WORTH IT$7,500
I had surgery on Monday August 1st. I was a bit scared the days following the surgery and wasn't sure what to expect.
The day of the surgery my husband came along with me. Let me tell you it is nothing like you expect or imagine. Everything happens so fast and next thing you know your awake feeling oozy and talking non sense with a flat tummy and drains coming out of your abdomen.
The pain has not been anything compared to what I was led to believe I would feel. My pain rated on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the worse) would be a 2 =) it's not as bad as you think!! If I would of known it wasn't this bad I would have done this years ago.

Wow I'm so happy for you! I wanna get a TT done somtime next month. I just recently found out that I have a bunion on my right foot and it's been hurting a lot! So I went to see a podiatrist and told me that I could get it remove by doing surgery. He told me that I have to wear a boot for 8 weeks and recovery is about 3weeks. I'm a self employed and I thought since I'm gonna be off work for awhile mine as well to the tummy tuck too! Do you know if that's a good idea to get my bunion surgery done then after 2 weeks do the TT? Or vice versa?

It has been 6 months since my surgery and I feel amazing. I have dropped down from 135lbs (day after my surgery) to 128lbs. I don't know if the sweeling had anything to do with it. I love my results, I'm starting to get my sensation back around my belly button and my tummy is flat as a board.

Wow! You look beautiful. Who was your surgeon, if you don't mind me asking? I've looked at a few surgeons in Newport Beach..just trying to do all the research I can to get results like yours :)

Thank you so much. I feel like a teenager again. I went to Dr. Ali Sajjadian in New Port Beach. He's an amazing Dr. My little sister just had breast augmentation on Feb 3rd and looks gorgeous.

It's been 9 months since my surgery and whoa......
It's been 9 months since my surgery and whoa... time flies!! I'm still at my 128 lbs. my scar is so much lighter in some places. I have mostly all my sensation back yay!! I tried doing sit ups the other day and it caused a little discomfort but other than that I am truly amazed at my results, I feel sexy, young and most of all I'm super confident about my body. Now I'm looking into having breast augmentation =) I can't wait!!

Thanks Lil Gigi :) No I didn't do anything to it :) When I first had my consultation that was one of my main concerns. My Dr. assured me that my belly button would look natural since he was doing a new technique where he would make it look more natural.

You look AMAZING! Glad it was an easy process for you. I am surprised that sit ups caused discomfort this far down the road, but I guess that makes sense. Did you have muscle work done as well or just skin? I work out regularly and not being able to do that is tough. I feel yucky, when I should be feeling sexy because my tummy looks so much better! Lol, figures! I had complications, so I am nowhere near even being able to walk on a treadmill, but the time will come.
