“More Painful Than I Thought It Would Be - South Carolina”
Spent: $8,100 in South Carolina
Posted 14 May 2011
I had a TT and hip reduction. If I knew how much pain I would of been in I would of chickened out. I had my surgery 3 months ago. I just now can sleep on my tummy and my stomach cramps up into a knot. I do love the way my tummy looks in my new bikini but I have had many other surgeries and this one was the worst. My scars are pretty wide. I thought they would be a lot smaller.

I think everyone's body is differant..so if you really want to get a TT go for it. You only live once.



Yes this is a very painful process which takes weeks/months to heal. I am sure many women feel the same way about possibly chickening out if they knew.
Your scars will improve month after month so I am sure the will shrink and fade more as you heal.
If you have some time we would love to hear some of your tricks and tips for recovery. What gave you comfort, what hurt more, etc. Hearing from others experiences is very helpful to women planning for their surgery and recovery.
