I'm 1 yr post op and still happy I had the TT. I've gained a little weight which now goes to my arms and back where it used to go to my tummy first. I'm overall happy but my stomach is not flat and has some weird contouring that I want to have fixed. Dr. VanNatta will be charging for revision so I'm putting it off for now. It's nice not having a bulging belly but I still have some loose skin below my belly button which makes me crazy :(. I think he wasn't quite aggressive enough with the pull down---but I also had a lot of fat lipoed so maybe he couldn't. My advice is to be at your best weigh before having TT

Here are some 3 & 4 weeks PO photos. I'm much smaller than pre-op but still very swollen. I have a large area near incision that is bulged out (which I hate) but I'm trying to be patient. I also have some fluid above my BB that I'm hoping will go away soon.

I am scheduled with Dr. Van Natta in March. I wanted to see how you were doing and if you have any suggestions for me. I am also having a TT with lipo. I will be 42 this year and have wanted this for 17 1/2 years. My first stretched the heck out of me and I've never been the same. I am beyond excited but worried about all the reviews I read about the pain post lipo. Hope you are doing well.

Hi Lilnicki!
Yaa for you and your upcoming TT! It can be absolutely nerve racking leading up to it. I am now 3 mos PO and overall happy I did it and the pain is like childbirth in that it's awful but forgettable. I'm having some concerns w area of my TT and Dr V and I discussed revision yesterday. I wi say that I was discouraged bc my revision of 3 areas is going to cost me $1125!!! He doesn't charge but this is the fee for the surgery room for 1 hour! I don't know what you look like but my biggest advice is to make sure your at your ideal weight before you do it. I feel like my results are not ideal bc I had so much fat removed which meant less stretchy skin to pull down. I have a small very vertical incision bc my skin wasn't loose enough to pull my old BB down into incision. The good news is Dr V puts ur incision very low! Lipo definitely caused more pain than the TT bc I got Exparel. Where are you having the Lipo done?
