Midi Tummy Tuck, with Muscle Repair and Lipo. - Rochester, MI

Hi! Thanks for sharing your story! I opted for the mini for the same reason you did- I didn't want to look like I had a tummy tuck. I work out a lot to look good in a bathing suit, so the last thing I wanted was to have to still buy bigger bottoms to hide a scar! I brought a skimpy bikini bottom on surgery day and my PS drew my line based on that. And let me tell you- she nailed it! My trade off was that my result was not as flat as it would have been with a higher incision. It looks like you have no fat anyway, so you shouldn't see that problem. I tried to document my recovery as well as possible immediately following my procedure. Hopefully you find something helpful there. Best of luck to you!

Daniyella, Hope your surgery goes okay today. I understand your situation completely. I have had three children and lost all of my pregnancy weight and work out. Most people can't understand why I would want a tummy tuck. They say, "But your so skinny and your stomach if flat." But the loose skin won't go away with any amount of exercise and although my husband swears it doesn't matter to him I don't like the look of it. I am going through braces right now in preparation for upper and lower jaw surgery in June and will be off work for 3-4 weeks so I am considering having the tummy tuck at the same time if possible or within a week after so I can recover. How long did they tell you the recovery would be. I have a fairly physical job as a physical therapist. I can already tell you will look great after the surgery. Your abs are so much like mine, if the waistband is up things look perfect but it's just that bit of extra stretched out skin. Happy healing.
