Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

21 Days Post Op
Quick 3 week post op update.
My drains are still in at 3 weeks! For whatever reason my body just keeps producing fluid. I am right at 50ccs in a 24 hour period. I have an appointment to remove my drain tomorrow, even though they want the fluid to be at 25ccs in a 48 hour period.They don’t like to leave them in over 3 weeks for risk of infection. For whatever reason my pain level has increased the last two days which is odd because I was feeling pretty good. Tylenol and Celebrex doesn’t seem to be touching it. I’ve also found it kind hard standing up straight again. I am looking forward to the swelling going down so i can see the full result. My flanks (love handles) have been my concern throughout this process as they look pretty big compared to my stomach, but I know they are still swollen because they are sore.
I’d also like to say the staff at my surgeons office are wonderful. Paula, Kelly, and Dana are always friendly and answer all my questions. I’ve always enjoyed my conversations with Dr. Millard. His son and I went to the same university, so we usually talk about football. How many doctors give you their personal cellphone number if you have any questions or concerns? Dr. Millard does that.

Day 11
It’s now day 11. I have been in compression for 4 days now. I still have my drain and I am still recording nearly triple the rate I need to get it out, unfortunately. It’s definitely changed to more of a yellow/orangish color drainage. Stitches in my bellow button and my nipples are still in. The tummy tuck incision no longer bothers me, although it’s still swollen. The pain in my abdomen is pretty mild but it hurts under my armpit pretty bad. My sides are still pretty swollen and I have my fingers crossed they even out and look good.
Day 3 & Day 4
Day 3
My pain had diminished quiet a bit. I was to walk around a good bit. Most of the pain I had was in my back because I wasn’t able to stand up right. I didn’t take any pictures today.
Day 4
Today is day 4 and my lymphatic massage. The massage was better than I expected. I m resting a lot today because tomorrow I am going back to work, even if it’s just for 4 hours.
