8 weeks now and feeling GRRRREAT!! I have been taking it easy these past two months which I believe is the reason I don't swell. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be able to just take it easy and I am glad since it makes a big difference in recovery. I have been wearing my skinny jeans since week three and even had to buy two sizes smaller ( and that is with my big binder on too) . So happy with my results can't wait to enjoy the beach next summer feeling confident!! Good luck to all you girls looking for that flat stomach =)

I am now 7 weeks post op and feeling great! I am pretty much back to my pre op self except for not using my stomach muscles. I started to work out again but started slowly and cautiously on my eliptical and walking my dogs. I seem to get tired easily but everyday gets better. Saw my Dr today and he says everything is looking real good! I won't see him again for about a month since he is going on vacation. Time is finally flying by not like in the first couple weeks seem to drag maybe because we are so anxious to progress with our recovery. Will be taking some more pics soon to post.

Thank you, I took that picture in my bikini at four and a half weeks. My swelling hasn't changed too much but little by little it is going down! =)
June 30, 2011

Thanks , how have you been? Standing 100 percent straight yet? i didn't for quite a while but now I am with no pulling pain or shoulders coming foward! lol =) I have to say I have finally been feeling more NORMAL these past two weeks! I started to exercise again but just starting slowly. Well hope to hear you find a great bikini!! I have not bought anything since my surgery, I am waiting for me to be binder free!!

Yes, finally standing straighter, I still feel the pull every now and then but its more towards the end of the day, I stand pretty straight in the morning till around 3 pm. I feel better than ever though otherwise, I finally took off my tape and got to see my scar, Im pretty happy with it I guess, or happier than the ugly tummy before that. It will eventually fade..im in no hurry. My man wants to take me to water world next wednesday so hopefully I will be all healed up by then. Have to getthe ok fromthe doc first too, dont wanna take any chances. I hear you on the binder free part, I finally worse slacks today, and over the binder was funny feeling. Good thing my pants are way too big on me now or Id be screwed. Ive been wearing big shirts and leggings, thank god that is a trend now a days..LOL oye cant wait to get this binder off, I think Im gonna wean myself off it here coming friday, gonna go shopping and then maybe when I get home take it off for the rest of the day? WEll i hope all is well and have a great weekend/holiday!

Just had a TT a week ago.. doesn anyone know how long before the brusing goes away.
I had a standered Tummy tuck with lipo on the hips.
Thanks
June 30, 2011
I had lipo on my flanks and it took like 8 days for the bruising to dissapear but just last week I could see the bruise on both sides very faintly. So not sure why it dissapeared and now showing. But at 8 days I did not see my bruises anymore to bother me. Hope that helped and hope your recovering fine! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!!
June 30, 2011
I would say a little over a week is when mine were completely gone, I have lipo to my outer thighs, although its funny my lipo didnt hurt at all after I had got it done, like it burned after the surgery, but then I never felt it again ...until like a week ago. When I sit for more than 30 mins I get up and its kinda painful, just like the bruising feeling coming back?
June 30, 2011
Thanks for the feeback.. I'm getting better by the day.. I just feel you know so swollen, and I'm living in my pjs just resting of course I did gain 5 pounds after surgery. (Maybe fluid or just being swollen?) My doctor said swelling for one month..& 3-6months fully healed I'm 5ft tall and weigh 115 pounds. I had 2 C-sections and lost a ton of weight years ago that left me with a lot of skin & fat that never left. I'm 29 years old.

I had a post op today and I am just two days shy of 5 weeks. Dr said everything is going great and I have had NO problems with seroma or excessive swelling. So glad I am recovering well and feeling so much more normal everyday! I am so pleased with my results and my scar, it is healing so nicely. My belly button is a little flat still but hopefully it will go in more with time. Glad I did this and would do it again in a heartbeat!!!!!!

Hey girl, how you been? I saw some of your pics inyour lil black bikini, and I had a question, did you notice around week 2 that your incision seemed high because of the swelling. I ask because it seems like my incision is sooo high Im like I can barely cover it with my panties...grrrr maybe Im jus being inpatient, whta you thnks? HELPS btw..you look smokin hot in that bikini..you go gyyyyrl! owwww

Hi =)
I have been really good!! No, I have always thought my incision is quite low. I was suprised how low it was that my bikini did cover it well even on the sides where it is only strings. But I have all my swelling right where my incision is so I have noticed that little by little since the swelling is going down my scar looks a bit lower. I can't wait for the swelling to leave completely. My pubic area is swollen too still and I am already 6 weeks =(

Yes deciding was a hard thing to do but Dr. Sajjadians before and after pics really were so much better than the other dr's I visited. Also, he is so easy to talk to and I felt at home with him in his office compared to other plastic surgeons. I had my breast done 14 years ago and my dr then did an awesome job but he was nothing like Dr S, he was always hurrying me up on our visits and half the time I saw his staff only and not him. Phone calls always went to his staff, whereas with Dr s they always go to him and he will directly talk to you. Can't compare that to a lot of dr's out there and my old Plastic Surgeon moved to North Dakota. I am glad I met Dr S and will continue to use him in the future. O by the way the Dr is out for three weeks =)
Quite encouraging to see your results. I'm really looking for a good surgeon for TT in Orange County. Infact, my husband is lookin for some sinus surgery as well and I think he can do both...right? May be he may give us a good deal on that...lolz ;)
Yes he is tripled board certified and specializes in Rhinoplasty. That is what he does the most, then breast and then tummy tucks. The one thing that I really loved about him is that he is a perfectionist just like me so I knew to trust him with my body. My husband is going to be going back to him to get his nose done too. Just waiting cuz he took two weeks off for my surgery to take care of me so he is probably going to do it early next year. Well glad to answer any questions for you. =)
