After being on the fence for the past 3 years, I finally made a decision to have a tt and breast lift with Dr. Salama-ELite Plastic Surgery. The entire process from consultation to surgery day was an amazing and pleasant experience! Nancy and Naomi who secured my payment and surgery date were a dream to work with. Both ladies were very competent, professional, and courteous throughout the process. The Dr. himself was very kind, patient, knowledgeable and reassuring. I placed both my life and body in his hands with full confidence in his abilities to work wonders! The anesthesiologist was also very kind, soothing, and professional. He removed any lingering anxiety I had about the surgery. Results were instantaneous!!! I woke up with a flat stomach, zero love handles and a small waist! Dr. Salama exceeded my expectations! I've seen post op pictures of tummy tucks and I've rarely come across a photo in which the the abs looked so perfect immediately following surgery or even a few months later. The girls always looked like they still had a bit of muffin top going on. I literally woke up looking like I've been going to the gym my whole life! Incredible indeed! My breasts also look amazing! I got a lift w/out implants and was a little worried that my breast would end up small and unattractive, but the good doctor gave my breasts LIFE!!! They're beautifull! They look like perfect peaches! Perky and my nipples and areola that were enlarged as a result of breastfeeding were reduced significantly. Looking at my breast today, you would never know their history! I'm in love!!! Thank you Dr. Salama and Elite Team!

Can Someone Please Tell Me When I Can Expect the Swelling to Subside?

So I just realized that today puts me at 19 weeks post op. That's 1 week shy of my 5th month surgeriversary. I'm still dealing with swelling in both the upper and lower abdomen (I really hope it's swelling), but my waist is still small so I guess I'm ok.... I'm so confused! I'm still a size s top and size 8 pants although I have gained back a little of the weight I loss. The only things can suggest is to definitely maintain pick up some good eating/exercising habits. I love food too much to go on a diet, but I'm so scared that my tummy is trying to come back. ???? I posted my pics from today...

I'm 5 years post TT and for the last year I have not seen the inside of a gym. I have gained 10lbs, which is not bad for 5 years. I say that because even though I gained weight, my stomach did not get much bigger. I gained weight in my arms and thighs. I maintained my figure but just a tad bigger... BTW, you still look great!!
Thanks, I just hope it's swelling and not fat.
I'm just over 6 months post op and still have some swelling, not much but still some so don't worry it will come. I found that following a lower carb, more protein, less calories, low salt really helps, boring but helps a great deal. I have decided to not worry too much over the swelling and sit into this being a year long process.
Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it!
You are welcome, keep your chin up, it is not a quick process by any means! :)
You still look great... yes I see a little swealling, but could also be bloating which is different and I hear you on the diet and food front. watch out for things like your fiber intake... too low, eat a high fiber to keep you regular, your water intake? and be careful with sodium. Stay strong your doing great.
Thanks a lot. I'm trying, but I've never had healthy eating habits.
