My tummy tuck is scheduled for January 6,2016. I am excited, terrified, anxious.. Everything! The surgeon who performed my breast augmentation is the same for the tummy tuck. I opted not to get lipo with it as I would like to keep the width of my hips since my wide hips were what prompted me to get my breast implants. I'm confident that Dr. Freedland will work wonders again!

I am going for my first consult with Dr. Freedland in early October. I too am wanting a tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks. If you don't mind my asking what is your height and weight, your body looks very much like mine. I am 5'6"- 140lbs. I also have wide hips and augmented breasts.

I am 5'3", unknown weight. I don't weigh myself but I'm currently a size 8

Did you go to any other Surgeons in the Detroit area, for consultations? I have heard Dr. Freedlands ad on the radio and have checked reviews on RatemyMD.com. I am also going to Dr. Melek Kayser for a consult because his reviews were very good as well. I would like to consult with 1 more but I am not sure who else to go to. I found out that Dr. Anthony Youn has a 2 year waiting list but I don't want to wait that long.

Oh I forgot to ask if you did go to other PS what is the reason you chose Dr. Freedland? Thanks!

Dr freedland did my breast augmentation two years ago. I didn't consult anyone else regarding my tummy tuck because I already know how well he does his job.

Sandi7, you look great! It doesn't even appear that you are in pain! So, how was pain? I'm going in next Wednesday and am starting to get very nervous! Also, I noticed in your after pics you had a fanny pack? Did your dr. give that to you, or did you buy it. Great idea!

The fanny pack came with my pain pump, and after they removed the pain pump, the doctor let me keep it to put my drain in.

Thanks! How have you been with pain? And the binder you bought after, was just a wrap around your waist one? Did you purchase granny panties to wear so they covered incision, or would it be better to have panties that sit below it?

It's just a wrap one, I like that style since I swell at times. I am not wearing any underwear at this time but when I tried my underwear on, it covers my incision

Hey Sweety,
Just wanted to applaud you for sharing your photos and your journey. You and I had the same procedures from the same Doctor but my surgery was done on the 14 of January and I still can't bring myself to look at it or take pics but i did look at yours so i have an idea about whats going on under the bandages...just too squeamish.
You look great. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Don't be scared to look. I'm really squeamish about blood and I did OK. It's not as bad as you think, I promise!

I'm still not sure about lipo vs no lipo. I don't want it if I don't really need it. Opinions are definitely appreciated!

Great result. What size Breast did you get?

I'm still unsure of the lipo. I don't want to look perfect. I want to wear pants without tucking my stomach in. I want to wear dresses and look like a human being. Even if it's a slightly flawed one.

I'm on the same page as you. Not sure if I want to get lipo with my tt cuz i dont want to loose my hips. I just did a bbl. So, if I loose the hips I will be devastated. What has been the advice of your dr?

Sandi7

August 26, 2015

My doctor left it up to me. When I had my breast augmentation two years ago he did the same about a lift, he gave me the info and let me decide. I chose not to have the lift and love those results

I'm so undecided, I do want my waist to be lipoed so it can be smaller. But worried about the flanks cuz it takes from ur hips. I will have to wait and discuss with my dr when I go for my surgery. I elected to have mine out of state so I will have to wait for my consultation which is scheduled in oct.

If your surgeon is skilled and listens to you, you will be very happy with lipo. It's all about contouring. Love your shape- you will look gorgeous!
