Early 40's, 1 Child, Tummy Tuck & BA - Charleston, SC

I was overweight before I had my child. After a very difficult c-section and birth, I lost a lot of weight and got very fit, but could do nothing about the "love handles", extra skin or the stretch marks that remained. I have always been very subconscious about them. I have also always wanted larger breasts that were more proportionate to my body. I have wanted to do this for a long time and finally get the chance to feel more confident in my body! Thanks to the wonderful people on this site and a lot of research, I know what to expect and chose Dr. Schimpf for my surgery. He is pretty confident that most of the stretch marks and scars will be gone and that my breasts will look very good on me:) I am both nervous and excited about tomorrow and am ready to get this done! I will be doing a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, liposuction of the flanks, and a BA with 450cc high profile saline under the muscle. I will definitely post how everything goes, as well as after pics.

I'm very sore and swollen right now, but from what I can see so far, it looks like Dr. schimpf's reputation is right on the money. I'm very excited at the thought of the final results.
I've been having an extraordinary amount of bruising, including the genitals and a lot of low blood pressure. I've had to take my garment off several times for a while to prevent passing out. Besides that, it has not been horrible dealing with the surgery. The office was really good about getting me a script for nausea and a refill for my pain meds. They are very kind and considerate in his office
I ended up with 420cc instead of 450, but I think they look good. I'm not sure why it changed since I was so out of it after surgery, but I'll ask at my follow up apt tomorrow.
I have 1 drain and there is barely any drainage coming out. I have a feeling they may take away the drain tomorrow. Everything seems to be going well and on schedule.

Everything went well at the office. Everything looks good and is healing well. My drain came out today! Woohoo! Going to try to sleep in the bed tonight. We'll see how it goes. I am still extremely swollen right now, but can't tell you how amazing it is to look at my tummy and see all those scars and stretch marks gone. I'm very happy with the way everything has gone with the surgery and the care from Dr. Schimpf's office. I would recommend them to anyone.
