I wanted to start this post because there's really not a lot of girls who have had the same procedure I'm going to have. I see a lot people post on here so I wanted to contribute. A little about myself: I'm 29 years, mother of 1, engaged, I work full time and go to school part time(last semester). When I was pregnant with my one(10/2011) I was originally 151 and ballooned all the up to 213. I've been working out on and off for the past 4 years but just started doing it consistently for the past year and see great results every where else but my stomach ????. I feel that it's pretty solid under all that flab. So, I decided to get a tummy tuck (without the sutures) w/ lipo to abs and flanks. Dr Mesa calls this the Brazilian tummy tuck and at first he didn't like the idea but when I went back Janurary and saw my hard work he said I was okay to have the surgery without the internal sutures. The reason I cannot have a mini is because I have excess above my belly button and I would still have it if I were to do the mini. I'm excited and nervous as the time gets closer to. Here's muah!

THANK YOU! I'm going to need it!

Oh gosh, please let us know how you make out. This is the number one thing I would fix if I could afford it. Did he quote you a price? What is the down time? I'm not familiar with the procedure you're going to have but I too had considered a mini. My muscles are solid too, just the excess skin hanging there. But more so.

It was a little over 9000, he said two weeks but I'm shooting for 10 days depending if I take my drains out on Tuesday. He didn't have to do the internal sutures bc my muscle are tight but he did lipo on my abs, flanks, and a little bit of my back. I went for my follow up and he said I'm healing beautiful I just have to follow his instructions he gave me.

That's my problem area also, I work out a lot 4 c-section but that lower abdomen area won't go lol . How much for the BBL tummy tuck ? I live in NYC and i want to go to Miami for tummy tuck because it's less expensive.

It was a little over 9000 but it's worth it. I got lipo on my flanks and back a little. Maybe today I'll post a picture before I take a shower. He's awesome you should look him up and he has an ofc in NYC.

Everyone at ambulatory center is so nice and patient with me. My surgery went really well. He removed 6 lbs and about 2 lbs of skin. I'm now waiting for my fiancé to get here to take me home. I'm soooo hungry! I'm so happy that I did this can't wait to see the results. A few gross things: drains it's red right now but at the day's progress it'll be lighter. Second he didn't put a drain in the back so I have to wear a diaper bc I'm bleeding. He said he didn't want to put a drain bc it will fall in the toilet. I have a follow up tomorrow with him. Btw Dr Mesa was so nice during the whole thing, he came in and showed me pictures of the fat and skin removal and also how I looked when he finished. He told me I have to walk like how Kim Kardashian posed in the champagne cup ????????
