Slim Lipo to Abdomen, Flanks and Lower Back - Boston

WORTH IT$9,500
I'm updating this review because 4 years later, I did end up getting a full tummy tuck (which I reviewed in the tummy tuck section). I don't regret the lipo as a first step, and at the time, I was really scared of a big surgery and the drains, pain pump etc and not ready to make the commitment. Since 2011, new drugs & technology has evolved and the process is a lot easier so I decided to try it. On December 11, I underwent a drainless tummy tuck with Exparel and I would say the recovery has been the same as (maybe even easier than) smart lipo. For those of you who were like me, a better candidate for tummy tuck, I would strongly encourage you to consider looking into these newer techniques.

Sure, you can see my full review from my profile. I ended up moving to NC since this was done so in the end, tummy tuck was cheaper than lipo in Boston area. Price was $8500 Dr. Pyle.

I loved reading your interaction between one another. I had a full tummy tuck because my stomach looked liked Freddy Krugers face. I live in Medford Oregon cost of TT is 7,200$ but they add " free" or in other words part of procedure for a TT here is lipo in the flank areas. Can you believe 11 days post opp & most my pain still remains from the lipo. I want to sleep on my side so bad. My results yesterday after waiting 9 days to shower :( ( gross I know) Were amazing. I keep taking random photos & had my husband take one. He looked down on his screen & said OMG babe you have got to see this! I was slim! As in my mommy pouch was gone!!! With all the pain & my drainage tubes getting removed I knew it was getting better but it was on thanksgiving day to top it off! I read online a women drove her car 9 days after a TT. I woke up after surgery at 2:00 went under at 10:00 and the first three things I barely whispered was " help" " hurts" and " mistake" to fallow were I want to die, hurts, mistake mistake so stupid! I also got a breast augmentation. 13 grand. Called a mommy make over so I also felt like I had a weight on my chest making each breath impossible to waist on speech. The ride home I cursed the road never noticing all the bumps before lol lol. A friend helped the first night who had a tummy tuck ( for some reason a friend no more after one night) anyways I asked her if it was worth it? She said yes & that she would do it again. I didn't think I'd make it through the first night alive. Zofran is not the AVG anti nausea medication they give BUT IF YOU WANT TO TRUST A MOTHER WHO HAD TO PREG TWO MISS CARRIAGES AND KNOWS ABOUT NAUSEA THIS WORKS! No way could I of ever made it with out Zofran. You didn't take any pain killers for your lipo I'm highly impressed as I'm
On a 2 hour tight regimen or SOL till I catch up. My doctor went on vacation till Dec 5th I had my procedure on the 14th of November! I'm not happy about this at all :( :( I feel the scar will be worth it because I'll just get a tattoo over it or maybe not! My stomach walls separated so they pulled those back together & my wrinkled belly button is gone! If your thinking of getting a Tummy Tuck it's worth it. Not much swelling though there is some. You have to stay on top of cleaning your wounds/dressings. Can't stand up straight for two weeks. I still have some stretch marks but I see now it really was that pouch & wrinkled belly button that bothered me the most. Congrats to you two ladies for making it through what sounds to be a painful & frustrating journey. I came upon this post when I was trying to find out why my lipo was hurting more then anything else. They do this to avoid muffin top and shape your body better. If your happy with your belly button a partial or mini tummy tuck is always an option. :) April Marie Miller Medford Oregon. A lil bit of my own story on a tummy tuck that had lipo

6 month update. My weight has stabilized at 128 lbs and I'm officially a size 2. At 10 weeks I was really happy and I know that they say it would get better, but I didn't really think it would need to. It was only when I compared my 6 month pictures to my 10 weeks that I was like wow- the skin really has tightened and I can see the swelling has gone down. I cannot possibly overstate how happy I am to have gone through with this.

Thanks for sharing! What doctor did your surgery? I'm thinking of doing the same and feel overwhelmed with how to find a great surgeon. I am also in the Boston area.

Dr. Hamori in Duxbury did it- highly, highly recommended. Good luck!
