WORTH IT$12,000
After losing 80 pounds from diet and exercise I decided it was time to take care of all the loose skin. I met with Dr. Malhotra in Ann Arbor and he explained that the extended tummy tuck was the way to go. I set up my date and did all of my research. I am 6 days post op today and feeling amazing. While I do still have a good amount of swelling the scars are already looking great. I would recommend this type of tummy tuck to anyone! While the scars are larger than your standard tummy tuck, I felt it was worth it to have a more hour glass shape.

Really swollen today
dhalsteadSeptember 8, 2013
Well I am really swollen today and feeling the discomfort! It felt like my skin was on fire today and that my stomach was going to burst! I must have overdone it today and should probably slow down. The portion above my belly button looks really puffy and seems to stick out further then the rest of my stomach. I am waiting to see if that is just swelling from Lipo of if maybe I need to have more skin removed.

Hi looks great. I had mine done 8 weeks ago but only with vertical scar up to belly button very happy with results but might need to get upper done as now have lose skin after lipo. PS said he would do this as revision. How does your top scar feel? Is it healing well and is your top tummy nice and tight. Got to wait at least another 3 months before I consider it. Not sure. Keep comfortable and keep in touch. Rest and relax xxxxx

The upper scar is healing great. I'm not sure it is as tight as I would like it and doc said that he may need to take a little more skin off but I have to wait for the swelling to go down first! How are you feeling after 8 weeks, has most of the swelling gone down?

Feel great only swell a little know, lower tummy flat just a little bulge in upper but think it is only skin and wonder whether to have it cut away but don't know what upper scar looks like is yours healing OK and are you happy? Don't worry swelling will get less and less its great. My weight is still 59 kilos that has not changed at all but that's fine but my waist has as jeans size UK 10 are lose. I don't mind the size as is ok but don't know what to do about upper it's still early days and will wait another few months do keep me posted p,ease as to how you are doing and about upper tummy. Look after yourself and rest it's the best healer!!!!!! Xxxx
