My experience was great all in all. The day of surgery I was very scard and almost walked out, but because my nurse & Dr.assured me that everything would be fine I did it! I am so glad that I did it. The cons would be just not knowing the prep for after surgery. There was a lot of bleeding so use old sheets and jammies you don't care about. Ask a lot of questions. The pros would be of course the way it looks! I'm not feeling the extra skin anymore from my 2 c-sections, it's great!

Thank you for showing us your before and after, I haven't seen alot doing mini tummy tuck. I will be getting mine done Dec. 22. How long was your surgery and did you also have lipo done? I am very nervous too. I was told mine surgery should last around 2 and half hours and I won't have a drain, I see you didn't either. You look great!!

Thank you!! Those are great questions! My surgery took about 2 hours. I had lipo done, no drain & no muscle repair. Prepare to wear the garment for 6 weeks! I wasn't prepared for that.

Anything other qestions I can help you with let me know. Your right, there is not a lot on the site for mini tt. Thanks!

You look awesome. Pictures like this make me so excited about making the choice to have a mini with no muscle repair. How were you feeling the day after? Do you feel you recovered pretty quickly? Not many answers about having it without the muscle repair so any info you have I would love to hear. Happy healing.

Thank You Mindy Lou!
After the 2nd day of surgery I felt groggy & it still took a lot for me to get up and take a shower. Thank God for the pain meds! That is what got me through it. I went back to work 6 days after the surgery. I have a job that does not require a lot of physical activity, so that is the reason I was able to do it. I continued to take ibuprofen so that helped a lot. I'm having a great experience. So Happy! If you have a good Doc you have nothing to worry about. Your doc told you need a mini for a reason so just go with it. :)
Let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you.
