After many painful consultations I decided to take the plunge. Lol! I'm so happy I did. I am very please with my result and my scar so far. On Dec 17, 2014 I had a Mini Tummy Tuck with Lipo to the Waist, Bra rolls, and Upper and Lower Abs. I also did the Smooth Shape massages to help with swelling and pain.

So just the mini isn't all that is needed to get back flat? Lipo is also needed?

It depends on a few things honey.. Like what u are starting with.. What your expectations are.. and your surgeon. I didn't need to be washboard flat, I just wanted lower belly fat not to hang anymore. Lol! I also chose a surgeon who will do Lipo in conjunction with the mini tummy tuck, I met one surgeon who preferred not to do them both at the same time. I hope this helps JessicaB513 :0)

It looks great. I have a new born baby and a 5 year old. So my concern is not being able to take care of her after the surgery. How long did you have to stay in bed and not be able to do anything?

Hey there.. Thank u! I was out for 5 days.. Back to work on day 6 but still moving slow. I'm 2 months post op now and I feel like I did before the surgery. Finally! Lol. With 2 little ones.. I would ask someone to stay and help me out for about 6 weeks. Hope that helps!

Thanks for providing this information. I am getting a Diep flap for a Double Mastectomy. I have been worried about the abdominal scar. Your pictures gave me some hope. Could you tell me if your ps used staples or not? and also, did your ps recommend the silicone sheets and Biocorneum or did you have to research that seperately? Thanks for any advice you can provide :)

Hi honey! I had internal stitches and dermabond to seal the skin.. My PS recommended the Biocorneum.. I added the sheeting on my own.. PS said it couldn't hurt! Lol

You look great! I hope my scar heals as well. You didn't have to have your belly button relocated?

Est01coo

No.. The mini tummy tuck focuses on the area below the belly button. Thank u for the compliment honey!
