I first went and to all of this just wanting to get cool sculpt LIPO done. After seeing a few clinics that did the procedure and them telling me that I was not a candidate because it will make my skin worse, & that I would need a tuck, I decided to look at peoples videos on YouTube for tummy tuck procedures. Thank goodness I came across JazzyRachel because she mentioned in her video that anyone looking for this type of procedure should go on real self.com to look at certified providers in your area. When I came on this site to check it out I found Dr. Keshav Magge and that he was highly rated and only about an hour and a half from me. I made my consultation appointment with him and his demeanor and knowledge of the procedures I wanted really made me feel comfortable being there and choosing him. The staff at the office is all great and friendly and there for you from beginning to end. It was a lot for me to process so quickly going from thinking I would need a little laser lipo to something as drastic as a $12,000 tummy tuck with muscle tightening and liposuction all in 3 months but Dr. Magge made me feel confident with my decision. I booked my surgery date right at my consultation visit. My next appointment was my pre-op. I went over everything from what I can and can't do 2 weeks prior and what I needed for after surgery. All of my lab work came back perfect and I was anxiously waiting my surgery date. I was nervous the morning of but really just anxious to see how I looked after! My surgery went great. I went home with a pain pump and 1 drain as well as a compression garment. I honestly cried the second day because of the pain and because my kids weren't there with me. My daughters 7 and my son is 3 so my parents had them while my best friend stayed with me for 5 nights. I ate well and stayed hydrated. I only
sponge bathed until my drain came out. I used a walker the first few days to get around until I could stand all the way because it was a huge strain on my back. After my first week went by and my appointment came, and I got to get my drain out and garment off I felt much better. I am now 2 weeks post-op. I still hurt on my sides where the lipo was done but my stomach pain is gone and I'm finally coming around to being me. I use a silicone strip on my incision that I got from the office and use the binder as well through the day. I do notice if I do too much my body lets me know quickly and I will take a long nap following my activity. I'm very excited to see my results at my 6 week mark and beyond and wish everyone out there looking to get this procedure done luck, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. ????

Hi, first off you look great already! I can't wait to see more results for you if you already look this good! I'm having the same procedure done June 2nd. So seeing your results makes me excited! Just curious where you had fat grafting done? I'm having it put into my butt, so I'm trying to find someone you had this procedure done and can give advice on comfort, sleep, ect for after.

Thank you!! Yes I had it in my butt. The advice I can give you is sleep on your side with a pillow in between your legs. It is not comfortable I'm not going to lie! My sides hurt all the time. Also I found a website called booty buddy. They sell a pillow just for BBL. It's about $86. I couldn't find it anywhere else cheaper. My Dr said some of the fat from BBL gets absorbed back into your body naturally so I'm fine with that. Just wanted to add a little more to the butt I already had and wanted it to look natural. Any other questions let me know and good luck with your surgery!

You look awesome! I have a question,,, do you find that you have put on weight anywhere else after surgery that you previously didn't carry before? I am scheduled for early Aug and I am still "on the fence" about it because of weight coming out in other places. Also,,, how is your pain now? Thank you and take good care.

Thank you! The results are amazing. I feel now like I never had anything done. When I initially had the procedure done I was worried because I wasn't use to my "new stomach" and I thought I was never going to be able to breath right or stand up again. Now I can't remember how my old stomach use to feel. It's great. I have not gained any weight at all and honestly I just watch what I eat. This summers been crazy busy for me so I have not been able to work out at all but I will be starting a workout plan at least 3 x a week starting in August. I'm getting married next May so I would like to get toned in other areas for that. Good luck with you procedure! Please let me know if you gave anymore questions.
