Almost 12 weeks out.

Well this Wednesday will be 12 weeks for me. I have healed so well!! My arms are still very sensitive but I knew it was going to be a while for them to heal. I still wear my compression garment for my tummy and sleeves for my arms. Started lymphatic massages last week. Not sure about them but I signed up for 8 of them. It can’t hurt I guess. I am just so thankful I chose Dr. Crantford for my surgeon. I don’t believe I could have chosen better. I will update later after my dr visit.

If you still have swelling in your arms , the lymphatic drainage procedures should be very beneficial. Make sure the therapist gives you a lot of information and demonstration for you to continue and maximize your body’s ability to remove the extra fluid. Great progress so far, keep up the wonderful attitude and compression to enhance your healing. We keep changing for up to 2 years for scars and soft tissue

Healing up nicely

pandabear10358
Well it’s been almost 6 weeks. I am feeling so good. My arms are finally healing up nicely. I go to see Dr. Crantford this Tuesday for my 6 week checkup. I still am wearing my sleeves and compression bodysuit. A lot of the stitches on my arms have worked themselves out and were quite sore but that has healed up now. I can’t get over how amazing my scars look. The scar for my TT has never bothered me at all. I had no trouble with my Abdominoplasty at all. Simply amazing. I can’t recommend Dr. Crantford’s practice highly enough plus his staff.

Amazing Experience

pandabear10358

Best experience ever for being nervous and anxious about doing such an in depth surgery. He is amazingly talented and caring. Don’t let his young age fool you he is experienced in his field. I would do it all over again in his center. His staff is equally caring and attentive and simply loving.

You look amazing!! I live in moncks corner SC so im right down the road from you lol! Ive been wanting to get a tt for a long time now. Im so afraid of the pain!. Dr Widenhouse of Port City Plastic Surgery in charleston did my breast lift/w implants a few yrs ago. I love them!! I hope you continue to heal just perfectly. Keep us updated. I will follow your journey. I feel encouraged and inspired by you!

Thank you so much. I love Dr. Crantford and his team!! The pain for the TT was really nothing what I thought it was going to be. Seriously I couldn’t be happier with my results. I will post some new pictures soon.

You look great! May I ask your age? I’m 50 and I’m really wanting to get a tummy tuck. I’m just afraid I’m too old. Thank you!

No way!!! Never to old. I am 62. Dr. Crantford said he has done women in their 70’s because that was the way I felt. Is it worth it. It totally is. Do it for yourself. He did an amazing surgery on me. I would do it all over. As a matter of fact I am hoping to do my legs this fall. It will be life transforming for you. Thanks for your compliment. I wish you all the best on your journey. Good luck and know you are worth it.
