I had my husband drop me out and just wanted to say during the awake procedure I was talking like normal and even laughing with Dr. Hoyt and Elana. It was over in no time and I did not have toget fully undressed. I actually left my shirt on and just pulled it up tucking it under my bra. I pulled my stretch pants down to just below my hips not revealing anything down there...just the pubic mound. After it was over Elana wiped me off and Dr. Hoyt explained when he wanted to see me again and what I can and dont need to do for care instructions. I thanked Dr. Hoyt and I put my coat on walked by myself and made my follow up. My hubby was already outside and he had a concerned look on his face and said I thought you'd be wheeled out? I laughed and said no I feelfine like nothing happened, lol. Dr. Hoyt did give a pain meds for the soreness that I would have later, but its really not that bad. Nothing like a tummy tuck or breast implants. More like a mnor dentist procedure where your sore for like a couple days. Best part no bruising!!!! I have sensitive areas but you have to look close maybe a faint yellow bruise but that might be the residue from the orangy sanitize stuff they put on me. Overall A++++++ excellent experience!!!! Said it would be about a month for final results. I saw a difference today a bit. If your thinking about having lipo anywhere....Dr. Hoyt is the MAN! Hahahaaa....he is great!

Hello ladies, revision went well. I woke up at 6am drank some coffee, took a shower and got ready like I normally do. I did make sure that was completwly shaved thats what I prefer anyway. Sorry(tmi). I did wear loose clothing and got there about 8:05am. Doc was running a little behind but I didn't mind...things happen. He marked me up and we agreed on taking out theold belly button scar that was left from my tummy tuck back in Aug 2014. He removed it by numbing the area and simple excising it off leaving a tiny pencil line vertical scar. I was perfectly fine with that because it was about 1/2" above the middle of my tummy tuck scar so bikini hides it. He did not cut and extend my dog ear scar. Rather he lipoed all of that and the flanks on both sides to lay that endings of the scar down flat. He also lipoed my pubic mound too. Everything went well I was awake and alert no seditive just local. He is AWESOME! I didn't feel anything except for the medicine going in which was a mere 20seconds on each flank. Easy peasy. Elana was great too. She stayed there the whole time and assisted Dr. Hoyt. I really had a great experience and I will always refer patients to him. He has traveled the world helping children from different countries with cleft lips and such. Has the canvus pics on his walls. His bedside manner is very caring and he really does his best to please you and he does it well because I can tesrify to that. If your in the area and you want a doctor who knows what he is doing, is board certified and shows his patients that he will go out of his way to help you then goto Cascade Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery Center. Emily will greet your call and sbe is super fast at returning your calls and assisting you. Elana is a saint and a very hard worker. She is always sweet and you can tell she enjoys her career. She also handles the beauty aspect of this center. Everything from bridal makeup, makeup lessons, skin from acne or aging, spray tanning and more! Julie is very nice. She handles all the financing/payment portion of it and breaks everything down for you, very imformative.

REVISION SCHEDULED!!!

I am so happy! Dr. Hoyt is doing my revision surgery on 01/23/2015!
My goal: get rid of remaining fat around my love handles/flanks by the end of my scar on both sides causing my dog ears. You can literally see the shape I would have, the contour, without my bulging sides and its awesome. I really hope he lipos that off for me. I will take a pic of it and post here tmrw so watch for that. Also he is fixing my old belly button scar that is just above the middle of my incision now. Its about 1/2" above it. I wish I could have him suck some the fat out of my "ken doll puffy pubic area" Its not bad but when your use to seeing it flat then all of a sudden BAM!!! Its unnerving to say the least. He is still an awesome doctor. I really like him and the staff. Couldn't of asked for a better group of people! Signing off....

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!!!

Thanks for updating with pictures and you look great!!! What kind of laser treatment do they do for scars? Also how do you feel from your tummy tuck surgery are you back 100% again or does it still hurt and how long did it take for it to get liveable again? I was going to do my implant removal and lift with a TT at the same time but I chickened out and just did the implant removal with capsulectomy and lift instead. As it turns out I'm kind of glad I did because that was quite painful for me and I don't know how I would have moved had I not been able to use my stomach muscles since using my arms was definitely out of the question. So now I'm still debating the TT as soon as I'm done healing from my last surgery.

The laser was a sciton laser. It was quick and easy. Like 2 minutes and you're done. You have to wear eye protection and it feels like a little zolt in the treated area. Almost like when you unplug the tv and it shocks you. Lol sounds bad but its really not a big deal and it doesn't hurt afterwards either. To answer your second question I feel GREAT! I was back to 110% I would say after 1 month. I didn't began any workouts until I was cleared from my plastic surgeon. You could go back to work in about 3 weeks if its an easy job with no lifting. I love my body. I just want my revision done so I can heal up and get ready to try on some bikinis this summer!

Thanks so much for sharing your story and pics, you look fantastic. I am scheduled for the same procedure plus a breast lift (my 49yr old bbs need more help) I am most worried right now about the tummy tuck pain and recovery and having 4 drains .

Thank you. The breast did not hurt when I woke up. It was the tummy tuck. I felt like I had been in a wreck. After taking pain meds which was oxycodine I felt a lot better. At first I had hydrocodine but it was making me itch so they had the hubby pick up the othet kind. Its crazy because I hate pain meds but I sure appreciated them during the recovery. The drains are uncomfortable and they seem like they take forever untilyou are able to get them out, and they don't all come out at once either. As far as when they take them out its not bad and it seems like you instantly feel better all around with recovery. Like its speeds up. I think you will look great.
