I am 54, and have had many surgeries including back which prevents me from abdominal exercises and now for the first time a Flat Stomach!!! 2 weeks post op and loving it. I cannot tell you how I look forward to fitted pants/shorts and not worrying about my stomach hanging over with the muffin top. Will add pics as I progress but from what I see right now, WOW!!

It's never too late (well I don't think I'd consider this at age 70). I did this at age 52 with an eye on my 60 ,75 and 70 birthdays God willing

So glad that you are doing good! you look great! I am going for dr. consult on Aug 1st. I am 51 years old and I know that recovery for women our age is probably longer than someone in their 30s. I have had two C sections, Hysterectomy, Breast Reduction..so I am familiar with pain. I am looking forward to a flat belly though, at last!

I am approx 3 weeks post op and most of my bruising is already gone, my incisions from the cannula are healed and my tt incision looks great. I think being healthy and taking care of yourself after surgery has a lot to do with healing time, for me it does anyway. I have had over 30 surgeries since I was 15 for one reason or another and I have been lucky to heal as fast as I do. I need to post more pics because my swelling is still going down and it looks better than I had expected, especially my legs where I had lipo. Good luck and take care.

Had lipo done on July 5th along with a tummy tuck and butt augmentation. My bruising from my lipo is totally gone along with the majority of the swelling. I have worn my compression garment 24/7 minus bathing and I have had lymphatic massages 2 x weekly since my 2rd week post op and I feel that has made a huge difference on my healing. My lipo areas were inner and outer thighs, inner knees, hips, back flanks and banana area which is the area below the butt on the thighs. My ps used the tumenescent (spelling) procedure and left in the injected fluid for almost an hour before suctioning and he feels that this has prevented from otherwise major bruising. Maybe this also helped with the swelling, I don't know. I do know I love the results and am thrilled that I did this. My TT is awesome but is still very sore and somewhat swollen. I have no uneven areas nor do I have lumps. I am continuing my massages concentrating on my stomach and buttocks area for the next couple of weeks. I hope this helps.

Hi,
Are you wearing a full body suit garment? If so how comfortable is it. My doctor prescribed one for me, just curious.

Yes I am wearing a compression garment without the bra but goes down to my mid calves. It's not bad and in the beginning it helps a lot to keep your stomach from moving. I am still wearing mine since July 5th and only take it off to shower. I purchased a 2nd one so I would have beige and black and a clean one each time I took a shower. Wear it, you will have much better results. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. I also had lipo and a butt aug.

Thanks for the info. Your results look very nice and natural. I think I'll pick up another garment as well.
