Drain-less Tummy Tuck, MR and lipo

WORTH IT
After having three c sections and giving working out a try I decided to finally make my dreams come true. I had been researching for years tummy tucks but never did I know there was a such thing as a drain-less procedure. I’m beyond happy with my results and I’m currently PO 5 days. I visited with multiple drs in the San Diego area and was very overwhelmed until I met with Dr. Robert Pollack. I saw his information online and also got to see from two of his previous patients their results, honestly that’s what motivated me even more. Knowing from real patients from my community that had been under Dr. Pollack’s care and loved their results. He is the only plastic surgeon in the area who performs tummy tuck surgeries that are drain-less. Once I met with him and he explained how and what he would do to me to make sure I was happy with my results I booked my surgery date. My husband and I felt very happy when we met with him, during our pre op appt and surgery date. We saw him three days after my surgery so he could make sure everything looked great and I almost cried of happiness because I couldn’t believe how amazing my stomach and my torso looked. I’m still swollen so just imagine how amazing everything is going to look after the 6 weeks post op appt. I’m beyond happy I made this decision. I’m 32 years old and was very unhappy with my stomach appearance. Now I cannot wait to show off his amazing work!

How long is recovery time? Just wondering for work purposes.

My doctor told me it would be a total of 6 weeks but I’m 2 weeks out and I’m feeling about 80% myself. I guess it would depend what time of work you do, as long as you’re not lifting stuff and sitting down most of the time you should be fine. I started this past weekend a part time job and I’m sitting down in front of a computer doing admin work.

Can you compare the healing process to a c section
March 13, 2019
It’s a bit more painful the next day and it was very painful if I accidentally coughed, sneezed or laughed. I hugged a pillow hard if I could feel a sneeze coming on. I got my muscle repair plus lipo so I know the pain is a bit more because of the soreness. I’m 11 PO and I’m feeling way better as days go by. This Friday will be 2 weeks from my surgery date and I’m hoping by next week to have more energy. My doctor informed me that I will get tired easily since I’m still healing.

Very worth it! I’m 5 weeks PO and my figure is amazing! I have gotten compliments and people can’t believe I have 3 kids. So yes it’s very worth the pain

1 week post Op

I’m feeling better, I have my up and downs but over all I’m loving how small my waist is and my flat stomach. I cannot wait to see how I look after my 6 weeks are over. I’m still sleeping on my recliner and wearing the undergarment. I’m hoping by next week to feel comfortable enough to sleep on my bed again.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! If you don't mind me asking what was weight right before surgery?
April 10, 2019
I was 154 lbs and I’m currently 148 lbs without working out. I think it’s because I was in such pain that I cut off eating bad stuff plus now with my results I definitely do it want to have that belly fat ever again lol

I’m still under my 6 weeks PO so I’m unable to do work outs until next weeks
