Vaser Lipo

Vaser is a very powerful tool in surgical body shaping. However, it is not going to replace a need for tummy tuck in most patients. With more advanced techniques of superficial vaser treatment we are able to better sculpt the skin and stimulate additional tightening. However, I do not think that the degree of skin tightening is very reliable. That is why I like to perform vaser lipo and tummy tuck at the same time. Properly performed vaser liposelection can thin... more

So I had my TT on Tuesday the 9th. Holy pain! I had 4 babies naturally and this pain is so worse! Thank goodness for the meds! Today is a better day. I can sleep flat on my back or on my side with pillows. Took garment off last night for a few minutes and almost passed out from the pressure release. Don't do that unless you have someone right next to you. I am not a patient woman and realize that I just need to stay in bed or on the couch gor at least a week-10 days. Oh and DO NOT SNEEZE OR COUGH!!! I made that mistake and thought my insides ripped apart. I would suggest getting a raised toilet seat to make sitting to pee easier. I also have cloth diapers under my garment to help prevent chaffing and itching. I will post pic in a few days. :)
