Its been one month since I had my tummy tuck. My doctor recommended not to do lipo along with the tummy tuck. I feel fine and love my flat tummy but now I feel like I am wearing a donut around my hips and flanks. I had requested the lipo and he said don't need it and I didn't insist on having it and now I regret it. Want to go back and have the lipo of the flanks and hips to get rid of the huge hips that don't match the small tiny waist. I'm so upset that I can't sleep at night. My stomach is in knots. I went for a post op on Monday and was told all is well. I asked my best friend for an honest answer and she told me yes your hips look huge. So upset.

I agree with Kimmers25, your shape looks great! Very curvy and femminine. (Please forgive the spelling)

Hi. I saw your post on the other part where you asked a question about not getting lipo. My honest opinion is you are still in the recovery phase and it would be hard to evaluate your actual results yet. You do seem to have a tiny hourglass shape from the pics you've posted. If you are feeling like you are wearing a donut around the hips I'm betting it is healing & swelling going on.
Try to relax and let your body heal. It's been through a lot. Look at other pics. They can look dramatically different as the weeks go by. If you still feel the same in the future you can always look into it. Hope this helps!

Day 7 completed. Exactly 7 days ago I was in the ambulation center getting ready to go home. They told me that I would forget the pain of that day and they were right. Even though I am still very swollen and my waist is actually bigger than pre op i just put on a skirt that I usually wear a sweater over to hide my globs and pulled it down to put the sweater on and it actually looked good. i couldn't believe it . So amazing and today no motrin not pain med not anything. Wow. I am so looking forward to the swelling going down, but am being realistic and don't expect anything for as the ps said 1 1/2 - three months for 70-80 percent of swelling to diminish one year for 95-100 percent. Happy anyway

Hello manhattan22, hope you are doing good . You look great . Did your doctor use drains?
July 13, 2011
My doctor gave me one drain and took it out the day after surgery. Went home with no drains.

Yes, I'm so glad, had i come home with the drains, i probably would have lost them. One attached to doorknob, dog, visitors, etc. I'm known to be very clumsy.
