So far I am still playing the mental game asking myself over and over if I should do this. The consultation with Dr. York Yates went well. He pretty much said I was a good candidate for abdominal lipo, a mini tummy tuck, or a full tummy tuck. He said my inner thighs would be great because my skin is very elastic same with my upper hip liposuction (maybe all the working out, running and Pilates has paid off)

I went in for a consultation on liposuction. He was very good about staying with that request. He only mentioned the other options after I asked. He didn't try to 'sell' me on anything. He just gave me tons of information and it boiled down to price for me.

Scheduled in two weeks. Nervous about being happy with the results, my husband being supportive and happy with the results. Hoping the scar won't be terrible and wondering how to tell my two young girls (6 & 8) why Mommy had surgery without giving them a fat complex like their mom has.

What is your thinking about either a mini or full tuck?

Cost and healing time is why I am leaning toward the mini. The dr said I would benefit well from both. He even said just lipo would help as my skin isn't super loose, but could only take 50% of the fat to avoid the raisin look! I have my preop Wednesday . Browsing the site a lot to build my list of questions! Are there any questions people wish they would have asked before the surgery?

I have never heard of "the raisin look". I wonder what your surgeon meant with that. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

when asking about just getting lipo, he said he would only take 50% of the fat so my skin won't sag. If he took it all my belly would look wrinkled. Like a grape turning to a raisin with the juice taken out :)

I had my pre-op today and I feel fabulous about my decision! Dr was great at answering all my questions...most questions he answered before I even asked! He increased my confidence in the decision for a mini instead of the full. The nurse was super helpful also. I am starting to feel more excited than nervous!
