Consults bring up all kinds of questions - afterwards ; )
In retrospect I wish I had asked questions about going all the way around. My incision goes around further than most but I still have some loose skin that probably would have been helped by a "lower body lift", which is what my PS called that. It is my understanding that if I had done that - my butt and thighs would have been improved. I also wish I had considered the "anchor surgery" because I still have some loose skin across my midriff. I did not realize that was an option at the time.
It is a lot of discisions! However, I am still glad I had it done. I may have a revision if my result is not what it should be the beginning of March when I will be 12 weeks PO.
Take care....
Just had my consult today. Liked it, but a little confused. My doc recommended an extended tummy tuck which is the one that goes all the way around, butt crack to butt crack. OR he said just a regular TT with lipo. I would get better results with extended on the back and flank area, however, reg TT with lipo would be good too. Now I am confused. I know you went with lipo after. Do/Did you have dog ears? I am just wondering why he recommened either. I am 5'9 185 lbs
I will post a review and pics in a bit after dinner gets on the table! :)
Jenny you look amazing! You must be so happy and feel wonderful. Keep us up to date on your progress as you heal.
Oh my gosh, what a difference! You look amazing. Thank you so much for posting your photos. It looks like you got a little more added to your tatoo as well. :)
I am 29 and have 4 kids. Can you tell me how your recovery was with the kids. That is what is bothering the most about going into this surgery.
Thanks so much for any input you may have!
