Im 51 5'1, 120 pounds.
I'm only 5 days post but so far I'm very happy with the way it looks. Was not expecting the pain I'm experiencing. My back is hurting so bad from being bent over. And I feel like something is crawling inside me where my drainage tubes are. I go tomorrow to get them out. Hopefully. I will attach some pictures I did today

Did you have muscle repair and lipo as well? You look great! I go for my "mini" next week.
Excited and nervous! Thanks for posting!

No Muscle Repair. But yes to the lipo. That seems to be the evil in this procedure. The lipo is what's causing me the pain.

I hope you get your drains out tomorrow! If they are slowing down that's a good sign. So sorry for all the pain. Are you taking the pain meds? I can imagine being bruised all over would be painful too. Eat some pineapple. It has lots of Bromine which helps with swelling and bruising.

I got drains out today. That helped with some discomfort. I put up a video of the drains being removed. It wasn't as bad as I expected. I did do the pineapple too. Drs office told me about that

Ouch! Thanks for the video! Looks painful but glad it wasn't so bad for you. I'm eating pineapple this week. It seems to be in season here so lots of it.

Did you get a new bb too? I'm just getting skin excised below bb and lipo but nothing else. I'm wondering if my bb will need to be moved. I guess I'll find out soon!

Sounds as though you're getting exactly what I got. My belly button was untouched. Just skin removed below bb and lipo. I did ask for love handles to be removed which required my incision to go hip to hip

Oh, so interesting! I am also having hip to hip and below the bb. You look fab girl!
I'm targeting the flanks and upper/lower abs with lipo and that's about it. Your bb looks good and in the right place. You look really good for only being a few days out. It's going to be amazing as time goes on. You're my inspiration. Sleep and take your pain meds unless you've gone to Tylenol. I hate Tylenol. It makes me feel worse and really out of it. I wish we could take advil. Drink lots of water too.
Did you drain a lot after surgery? My ps is not giving me a garment. He doesn't think they help. I may have drains but not sure. I have a toilet riser and bedside comode ready.

I got drains out today. I put up a video of that. That was a huge relief. I did get a garment. I couldn't imagine not having one. I feel like it helps with the swelling and the discomfort.
I was sent home with oxycodine. Only took as needed. Make sure to drink pineapple juice for few days before surgery. Helps with bruising

Good luck. I'm really liking what I'm seeing but the lipo really does hurt. But I'm sure I'll be happy with it and forget this pain

This is day 6 post mini tummy tuck. Draining tubes getting removed. There really wasn't any pain. I made it worse by expecting it to be horrible.

I know with a full tt the mons is lifted as well as some thigh lift. It's usually something people notice afterwards.
