Very Happy with my Tummy Tuck - Bay City, MI

Lipo Torso and Thighs - Saginaw, MI

It is possible that you may need a touch up in that area. I had lipo of my torso and hips/flanks and inner and outer thighs in April. I had a noticeable difference on my right love handle. Still very swollen, but the bruises appear to be in the right area. My touch up was yesterday He took out an additional 400cc's on the left and 600cc's on the right...it was at no charge except for my $75.00 copay for the surgical procedure, not sure how he pulled that off so I would not have to pay the full outpatient surgical center portion. Good luck to you and keep us posted It had only been 2 months from my origional surgery, but both the Dr and I thougth I was about where I would be from the origional surgery, and there was no need to wait more time to see if things would change. But I have decided that this is it....what ever the out come I can live with it for now.

Tomorrow I am having lipo on my torso, which will include my flanks sides and a bit on my belly. Also lipo on my thighs...so excited and nervous at the same time. But much better prepared this time. Also a new doctor. I had a slight separation near my naval which kinda bulges I am getting that fixed

This week I will go in for my 3 month post op appointment and pictures.....I still feel a bit swollen at the end of the day. Still also feel some core weakness when I go from laying to sitting position. I am a little concerned with my naval it is just a tiny hole, looks like a balloon knot, I wonder if a little touch up is necessary. I also plan on asking about some lipo for my love handles, kicking myself in the butt for not having it done with my TT, honestly I just didn't think of it at the time. Ignorance on my part, I wish I would have found this site pre op!!! My total weight loss since just prior to my surgery is about 13 pounds YAY. That is from eating better too, not dieting, just avoiding fats. I am also going thru menopause which is a battle in itself, because fat wants to attach to you during this wonderful time in our lives...UGG. I am using a small dose of estrogen replacement, but it is a patch and that you put on weekly, well the darn thing rarely stays on a week!!! Will keep you posted on my progress and the outcome from my 3 month follow up and my plan for Lipo!!

I must be a huge baby!! I stayed off work for 7 weeks, I did not go back until after my 6 week post op appt. I really felt run down for the first 4 weeks, and really wanted to feel normal when I went back to work, and the first week back was rough, I was tired, sore and swollen after sitting and standing all day. I am now 10 weeks post op and I do feel really good, I still feel some pulling around my naval, but for the most part I feel good. I wish you well with your recovery and hope that you get enough rest and don't over do it, you only get once chance to heal!!

Thank you for the encouragement, I have been back to work 3 weeks now...time goes so fast. I am starting to feel less irritation around my naval YAY! I have been riding my bike for exercise, and doing the stairs at work every chance I get to get things moving. My treadmill is in our garage and it is so darn hot in there that I can't get myself on it!! But I really feel human again. I am watching everything I put in my mouth....nothing fried and very low fat foods. I am very determined to get rid of 10 more pounds then I my love handles are still big I want to have some lipo of that area, hoping I can have it done in my doctors office. I see him again in 3 weeks and plan to inquire about it then. Again thanks for the encouragement!
