WORTH IT$17,000
(TUMMY TUCK W/LIPOSUCTION OF ABD/WAIST/FLANKS, DORSAL ROLL & R OUTER THIGH)
*Keep in mind the cost included not only the Tummy Tuck but Liposuction in a couple places as well; plus a very comfy and VERY NECESSARY overnight hospital stay...LET ME REPEAT VERY NECESSARY OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAY, I cant believe women actually go home after the combo of a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction. What wasn't included was the prescriptions, and recommended pre/post op supplements. I'm only 6 days post op at this point and I'm VERY happy with my decision, I love the results I can see thus far and am very anxious to see the final results once all the swelling is gone. I pretty much laid around on pain meds and couldn't move much the first 2-3 days but I'm up and about slowly now. I have two drains and they are the most aggravating part of all this at this point, I cant wait to take them out. Working to stay in good spirits through this recovery process and cant wait to be back to my normal self but.....I LOVE MY DECISION.

Swelling is Quite Discouraging
Cant wait for the swelling to subside so I can really be excited about results, I feel like certain spots on my back are larger and fluffier than they were before and that's hard to deal with...staying calm, hopeful and inspired! 10 days po now and just waiting eagerly for these drains to be removed. I want to start doing some lower body work to eccentuate my new upper body, cant wait to get to the lunges and squats since I opted against the BBL.

I think you look really good so far. How long did you have to wait for surgery date once you decided to book it? I'm going to call Dr. Markmann's office for a consultation.

Thank you
My initial consult with him was October 5th, and i decided to schedule on oct 12th, for a nov 16th date so it was about a month out.

2 Weeks Post Op Progressing Well (Hate The Swelling!) {TT, Lipo Abd/Waist/Flanks & Dorsal Roll}
I'm officially 2 Weeks PO in these new photos, definitely feel on the flat side. There is still a lot of swelling in the waist, back and flank area....cant wait to see those results. Both of my JP drains managed to fall out by themselves in the last day or two, I cant say I'm not relieved they're gone, but a little concerned, certainly don't want to develop a seroma or have to have fluid drained via large needles. Not having anymore pain related to TT incision, just lots of itching at the incision, I've been just applying Bacitracin. There is also irritation and itching at the sites where the lipo cannula was entered. The pain and soreness that persists now is in my Lipo areas (a lot of soreness) as well as back pain from still walking and moving around slightly hunched over. My incision is looking pretty dark at this point and a little weird looking and folded in spots (I'm going to discuss this with my PS in a couple days when I see him) so its pretty ugly, but I know time will help with that (and I certainly intend on tattooing my scar when its time also.) Overall I am still very happy with my procedures, just still patiently waiting on resolution to swelling and soreness...I know its months to come!!!
U look great
