It's been 10 months since my tt operation, very happy with the results, flat stomach, neat belly button and defined waist. No regrets, going for a breast lift and augmentation with the same doctor in 2 months. Scar has thinned out nicely on the sides but still a bit thick in the middle, vertical scar also a bit thick but seems to be flattening out in the last few weeks.
I do pilates 3 times a week and this as only helped in giving me a very defined sculptured stomach. Shopping for clothes has taken on a whole new experience.

Thank you for the update!  Glad to hear you are extremely happy with your results.  Enjoy the shopping.

And now a breast lift and augmentation is wonderful.  Please do consider posting your review in our Breast Augmentation Community.  We would love to follow you on that journey as well.  

I am so happy for you.

5 weeks today! Everyday I am so grateful I could get to do this tummy tuck after 4 children. I'm a uk size 8, us 4, but that over hang over my jeans and love handles just had to go.

Recovery has been very good, although I did get a bit depressed from time to time, I hear this is normal, still swollen and sore where I had my lipo on my sides, but tummy flat, but a bit of swelling in the evenings. I was able to stand straight at 4 weeks, I have been using mebo scar cream which has really helped my incision and belly button.

Everyone is amazed at how flat my stomach is even though I keep telling them I am still swollen. Back at work and going out, but I get tired very easily and want to go straight to bed. Now wearing spanx during the day and compression garment once I get home.

I am still concerned I see more of a slimmer more defined waist, my hips are quite narrow 36" and waist now at 28" from 30". Will keep updating with my progress.

I had a wonderful doctor, he completely understood what I was trying to achieve. Infect he put the fat in the sides of my butt at no extra charge, I also had extra breast axillary tissue removed from my underarms and a much reduced cost.

I was particular about the incision being low because I wear bikinis, I got that and a very straight neat line with a small vertical incision. Recovery was great as can be I suppose, but uncomfortable I must admit, I had my surgery on the 21st of July 2011, so just 3 weeks post op.

I took arnica and post op multi vitamins which helped a lot! Only concern is the swelling on my sides, I was hoping for a small waist as I have a boyish figure. I hope the swelling goes down ad I can have some kind of waist at least! Still not standing totally upright, hopefully by week 4 or 5.

Overall very happy and happier when the swelling subsides.

Thank you for posting your journey here on RealSelf.  

It sounds like you have had a very positive experience and are happy with your results. Give it some more time and you will be standing up straight soon.  Also, the swelling takes a while to go away and reveal your final shape.

Hang in there.
