I am three days post op. I can honestly say I have experienced very little pain. I have taken 4 pills since coming off anesthesia and mainly because I thought I should take the meds and not because I was in pain. My breasts were a DD and are now a B. I am glad to have foreign objects out of my body. My belly is flat. It's too early to give a comment regarding a final result but I have had procedures before and you must not get depressed or unhappy as it will take 6 months for you to be looking at a fairly final result. And until then, while healing, you sometimes look worse. Do not freak out.

Great review?

This doctor's speciality is breast reconstruction from trauma, cancer, etc and skin removal after massive weight loss. I have not experienced either of the above. She's competent, confident, and real. She is in a private practive in Hancock Park area of Los Angeles.

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm set to have my mini tummy tuck, breat lift and lipo in a week. Glad to know what to expect. I think it's good for us to know that it will take awhile to see the final result and that we may look worse before we look better.

Thanks again!!! Good luck to you and your recovery.
