Mini Tummy Tuck: Stories

I am 46 and have had 2 C sections . I finally lost the baby fat, after 24 years. But still have the belly , and wanted to get something done.



I went to a local PS and he is great. Told me what we needed to do to get a flat tummy and a girlish figure with lipo. He took before pictures and we set a date. Dec. 19 at 8:30 .



I have put up my before pictures of my tummy. I have never had a flat tummy and told my husband its time. I am glad I found this website and have learned alot from all of you.



Will keep you up to date on this great Journey!

Yes, paying last payment!Updated on 18 Dec 2011:Well, had some concerns on the going under part, but my PS answered all my worries. Will be going to have my surgery on this coming Thursday. First one out so, I am happy about thatUpdated on 22 Dec 2011:Just got home, all went well. After taking a Valium Everything was great. Now drinkIng like a crazy person. No drains, so I get to shower in 48 hours. Not much pain so far.

Chirstmas Day, 3 days post op. took off bandage today, almost passed out. But looking good. Will put up pics soon. Feeling better everyday. I found out you need to eat, even if you don't want too. Started eating and feel much better. Go to PS on Friday. Will see what he thinks. Having trouble putting in binder by my self. But figuring it out

I am 8 days post op and went to my PS , said every thing is going great, have swelling and will improve over time. I have had alittle blues promblem , but got some meds for that. I am sore where he did lipo, got alot of fat out of me, so my tummy is sore . I lost 5 inches from the before and after pictures. I am putting up after pictures of day 8.

Going on 13 days and started my period. So I am alittle swollen, but seeing a big change in my tummy everyday. will post more pics soon. Love all the ladies out here , helping me get threw this!!

I am at my 3 1/2 weeks, and feeling better. I go to work on Tuesday and will be on my feet for most of the 5 hours that I work. I have bought a garment to wear to work in. Hope it works, I was wondering what you mini tummy tuckers, wear now that you are going to work or at this point. I feel like I have had this done for a long time , but it is only going on a month. I don't go to my PS until next week. I have been walking on treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Days 2 so far! Hope you all are doing great!

It is almost coming up to 2 months . It seems like it has been longer. My PS told me to slowly take off the binder. I still wear it to work in. I stand on my feet all day and pick up heavy things. It helps. I have my good days and bad days of swelling. I was very swollen on my last check up and my PS , said that will happen. I am back to the gym doing what I can and feeling good with that. I have put up new pictures. I didn't know had so many scretch marks, couldn't see them before. HaHa. Oh , well , those are my couger stripes!!

May 2, I am having a set back, I have for the past 2 weeks developed a hard ball size lump at the scar, saw PS and he didn't think anything of it, thought it was odd!!! So upset, about this .. I looked good last month and then now I have this wierd lump and my PS doesn't seem worried. I was looking forward to swim suit now, I am not. If it doesn't go away , in a few weeks , I am back to PS!!
