Tummy Tuck W/ Lipo at Age 39 After 1 Pregnancy - Bal Harbour, FL

WORTH IT$6,800

I'm so happy I finally decided to do this.... after many panic attacks and sleepless nights trying to make up my mind. I was absoultely petrified of the thought of general anasthitia. It has not been an easy process; recovery is MUCH slower than I expected and I've had a few set-backs with infection and constipation, but I'm well on my way to recovery now. For sure, anyone considering a tummy tuck with lipo should plan on staying home for a good month. My energy level has been very low and I get tired/drained very easily. I've had slowly get back into my routine, and 21 days post-op I am at about 50% performance. Good Luck to anyone considering this option!

So, I'm almost at my 1 month post-op mark and I feel good. Still have a lot of swelling concentrated on my lower abdomen and pelvi area. Still can not stand up 100% yet because the belly weight drags me down. My back and flanks are still tender and swollen from the lipo, but it doesn't hurt at all unless touched. I still get tired easily, but I force myself to walk as much as possible during the day. By about 4pm I'm drained and ready to call it a day.
