WORTH IT$6,400
I'm almost 3 weeks post ops and I went to the amunsement park over the weekend when my PS advice me not to. Instead I did and just didn't ride anything but walk and swim. I did look great in a bikini but my legs was still aching from the lipo. My tummy look awesome but than it made me realize all my other bad body parts. Yes I been feeling the blue and wanting more plastic surgery. I'm still massaging my legs with plamer's skin therapy oil on my outer thigh from the lipo. All I know is that its worth every money and I still think lipo hurts worst than TT. I haven't put anything on my scar from my TT cause my PS advice not to til I see him on Monday. Until than I might plan on asking about another surgery since its been really bugging me.

My inner thigh. I should had done it the same time but soo many things was rushing through my head. If I had it done at the same time it would cost me less than a grand but now I was quote almost 4 instead so I'm gona tried to save and wait and exercise but I did found a place 6 hrs away that does smart lipo with no hidden fee for only 2grand but for now I promise my husband I would try to exercise first. And thanks so much 4 saying that cause it made me feel better. Our worst critic is ourself and I just need to by pass that.

Your results are amazing! I have a consultation with Dr. Robbins tomorrow and was wondering if your cost was just the tummy tuck only, and if so, how much was your lipo?
Thank you!
Thank you!

The cost for both was $8200. It's cheaper to do both but if you just want the loop alone depending on the area is 3500 which include all other fees!!! Dr Robbin and his staff are Great and enjoy and good luck!!!

Good luck to you, jjvd! It's great to see others here from DM! While I don't know of too many people who have had this procedure done, it's reassuring to get on this forum to ask questions and seek comfort. In addition to meeting with two other surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Robbins and feel the most comfortable with him. I am SO nervous that I'm giving myself stomach aches. Maybe it's just me, but it's such a huge committment. Again, I hope you get the answers you're looking for.

Thank you so much for your reply! That means a lot! I am thinking I will need lipo with the TT, but we'll see what he says tomorrow. Really nervous about the consultation!

I know the feeling but it's worth it to just think how much change your body will be and I never felt so great about myself and my body.

To be honest, you don't really look like you needed a new tummy! Did Dr. Robbins do any lipo on your belly? Did you have to get naked during your consult? Ugh!

Its almost 2 week post ops and its getting better. My back still hurts but no pain, swollen, or puffiness from my tummy. Its perfect and flat but my PS won't let me put any cream on it til I see him next week. I would get up and walk around the house often but going to th store or the mall is different. My legs begin to hurt and I would feel drain that I even fell down but hubby was alway there to catch me. I had lipo on my outter thigh and it still hurts and swollen. Been massage it everyday like the doctor say. It still black and blue all on the back of my legs. I'm feeling bad cause its summer time and the kids wants to go to amusement park but I can't til I heal. They understand. I don't know if its me but I begin to see more problem with my body. I'm thinking I might go back and have lipo on my inner thighs too.. happy healing everyone and I still depend on the meds cause of the lipo on my legs.

Day 6 post ops and it was great. I'm still having a hard time walking because of the lipo I had on both of my thighs, so they're pretty much black and blue. I still think lipo hurts worst than the TT so guess I was lucky. I didn't have any problem. Alway shower and my PS just took off the drain and everything looks good so far. I'm still taking my meds and my flintstone vitamins and drink lots of water. Yes I still have the hot patch on my lower back.

June 29, 2011
Thank you. No your not the only one. I only had tape on mine too and u will soon be looking great in that bikini!!
June 29, 2011
how funny I just realized we both got the same things done, I got TT and upper thigh lipo on the outside :) so glad i did that...just couldnt get rid of the saddlebags
June 29, 2011
crazy how straight you were standing up at 6 wks...I just started standing straight like a few days ago..hahaha had a lil hunch until then. I guess we all heal at different paces..eh :) you look fab btw :)
July 1, 2011
Thank you soo much but no I start standing straight up after just 3 days. It was more of my lipo that is still a pain in a butt for me to get up around but its getting better. My PS told me to massage it every day and it seem to work. I even try to go walking at the mall or the park but I alway end up pretty drain. I know you will look great in the end with all your family support. Who kno, maybe we might end up in a bikini before the summer end. Just hope all this black and blue will disappear soon. Good luck and keep me posted! You look awesome!
