Full Tummy Tuck, full lipo and Muscle Repair!!!!! - Columbus, GA

Thank you! I complained early on but the revision was free.

Did he do it in his surgical center or in his office?

he did it in one of the office rooms.

That's what I thought. Did it hurt! Dr apt went great he took stiches out of my belly button told me to remove drain next Monday. What I pulled yesterday feels better today.

I was nervous but actually the only thing hurted was the needs in was sticking in to deaden the areas & that was on each side. He also placed an IV in my arm really fast & I woke up maybe 20 min later. It was quick. I was really sore the first week. Take it easy & take care of your body.

I have been trying to take it easy this Wednesday marks 3 weeks. My job is getting mad they want me back to work but my job is very physical. I am a lead cashier so I do a lot of bagging bending etc

Dr. Cochran is great when it comes to the tummy tucks so there is no need to worry. If your flanks are a concern make sure that you address it at pre-op & the day of surgery. I felt as if he didn't get enough fat out on the flank area but he was willing to do a revision a year later. That speaks volumes. Good luck!

Thanks so do you! Dr. Miami did a awesome job on you I can't wait to see updated pics.

So do you & Thanks!!!

I think you look awesome. I may have dr Cochran lipo my hips more once I have passed the 6 month mark. One thing that is driving me crazy is my privates a still swollen but I work on my feet 7/12 hours a day. Ugh

Thanks!

Thank you!

Your tummy tuck looks great too!

Your tummy tuck looks awesome too. What are you using for scar revision? @forever19

Thank you! I have not started using any specific scar treatment yet. I just put a basic lotion (nothing perfume) on it. And also massage regularly. You?

I used bio-oil for about 5 months and now I'm trying scar guard hopefully it will improve my scars.

My doctor has not specifically mentioned any recommendations in this area. I have another check up next week so planned on asking then. The scars on my sides are thin and flat already. The scar in the middle is still pretty thick. But I'm only 3 weeks so not too worried as I have been told it can take up to a year before your scar looks good . And I have a back up plan. I love tattoos (have 3 already) but they are definitely not for everyone. But if I am not digging the scar at the year mark, I will get a sexy tat across the area:)

I'm sure they will be Dr. Cochran knows how to tighten & flatten the heck out of your tummy. You will be fabulous. Good luck!

Thank you! Good luck on your surgery.

Yes, I'm at 6 months post op & I still have to wear my garments a few hours a day. It helps to keep from swelling after long periods of the day.

Yeah I did notice that, any idea when that'll be over? I took mine off for 48 hours and my stomach was bulky and disgusting

Your still in the early stages so don't do that again. Only leave it off for an hour or two because if you do anything longer it starts to swell up again 48hrs was just to long. I can imagine how you must of felt. Keep your tummy wrapped up at all times.

Ok! Will do

Thanks!

I'm back working out after three months but I still have to keep my stomach wrapped because the MR & tighening that still pulls & tugs.

Thank you!

Do it! He's awsome. Someone else shared her story on RS by Dr. C and that sealed the deal for me.

Thank you! You will be in great hands that's for sure.
