Tummy Tuck and Back Lipo by Dr. Azurin - Coral Springs, FL

New photos
WORTH IT$9,000
Hello ladies! I looked for the photos my hubby took morning before I went into surgery and oh boy was I speechless!! I can't believe I let myself go to the point where I lost any kind of shape in my body! I took some photos today and put them next to each other to compare them. Don't let anyone tell you your weight is an excuse for poor results! I was very big, I still am big compared to my ultimate goal but my doctor did an amazing job with the lipo and TT.

Tara's girdle
@newtummy4ptc here is the picture of the girdle! So sorry for the delay posting it! Sorry about the angle I had to take it myself. Lol... They custom make it to your measurements so hopefully they can instruct you where you have to measure and ship it to you! Good luck!!

You look great. I can relate about feeling more motivated when the tummy is flat. Even though right now my eating habits have gotten kind of bad.

Thanks!! I slacked a bit this weekend but got right back on track. I think its all about balance and not completely depriving ourselves!

Thanks for the pic of the garment. I'm gonna call tomorrow to see if they ship here. Thanks again.

They do ship so now I have to go out and get the measurements they require since it's made for my body. Thanks again.

Make sure you ALWAYS wear Tara's garment. That's what i had as well. I also put the white binder tight around my waist to shape it even more. A TRICK to bring the swelling down in your back: take a small towel or a large kitchen towel & fold it up so it looks like a thick rectangle & place it on your lower back, above your butt where the swelling is & then wrap the white binder around you nice & tight. Leave it on day & night. It will help reduce the swelling by pushing down on it & you will notice your butt start to take nice shape as well- as the swelling goes down. I did this when he did my TT Nov 2012. AMAZING!!! He was the BEST!!! Miss him so much!!!

Hey!!! Thanks so much for the tip!! I will try it today. You look so amazing!! I know, I still can't believe he is gone. He made such an impact in my life, I will never ever forget him!

Btw I ordered and received the derma-roller but haven't used it yet. Im afraid to do it ( I'm such a chicken) looks like it will hurt! I also ordered the bicorneum you recommended and I already see a difference in my scar I love it!! Thanks so much for all your help!!!

When I came out of surgery, they put this white square foam on my lower back & then the white binder tight around it. It was to reduce the swelling & push in your lower back so when you heal, your butt looks lifted, fuller & nicer- if you didn't have a butt before- this is what gave you the "booty" after the TT. I've never heard of another doctor do this. Gosh, he was so smart & talented! Anyways, that foam they put on my back gave me a horrible skin allergy that he had to call in prescriptions & creams. My skin is super sensitive. I have so many allergies! It sucks. But it went away so since i couldn't wear the foam, they told me to fold up a towel & use it as the foam in the same manner. My husband now is like "Holy [RS bleep], where did that ass come from????" LOL. He loves it! You will see, once ALL your swelling is gone- you're gonna flip out in amazement of how good your butt's gonna look, too!! He completely gave me my life back. I am an entirely NEW person thanks to him!! I actually have my self esteem back, it's incredible!!! # months after he did my TT, I went back to him & did a Breast lift w/ augmentation. My goodness, he was amazing!!! Didi you see my booby pics?? The man was a genius!! I miss him so much!!!

Gosh you just look so amazing. I can't stop looking at your pics. This is how I wanted to look :'( embrace your new beautiful body babe.

Thanks so much girl! I feel so much better than before, i used to avoid buying clothes and going out now my hubby cant keep me out of the mall and i want to go do fun things I stopped doing for years! Im excited to go boating again and actually be able to wear a bikini and jump in the water with my family! Its amazing how little things can make us feel so different and happy with ourselves!
April 1, 2014
you look great! I leave this week for Miami for my TT and been keeping up with your journey as I feel some similarities in your pic and hoping for as good as a result as you have! How are you feeling this far into your recovery?
April 1, 2014
Wow how exciting!! Your big day is really close! I feel great physically and emotionally. There are days that I look at myself in the mirror and I can't believe that my big ol'belly is gone for good! The first week was the hardest from there on everything went uphill ! I really wish you the best!! Keep us updated with your journey!

15 week update
Hello ladies!
You would think the swelling would have stopped by now but it hasn't :(... I see most of it in my back. I've been having to take my garment to take in for a few weeks now but I've just been too busy. Hopefully I'll make it this weekend, Im hoping the tighter it is the less swelling I will see. Im very happy with my results, I will be forever grateful to my doctor ( may he rest in peace)

You are looking good girl! What kind of garment are you wearing? I'm using the Velcro wrap around the doctor gave me but I don't wear it all the time b/c it rises up around the waist. Your contoured waist & flat tummy look so good. He did a wonderful job! Take care.
March 25, 2014
Thanks!!! I wear a full body garment, from my shoulders to my knees ( covers my breasts also so i don't have to wear a bra). I'll post a pic so you can see it later on today. I bought it from Tara's Girdles I don't know if they ship but I can tell you that it's definitely worth every penny ( $214 with tax). I also have other colombian girdles that look similar and do the job and are cheaper( around $80-$120) but are not comfortable enough to have on 24/7 like we are supposed to wear these. The girdles from Tara are very soft on the inside making it easier to stand wearing it all day and night! I think overall it's a great small investment I plan to wear mine 24/7 till my 6 month mark, then between 8-12 hrs a day. Btw You are looking awesome!!!! I just saw your new pics and yayy!!! You are doing great!! Continue happy healing and let me know if you have any questions that I may be able to help with!
March 25, 2014
oh and I also wear the velcro over my garment, most of the time. It really helps shape your waist.
March 25, 2014
Thanks. I went online to check it out. I think I saw the 1 you have. I will wait for you to post the pic to confirm. I will have to check and see if they ship them or not. I hope so. I want a waist like yours lol and thanks I'm coming along quite well.
March 31, 2014
Girl you are looking soooo awesome! Looks like we both put an ear in our belly button. Lol love your flat flat belly!!!!
March 31, 2014
Thanks girl!! Yeah, It's so much easier than putting cotton! Looks like you've lost more weight in your pics! I wish you the best to continue recovering!! Continue to speak up, like you said don't let anyone here or anywhere keep you from expressing how you feel!! I wish you ladies the best finding a solution to the issues you are facing with your doctor!
March 31, 2014
Thank you so much for your support! :)
Keep up the good work, your body is rocking!!!
March 31, 2014
Wow! Your tummy is how i dream that mine will look! Wish your doctor toured, lol. Safe healing:)
March 31, 2014
Oh dear, I just read that your doctor passed, so sorry!
March 31, 2014
I know, such a sad loss! I still don't believe it sometimes. He was amazing, no one could touch his work. May he rest in peace!
