Hey everyone, I'm having a tummy tuck together with a Brazilian butt lift at the same time May 11th 2012. I'm 30 with 3 daughters ages 7,8,10. I've wanted a tuck since I had the 1st child. I'm nervous to have the 2 procedures done at the same time but doc does zoo much lipo during a tummy tuck that they prefer to just put it in the butt then and there. Im also nervous of the pain but want the results more. I chose my PS due to the success women have had on this site. I check his background and I'm confident in my choice. The next 3 months will fly by I'm sure.

3 DAY POST-OP: just had my massage with celia, i feel good right now. i took 1 percocet an hour before massage. massage felt good till she reached my back cause i have most swelling there so it wlow,as very tender and sore. im still in just a binder, i think i get cg wednesday which is also my 2nd massage and 2nd follow up with dr. i may try to just take tylenol and see how i feel and jus percocet at night. pain is minimal and nausea is gone since yesterday. now i have heartburn but that should go away when off percocet. im actually surprised at how good i feel, i was expecting the worse. i eat about everyother time i get up, its not much but must keep eating. apetite getting better. i also go peepee everytime i get up, no bm yet just pass gas. butt is still like a rock. my tt scar is really low and thin, the usual swelling and bruising. overall im very happy. just taking it day by day

TT- ok i'm now having mixed emotions. my tummy is super swollen so right now i cant be happy about it. It was super flat day 1 n 2 now is like a basketball so i know it will be flat again just have to be patient with my body. No pain just soreness in muscles when like getting off/on the bed, random spasms and shooting paing. both drains come out tomorrow. Still only in binder, get cg for sure tomorrow

Hey Kim, I too am scheduled for TT and BBL with Dr. Salama and I am very excited!!! You will get more feedback and info regarding you Surgery If you go to the BBL forum..... I go to Miami in June.. Wishing u well.
Kim, Are u still considering having a breast reduction at the same time because I am. Did Dr. S say he could do all 3? Any info u can give will be much appreciated. Thnx!!!!!
Ok, thanks.. TT/BBL in June then I will come back in a few months for a Breast Reduction and touch up lipo...thnx for your response!!
1) take 3-4 firmer pillows and prop them up for your head/neck use a bigger neck pillow and put it just below those others pillows. Your mid/lower back will rest on this to elevate your butt. Then take like a body pillow fold it in 1/2 and shove it under your knees maybe add another after so ur feet arnt just hanging. U will need to adjust urself to get comfie but just make sure ur hinney is barely touching the couch or bed.
2) sides.. Get on bed or couch on ur hands n knees n slowly lower urself down so ur close to the cushion them roll urself to whatever side u want so most of ur body is sideways but just a little bit tilted forward to take addtnl pressure off ur booty.make sure to use a pillow in between ur knees when ur on ur sides too. I'd change between these 3 every hr or so. U can also sit on an open backed chair...letting ur butt hang out. I use a pillow to sit on too for added cushioness!! I hope this helps!!!!
