So happy with my revision results!

WORTH IT$8,800
9 days post revision and feeling great! It was soooo much easier this time around. Had the slim lipo done this time and what a difference between this lipo and the traditional. I had discomfort, not pain, and very little to no bruising. The slim lipo is much less traumatic to your body and skin tissue. Had one drain take out on Monday and I go this morning to get the other one out :) If it wasn't for the drains I could have easily gone back to work after one week. 1st day back will be this Friday. He told me he was able to get another 1.5 pounds of fat and extra skin and did another 1000cc of lipo on my flanks. For the first time in my life I have a smooth transition from my upper leg to my stomach! For as long as I can remember I have had a rim of fat there, but not anymore :))) I am so grateful for finding Dr. Janitch. He is so wonderful as is his whole staff. This time around the whole process has been nothing but positive!!

Made it thru! I was very happy with everyone who took care of me from start to finish. Dr. Janitch came by my room twice to check in on me. My first PS never did that. Dr. said he was able to take another 1.5 pounds of fat and skin for the revision. And he lowered the scar and he said he fixed the drainn holes from the first surgery. Think he said he got about 1000-1500 in lipo. Havent seen anything yet. I have my first follow up appointment tomorrw morning so will wait til then to c everything. Took my first pain pill this morning. Im fine if im sitting and not moving but trying to get up is really painful. Will post pics in the next couple days. Im almost scared to look, out of fear of disappointment. Like after my first surgery. Anyway, thanks ladies for all your wonderful comments!! They are verycappreciated

Well I was suppose to have my revision and lipo redo 2 months ago but I had to cancel. Our 2 year came down with a stomach bug which passed to Daddy and 2 days before surgery Mommy got it. So my time is finally here again! Praying and hoping it will turn out right this time. Have to be at the hospital a t 530, surgery is scheduled for 700. Excited and so nervous, just want it to be over already! Good luck to anyone else going in this week, and happy healing to the newbies on the flat side!! :)

Goodluck this time around I feel terrible for you that you have to endure this twice :( I hope you get the results you deserve this time as they were less than satisfactory last time and how your surgeon thought that was the best he could do is beyond me!!! Some people are just in it for the money and not their patients well being or happiness lets hope you get all that from your new ps :) I'm nearly 4 weeks out and couldn't imagine having to do it all again it's not just the money it's the down time as well please keep me updated on your recovery I wish you all the best xxxx

Good luck sweetie! I'm so sorry you are having to do an revision but I'm sure you did your research and I'm hoping this new surgeon will give you the desired results! I kept trying to tell my surgeon how ling I wanted or didn't want the scar, or that I didn't what muscle repair! My last consult, I told him to do whatever was necessary! I have one month to go and looking forward to seeing my results!
Thoughts and prayers are with you!

Good luck! I, too, had to have it done twice. I love everything about this second tummy tuck. I could not be any flatter. My first doctor from Kentucky, Dr. Martin Luftman, did not even respond to me.
