Mini tummy tuck after my lipo
WORTH IT$5,500
I got a mini tummy tuck 7 days ago after having lipo on my core area on May16. After debating if I should have it done due to some stuburn areas that didn't want to smooth and looked uneven and bumpy. Finally my PS Dr. Rednam and I agree on doing it. I'm very grateful for choosing her as my PS. She couldn't be more supportive and understanding throughout this whole process. She saw me 2 days after my surgery and took her time walking me through everything. I'm scheduled to see her again this Friday. I've never seen such an accessible doctor, she will answer your calls, texts, emails, even her personal cell phone. That makes me feel secure and so much comfortable. No mayor pain at all, stop taking pain meds 2 days ago. Doing ok with Ibuprofen and Tylenol. I'll post pictures of this new journey. I'm very happy with the results so far.

13 wks update
I'm at 13 wks and 2 days. Still have irregularities, bumps, and swelling. Is this normal???My Dr said it is, and that it will get better. I really hope she's right, because I don't wanna be one of those disaster cases. Don't get me wrong, I love my Dr, she's always being so supportive and comforting, but I'm getting impatient. Any one out there that's going through a similar situation??

Did you get cynergy? Not manual massages or giving by your self cause at this point you may have scar tissue and trapped fluid , I didn't know anything about massages or plantilla on my first surgery and scar tissue formed ,that's why I had Lipo again ,try another dr opinion or even 2 believed me they will tell you ,I tried to talked to my dr many times all I got were excuses,more time ,

Hi, I'm so sorry to tell you this, but you should e very mad at your Dr. She did an awful job. Infact you should say who she is and where she's at to alert other people. And that's definitely not normal I'm 39 and just had a mini tummi tuck and today is a month since my surgery and and I'M completely flat in my tummy. And I'm still swollen

Go see a different Dr. Cause I just read what she did to you. I don't think you retained liquid, you have loose skin cause you did need a mini tummy tuck like I did. And I had a lot less than you. If you go see another Dr. I promise you, they will tell you that you did need a small mini tummy tuck at least. [RS bleep] luck

Long Due Liposuction update
Just wanted to let you know that I went to my follow up on Friday with Dr Rukmini Rednam and all went very well. She clarified all my questions and concerns. Today she called me to check on me becasue she knows I'm very concerned about my bumps and creases in my lower ab area. I found that so sweet and thoughtful of her to do that on a Sunday. She wants to see me back tomorrow, she wants to try other options that she thinks it may work and help me with the recovery. Now, I feel so much better and confident, and more so she gave me the reassurance I needed. I know that I chose the right Dr. to do my porcedure. I'll keep you'all posted on my appt tomorrow. Feeling alot better!!! Thanks Dr. Rednam

Hi, Yes I'm wearing the garment 24/7, the Dr told me to wear for 6 wks or more if I want. My Dr. wanted to see me today so I went and she recommended the lymphatic drainage massages, I have an appt next week for that. Also, my Dr gave me a lipo foam to wear under my garment, and she said to massage the area in small circular motions. So Im hoping this would help. I'm feeling much more confident now, and I know I have to be patient, it's a slow process. I'll keep you posted.

To be honest. I haven't seen any improvements yet. I'm wearing the garment with the lipo foam 24/7 as directed, but nothing has changed. I'm also massaging the areas twice a day and nothing. I have an appt this Friday, so will see what the Dr says. I'll keep you posted.

The backside results look instantly perfect. Are you expressing any issues there?

No, it's just the front area. My back and my sides feel fine. Now I'm wearing the lipo foam my Dr gave me inside my garment and it's making a big difference. It's only been 2 days since she put them on, and I'm already seeing the change. Today I went for a lymphatic drainage massage, and it felt very good, not painful whatsoever. The therapist showed me how to massage the areas as well. I'm scheduled to go once a week for the next 6 weeks.

Hi! how's it going? I'm a month post op right now and although my swelling is down, my skin is starting to look looser... I'm bummed!! I've been told not to expect much until at least 3 months, so I'm hoping it will firm up... Would love to know how you're progressing!

Well,
The seelling is better but not completely gone. I still have some bumps in my lower abdomen area, but the Dr said that is the part where it takes the longest to go down. I'm hoping that by the next month everything is going to look great. I get anxious because I wanna see results now, but I was told that true results take from 3 to 6 months.

I hope you're doing well... If you still have the bumps and creases, you need to research the FasciaBlaster... There are reviews for it on Real Self. It's a tool that helps you smooth out your fascia and it has just blown me away at how much it's improved my abs after lipo. I've been getting lymphatic massages for the last few weeks (my surgery date was June 20), and my massage therapist is blown away as well. She tells me that my recovery is way ahead of schedule. This thing helps with the bumps, the numbness, the itching, the swelling and the pain. I honestly cannot recommend it enough. It's a life changer. There are a ton of youtube videos on it.
