I live in Littleton and had my consultation yesterday with Dr. Nick Slenkovich. I am not new to cosmetic surgery. Have fad a few procedures, but never this much at once. I'm nervous about recovery. I am having full tummy tuck, breast lift , Liao, fat injections in rear to make fuller(bbl) Any one else have multiple procedures at once?? How was recovery? Any regrets??

Thank you for posting your experience with our practice so far... I look forward to working with you to get you through surgery and recovery. It is normal and natural (and even healthy) to be nervous about surgery and recovery.
RealSelf is a great place to learn about others' experiences and help you prepare. I suggest that you do some studying and write down any questions and we will go over these at your pre-op appointment. If possible, bring your caretaker with you for your pre-op appointment so you can both participate -- this helps more than you might expect. Also, be sure to follow the vitamin and protein supplementation regimen we provided and get your lab work done early so we have time to address any issues that may come up.
Feel free to reach out to us with any questions. Thank you again and we look forward to going on this transformation journey along with you!

As you saw on my review, I had TT, Lipo almost everywhere except calves & down, and then fat injection into butt. I had breast implant removal & lift like 9 mths prior all that with a diff Doctor. I did not do full BBL w/ Dr. Nick but now after seeing the awesome difference that the fat injections made, I wish I opted for more work on the butt. I honestly was afraid to get too huge a butt, but the placement he did with fat injections were to give me more shapely curves and help round the butt at top where I had started to sag. Basically to go from teardrop to more rounded. I now wish I would have just went for more butt attention too b/c I love what he did.
Recovery is tough. I won't lie. I definitely suggest that you have a great support person to help you out. It takes patience in understanding that final results won't come for months, but definitely noticeable as each week passes. Around 8 weeks was a good milestone for me personally on swelling down, etc. I'm at13 wks now & still have some Lipo areas trying to heal. They aren't bad spots, just not fully normal yet.

Thanks for the advise! I'm excited and nervous! 3 days to go! Eating healthy, taking suplements and protein, and arnica!! I'll keep you posted! Silly question, how did you bleep out your girly parts on your pics? I have some recognizable tattoos I'd like to stay discrete. I have before pics but don't know how to blur them out?

Sounds like you are well prepared! Woohoo, it'll be here soon. For photo "bleeps", I use iPhone app called Aviary. It has a stickers feature in there that I use for that. If you don't use iPhone, then I'm sure you can search for other photo apps and even use a blurred feature or writing feature to draw over the areas like a crayon and black them out that way. If from a computer instead, you might try the stand Paint software that usually comes on computers and color them out with crayon style drawing.

I did it!! Scheduled for 3/22/16! I'm excited and nervous! I've been reading lots of mommy make overs, haven't seen one yet that someone is having all I'm having done at once. Are you out there? Would love to hear what helped you heal well, and some things you couldn't live without during recovery.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Hello! Congrats! I was nervous about having all of those things done but I figured I wanted it all done at once so I don't have to have any more surgeries. I was worried about sleep but it's been ok. I even rest on my back with lots of pillows so here is no pressure on my booty. I have NO regrets. I'm here if you have any questions :-)

Hi! So when was your surgery? Did you rent a lift chair? Anything you didn't have in recovery that you wish you would have? How old are you?
February 25, 2016
My surgery was Feb 11. No lift chair, but I used a walker for a couple days. I think the best thing I had for the rough days was a "she-wee". Lol. It's like a pee funnel! I bought it on eBay for $4. Sitting on the toilet is BRUTAL! Plus you don't want pee all over your compression garment; I'm still using it for that reason. I think I prepared perfectly, I was very comfortable. I'm 33.

Thanks for the reply. I'm excited and nervous!! 26 days to go!! Do you love your results now?
February 25, 2016
I love my boobs because I can see a quicker result. My TT is going to take way longer to heal so I can't really tell what the final outcome will be. Whenever I'm in doubt I refer back to pre-op pix! Lol. Congrats! Time will fly.

How much time did you take off of work? I'm taking 2 weeks. I stand at work, so it will save the hiney!!
February 26, 2016
Luckily my husband and I run a business from home. So I didn't have to worry about work so much. I think 2 weeks is enough. Everybody is different but I feel wonderful at two weeks.

No chair lift. You can use are liner because of the BBL. I actually slept in my son's room on his bottom bunk. I used the slats on the top bunk to pull myself up then roll off the bed to grab onto the walker. I've been using regular bed pillows and a Boppy pillow. The Boppy is perfect because you place the curved part on your lower back and put your booty in the hole; I also use it when I drive by putting the curved part at my thighs and my booth in the opening.

8 days to go and I'm feeling pretty prepared and excited!! I have all meds from dr, and got a script for an anti nausea pill that cost 100 dollars for one pill! It better work. I have had nausea after longer surgeries in the past, and this one is expected to be 8 ish hours. Hub works in medical so was able to get a lift chair and walker for me. Boppy and she wee are also here!! I did come down with a cold/ear infection this weekend, so gonna get in to primary dc and get that under control. Murphy's law! I've been eating super healthy, killing it at the gym, trying to be ready for surgery and recovery. Any one else get sick right before surgery??
The works, I love it!! Please update us as you go through the surgery and recovery. I would do my tummy tuck and lipo all over again if necessary. The recovery is a bit of a pain in the tush, but worth it!!
