Going to prague for a tummy tuck after disappointing lipo results in ireland - Prague, Czech Republic
After having liposuction of my abdomen and hips in...
After having liposuction of my abdomen and hips in june 2012, i feel that the end result isnt exactly what i had expected. My abdomen area is a bit lumpy and the skin is slightly loose. The doctor told me that i wouldnt have loose skin after the prcedure and at every post op check he is telling me to be patient and take lots of long hot baths, but at four months post op, and lymphatic drainage massages, i realised that things wont improve, so i have found out about a brilliant female doctor in Prague, and im going to have a tummy tuck.
My motivation for doing it is looking at myself in a bikini and not liking what i see in my tummy area, not looking for perfection but after spending four thousand euros on liposuction i really feel that i have to see this thru to the end!
Having said all that im terrified of being put to sleeep, as when i came around from the lipo, i went into shock, my pulse dropped to 36 and i had to be closely monitored.
I think that maybe i chose the wrong doctor and wrong clinic, i was brainwashed into having liposuction by the clinic manageress who told me that the other doctor was "A magician" with liposuction and that most of the girls who worked in the clinic had had him perform it on them also, all with fantastic results! i had started to walk out of the clinic after a consultation with a diferent doctor who told me i should have a tummy tuck, i said i would think about it and let them know...and that was when the manageress called me back and did her work on me...i fell for it hook line and sinker, and the lipo doctor assured me he would do a great job..Ive now learned to do MORE research on your doctor and dont go on what the gorgeous clinic manager tells you!!

Oh we'll, only one day left before I fly to Prague...
I fly in the morning and I have to be at the clinic for 7.30am thurs,
One good thing was reading the tips that have been put up on realself, I have busied myself getting a few of the things that I hadn't thought of, like milk of magnesia and getting my bedroom ready for when I get home, those tips have been so helpful !
Anyway I'll post my next stage when I'm in Prague and I will put some pics up then ..

Well my surgery is over an I'm happy with the...
My scar is so thin and tidy and I haven't taken any pain meds for the surgery at all.
The only discomfort I have is back ache from lying in one position but otherwise I'm fine. Incidentally I don't hav a high pain threshold I just really don't have any PAIN, just a tiny bit if soreness from the stitches but not enough to take meds.
I had the surgery on thurs and Iv been on bed rest since sat wen I left the clinic I'm stayin in a comfy hotel an hav everything I need on my bedside table.
The lady doc who did my procedure is a brilliant plastic surgeon she has 25 yrs experience the cost for my procedure was £1900, including my flts and hotel iv paid around £2500.
I'm now going to try an put before an after pic up
Welcome to the community. I am sorry you have had to go through all of this disappointment but please do not beat yourself up.
Time to move forward and get the job finished and done right. The tummy tuck will take care of all the excess skin and you will be happy when this is complete.
Hang in there and keep us up to date on everything.
