35 Yr Old Mom of 2 Yr Old - No Drain TT w/ MR, flank and inner thigh Lipo

Hi everyone, after visiting four wonderful doctors, I finally decided on Dr. Harlan Pollock to do my tummy tuck. To be honest, when I started my quest I wanted lipo and had no idea what a drainless tummy tuck was. I decided to chronical my experience in hopes it will help someone else decide. My reason for choosing drainless is because the claim is that recovery will be quicker and I won't have to be hunched over. I have a two year old son so quick recovery is most important. But for him I would have chosen Dr. Perry Landon who almost talked me out of cosmetic surgery because he was so honest and empathetic.
Monday is my pre-op, two weeks prior. Can't wait.

Went to my preop today and I guess it's official now since I paid. LOL. Had a long list of questions which the nurse answered even before the PS came in. I really like the nurse, Kim, she is easy to talk to. They also gave me a lot of written instructions which I really appreciate. The only thing that surprised me was that it says light activity starting Day 1. I had planned to stay in bed the first day and just sleep however this is not recommended. Not sure what I'll do or what " light activity" is. Any advice from the RS community would be appreciated.

Can't wait to see your results. I am too scheduled for drainless TT with Lipo with Dr. Anotinetti who is located in Plano. I had a consultation with Dr. Pollock but when I met Dr. Antoinetti, I was impressed and loved him. But I have heard wonderful things about Dr. Pollock as well. I wish you well.

I'm thinking about asking my surgeon what he thinks about inner thigh lipo. I can't see what your inner thigh looks like post op. Let me know what u think or suggest about it after you have your procedure.

I can't wait either. My legs are huge and it was only $1500 more so I figured what the heck. My inner thighs are flabby but my outer thighs are solid. They says they can remove only what can be pinched. I'll post plenty of pics so you can see if it's with it.

Hi Tobethin, so happy more and more patients of The Dr. Pollock Father and son team are writing reviews here on RS. It is frustrating and a little scary to decide to go with a doctor who shows no before or after pictures on his website and only showed me one patient's photo during consultation. I am also going to have the drainless TT this coming December so I will surely be following your journey. I will also do a detailed review on my experience with Dr. Todd Pollock and my procedures. Best of luck and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

hi gotenk, can't wait to see your pics. :) I hear what you are saying but I actually saw that as a plus when I was visiting doctors. I'm not sure it's ethical to post our naked pictures on their websites. if I'm going to be naked on someone's website I want to be paid for it. LOL. I did see many before and after pics in his office which I appreciated. Thanks for your comments and your prayers. my prayers are with you as well.
