5 year TUCKAVERSARY
WORTH IT$5,999
Wow! 5 years has flown by.
And still, my tummy tuck surgery was the best decision I ever made.
In the 5 years, I have gained up to 30 lbs. Now, I'm at a 20 lb increase since my surgery. My tummy has held up fine with the weight gain. My tummy expanded in inches and ballooned at the top of my belly. Wish I had a picture to share of it.
The photos with this post were taken today. I go to a trainer 4x a week now for overall weight loss. I can do sit ups and weighted hula hoops with no issues. Both of which I could not do a year after the surgery. I do not wear girdles or shape wear, just a belly band when I workout.
No other issues to report.
My only advice is if you have back fat, I'd suggest to get that lipo'd the same time as your tummy tuck.
Be safe ladies and always go to a board certified surgeon. Remember: you get what you pay for.
Happy Tuckaversary to me!!!

No I didn't because it was included in my overall cost.

Revision completed today!
Hello!
Its been awhile since I posted. I'm 10 months post op and had my revision today. Let me tell you being awake was anxiety ridden for me. Dr. Song lipo'd both side of my flanks for a better contour and also lipo'd and removed belly fat above my pelvic area. Which meant he did have to cut and restitch that area. He seemed pleased when he was done. It's hard to tell for me what it looks like because I'm pretty swollen and back to being in a compression garment. I go back in a week to get the stitching removed.
I'll admit I did gain holiday weight so I was embarrassed to see Dr. Song today but he was still impressed with my belly. Actually I am too. I will lose the weight but it's good to know that my belly can withstand weight gain. I'll post photos when the swelling goes down.
Happy healing and whew what a journey!
