Post Tummy Tuck - Year 3 - Still Happy

FBabe
It's the 3rd anniversary of my tummy tuck today. I took pictures and they look pretty much EXACTLY like my two-year pics, so I haven't bothered to post them here. I've lost and gained weight in the past 3 years and my stomach still looks flat and fabulous. Good luck to all of you about to get yours done, I hope you're as happy as I am with mine!

2 Years Post Op

FBabe
When I originally did my research for my surgery I noticed there weren't many posts after a few months postop and I remembered wishing I could see what more long- term results looked like. I'll post my 2 year pics here for that exact purpose!

Some things to note:
1) I haven't put much effort into trying to get the scar to fade so it's still pretty dark
2) I have to watch what I eat and exercise regularly to keep these results. I even have more fat on my stomach than I did this time last year - it's proving very hard to keep my flat belly but I think if I maintain this effort I will be able to
3) I healed crooked - it's hard to find bikini bottoms that cover my whole scar. I don't mind this, but it's a fact

I hope this helps, best of luck to anyone taking this step! It's so worth it!

Thank you for sharing two year pics... you look amazing... my surgery is Dec 18, cannot wait! I plan to stay in touch with RS and updating throughout the coming months and first couple years. I think it is such a help and asset to see and hear from people who have come before you... to see where they are now! Thank you again for sharing, enjoy living the flat side of life!

You're up soon, that's exciting! Luck and yes RS is a great tool!

Thanks for the long term updates! It really helps. I'm in Jacksonville, too, and my surgery is set for next Tuesday, 11-25, with Dr. Rumsey at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery. Can't wait to be on the flat side! How do you feel it looks after losing 20 lbs? I want to lose another 20-25 after surgery, too. I think you look great, just want your take on weight loss after.

The weight loss after looks jus fine, it really didn't have a negative effect on the results at all, it just looked even better.

Thank you so much for posting these pics! these really make me feel good about my long term results! Do you mind telling me which brand/style of bra you had on in the pic with the white tank and undies? I think it makes your boobs look nice and full! I have size D's but they look small right now due to my gut... I can't wait to have a flat tummy so my pups look bigger... :o)

I'd first like to say, thanks for recognizing the need for pics of long term results, and you look amazing. When i first saw your pics almost a year ago, I immediately wanted to go to this surgeon. However, I couldn't get passed how bad the scarring is. For me, it would be far worse because of my ethnicity. Lately, however, I have been doing some research on getting laser treatments to reduce the scarring or getting a nice tattoo. There are alot of women who actually just get a sexy tattoo over their scar so they don't have to worry about finding the right bottoms which in my opinion defeats the whole purpose of having a TT. Why go through something so drastic and still have to hide? Anyway, you look great girl, and thanks for posting your pics.

Thanks for the compliments! I'd like a tattoo as well, the scaring is scary looking. My husband prefers the scar to a tattoo though. I still get to wear a bikini in the summer, I just have to be choosy about the bottoms...it's worth the trade in from the "before" stomach one-piece!!

Wow! I'm happy to have come across your profile. I'm scheduled with Dr. Csikai next month for TT/w lipo and BA. Thank you for sharing!

My pleasure :) Dr. Csikai is amazing, I'm sure you'll love it! Luck!!!
