WORTH IT$10,100

I have needed a tummy tuck since having my last child 14 year ago. I chose Dr. Reath after extensive research. I couldn’t be happier. He did a full abdominoplasty with the “muffinator” meaning he did lipo of my love handles as well.

I'm getting drainless too! How is recovery? Are you glad there's no drains?

I'm glad for some reasons, such as not having to deal with them, have them pulled, and empty them. I have been wondering if my swelling would be better if I did have them, though. I'm having a ton of swelling but I also had a ton of lipo so it's hard to tell.

My surgeon had me buy a 10 pound bag of birdseed to lay over my belly after surgery. I assume this is to help keep sweeping down and to help prevent seroma? Give it a try, it might help? I hear that it takes quite a few months for swelling to really go down. I hope it improves for you!

Thanks! My post op appt is tomorrow and I get my binder. I hope it helps. If it weren't for the swelling I would feel amazing

Thank you for such kind comments about your tummy tuck and excision of hip rolls. The technique the I use to avoid drains takes a little longer in the operating room, but it improves the recovery immensely. I am glad you are doing so well.
All the best,
