Zero complications. Minimal pain. I am stiff and tight if I stay in the same position too long. I plan to stay mostly sedentary and to keep the compression garment on for at least another two weeks. I am ready and motivated to get back to yoga, but I know I am not ready. All of my incisions are scab free except at the t-junction in my groin, so I am using silicon tape across all of my scars except the t-junction. I have been using dry gauze around my t-junction and belly button since these areas stay moist.
I have enjoyed trying on old clothes from my closet that (previously) didn’t fit well. Hard to resist the urge to buy new clothes, but I want to wait a few more months while my body continues to change. My compression garment is easy to wear under jeans, capris and dresses, so I have been getting dressed most days.

You look amazing. I may take out a loan and have this done !!

This is very exciting and encouraging! I waffle back and forth whether I'm worth the money it is going to take to have this done, and does it really matter, etc. But seeing your progress makes me believe that yes, it is, and I am, worth it. Thanks for sharing!

I know it’s a very personal decision, but you are very much worth any investment you want to make in yourself. I am more and more in love with myself every day, and there is no dollar amount that can be placed on that value.

I had a thighlift 3 weeks ago, my scars are raised and purple. Are you doing any scartreatment.
May 2, 2019
I started once all my incisions were closed. I’m using silicon tape and massage. I buy the mirapex silicon tape from Amazon.

I do not find Mirapex tape on amazon... did they stop selling it or is your spelling a typo? I am going in for multiple procedures including a circumferential LBL in January with Dr Fisher. I LOVE reading about others experiences!

Marena Group’s Recovery Garment (Post Surgery Compression Garment). It is listed on their website as Girdle High Back Capri Length. If you send me a message, I can and you a link.

Hi, you look great, congrats,! I have been losing weight over the last few years then gained some back the beginning of this year bc I kinda gave up for at that time. But now, I'm losing the extra weight I gained back and I would like to eventually go forward with surgery to remove skin. I will need a lower body lift, thigh lift, and probably breast lift.
What is your height? What was your weight when you decided to have skin removal surgery and what was your highest weight ? I'm 5'4 and my highest weight was about 230 and my weight now is about 170. I'm not sure what weight I should get to for surgery. I know once the extra skin and tissue is removed that will make a big difference in my size and shape. I have a lot stretch marks around my waste line and at my belly button to lower stomach. Did you have a lot ? If so, did the surgery remove a lot of them?
Are you happy with the results of your tummy tuck ? Is it staying flat and tight? I noticed you had the upper fat and bulge in your belly before surgery. I have that too. I even had one ps tell me a fluer de lis tummy tuck with the vertical scar is best for that. Which I do not want bc of the long scar down your stomach! It looks like your tummy tuck took care of that good though? Thanks for your time

Day 18 - I slept in my bed completely flat.
Day 19 - Most of my incisions are scab free after my shower. I gently use a wash rag over my incisions, and what few scabs were left are pulling free. I’m using lotions/Vaseline on my incisions since my skin is dryer than before surgery.
Day 21 - At dinner, I realized that I had not used any Tylenol today. I have a bit more swelling directly above the mons area since this is where my compression garment is loosest. I ordered an ab board from Amazon to help give the area some pressure. I wore it under my compression garment for about 12 hours today. It isn’t incredibly comfortable, but it did seem to help the tenderness I’m feeling in that area. I’m standing completely straight. I’ve been getting dressed the last few days, and I’m thrilled!

Wow! I'm still in awe of your transformation. Tbh, I saw Dr Fisher's TT's a couple of years back and I wasn't impressed (but i was with his arm and thigh lifts). Now seeing your TT I gotta say he either has changed his technique or there was just no pics similar to your TT (but i've been outta the game for a while too). Very nice! I bet you're on cloud 9!

Thank you! I’m super happy. One of the things that impressed me about Dr. Fisher is that he talked to me about his own improvements over the years. He wants people to be happy, so if you talk to him about what you want, he does a good job about balancing desires with the best outcomes. The day before surgery, I was marked. The morning of surgery, I asked him if I could ask for a change. I asked him to move my incision an inch lower. When I saw him 8 days after discharge without my dressing coverings, he asked me if I saw that he lowered the incision. I could tell that he wanted to make me happy. It was one of those moments that reminded me that he is not only talented, but a just a great guy. I have never looked at his tummy tucks as a stand alone procedure. I always look at them as part of a lower body lift, and I do not always like his incision lines. I am very happy with my own, so I’m glad I asked him.
