Mini Tummy Tuck After 3 Kids - Tucson, AZ
ORIGINAL POST
I'm 28 years old and have 3 kids. I have a 9 year...
WORTH IT$4,600
I'm 28 years old and have 3 kids. I have a 9 year old, 4 year old, and a 16 month old. I'm 5 feet and weigh about 97 pounds, but I have that pooch that has never gone away after my pregnancies. When I wear tight jeans my fat is hanging down, which is very nasty. Everyone said I was crazy for wanting a tummy tuck, but they aren't the ones that look at it everyday. Anyways I originally went in for two consultations last year. It was 3 months after having my baby. Well that was a waste of time because both doctors said they couldn't tell me anything since it was too soon after having my baby.
So once my baby was 15 months I went again. I saw Dr. Nelson and Dr. Taki in Tucson, AZ. I decided to do my tummy tuck with Dr. Taki. Both doctors seemed really great and their staff was so friendly, but Dr. Taki won me over. So I am having a modified tummy tuck with plication of muscles and a new belly button. One of the main reasons I decided to go with Dr. Taki is because he offered me a new belly button with the modified TT and the other doc didn't. My belly button is messed up because I didn't take out my belly ring when I was pregnant the firs time. So I wanted a new belly button. So I called today and scheduled my procedure for June. I have my pre-op appt the first week of June. I will keep you all posted and put some before pics up later.

I get the same comments "you don't need a tummy tuck! just work out!"
Working out doesn't get rid of extra skin; and the only reason people tell me I don't need a TT is because they haven't seen me naked, and the Spanx I got are doing a darn good job of hiding the damage that two pregnancies and c-sections have done to my stomach.
Good luck with your procedure!

Quick Update
Well my pre-op appt is in 10 days!! I have been watching some videos on youtube and reading everything I can on the MTT! I am very nervous and excited at the same time. Omg! The other night I had a dream that I had my MTT, but it was a disaster; my stomach was still horrible..... I guess I'm just so nervous about the procedure. My biggest fear of course is the whole going under. My other fear is the pain. I've never had surgery before. Last month I went under general anesthesia to have all four of my wisdom teeth out. That's the biggest thing I've had done and I was a huge baby the first couple of days!
Anyways, I already have a list of questions to go over once again with my PS! Just want to make sure I understand exactly what is going to be done, how my belly button will look, how many drains I'll have, and where exactly my scar will be??? I will def update after my appt! For now have a wonderful night! ????

We have the same belly :) I haven't posted pics yet I need too. I am having my surgery Jun 2 I am also very nervous about going under and final outcome. I honestly need to stop reading seems that so many people talk about pain . UGH I thought and read that with no muscle repair its not as painful. I am getting a mini with minimal lipo around belly button upper abs and flanks. My pS said about a half pound to a pound. I was told maybe /maybe not drains he said it depends how weepy I am. I have had a full physical with ekg and blood work and my doctor says I am healthy I have had 3 Breast augmentations first was very painful other 2 not at all. I was supposed to have this surgery 3 years ago along with my BA but chickened out . Look forward to seeing your updates . Good Luck
