You look amazing! You are still very swollen and will be able to see the true results when you go down. Were you aware at all during the surgery? Lipo looks so good but the process freaks me out a bit.

Did you mean awake? If so, no. Drifted off peacefully and woke up confused, my boyfriend said. I remember asking up (after surgery) telling everyone how pretty I thought they were. Lol

Hi, just following your story... am I right in thinking you had a tummy tuck and this time round you then had an extended tummy tuck so he went from your original scar on the hips and took it round further plus lipo?

I had a tummy tuck last year and in 3 weeks I am having mine extended round as I still have loose skin on my sides, he also recommended I have some lipo but that's going to put the price up so still deciding what to do, if I don't have the lipo I may regret it and it could effect results

Yes, you are correct. I paid to get lipo on flanks and thighs but he say fit to extended and cut more skin off to give me my desired look. I love the results and I have less pain with what he chose to do.
I agree, I think if you don't get it you will regret it later on.

Thank you for the review and updates! I am almost 2 years post TT, and about to go in for Lipo to fix the boxiness too. My sides look just like your pre-op pictures! It really gives me hope looking at your photos!

update on pain

Only pain I have is in my thighs. I have to assistance when getting up from sitting or laying. I still have to walk gapped leg just a little but the pain Is very minimal maybe a 2. Pain gets better everyday I stopped my pain meds beginning of 2 week. I am in my garment all day only off long enough to shower. I do regular messages with my handheld massager and arnica gel. I can sleep on my side now but with a pillow between my legs or under knees when on my back. Bromelain really helps when swollen

I am 1 week. I think you look great. When does the pain get better. I am a nurse and on my feet. By the time I get home...I am close to tears. Getting out of a chair or bed is awful. Everyone acts like the pain is minimal....I didn't think so. I am constantly questioning my decision and I have a high pain tolerance. After 13 days...how are you feeling? Thanks
