Hey all it has been awhile and ive been feeling a little Down and not loving my results. Its been 9 weeks and my waist is bigger now than before the tummy tuck. I had lipo with bbl a year ago,and it really left me with a nice hourglass shape..i had the tuck to get rid of some loose skin thinking it would just be the finishing touch,but it made me look worse. Im not sure if i am still swollen or what but im not happy

You guys are worrying me . What did the doctor say ? Maybe it’s just swelling ? Do you see a difference when you first wake up ?
Q

Yes I totally understand, I've just started doing postop imassages and def see a difference..I definitely was still swollen, however I have read that the tummy tuck procedure can make you appear wider,because of the way they cut you ,something about the circumference..I have also gained some weight, so that may attribute to looking wider,also..I have spoke to Dr reish,and he said im probably swollen from lipo of the flanks along with the tuck..Im feeling better, but I go back and forth..i think the lipo alone had me looking more snatched,however the girls at the massage place tell me my stomach and waistd do look snatched..i get alot of compliments on how flat my tummy is,so i guess thats good..Dont be scared doll, i dont believe this is any fault of Dr reish, from the things I've read, it's just plain old anatomy..I have spoken with Dr reish, and he has been very responsive..He said to give it some time, because there is still swelling and if not happy at 6 months we can figure something out..maybe more lipo of the flanks, but he thinks I have a great outcome,and to just be patient..BossLady724.. You should def reach out to him again, and ask him to perform more lipo until you are happy with the outcome, but i def feel you about being frustrated..shoot him a text and tell him how you feel,see what he says

I'm over it. I don't want to keep getting Lipo and have all these incision scars all over me. I didn't even go to my 3 month post op appointment... I look better in my clothes so I guess that's something...

Seeing a difference varies. Some ppl come out snatched and some ppl look bigger than when they went in. I definitely came out looking bigger and I did gain 9 pounds the day of. My body is proportioned differently after lipo and its a good thing, I just expected more and maybe that's my fault.

I kinda feel the same way..think I'm gonna leave myself alone too..I think we are so hard on ourselves sometimes..Im at fault of the same thing, I guess I thought the tummy tuck would make me even tinier,but it is what it is now..I'm gonna stop obsessing about out , and try to take the positive out of it..I wish you the best BossLady724

I feel better and the lumps are going away, still looking the same though and I've been working out... Idk... I'm being patient
Q

I think we are our own worst critic...i think you look great, but im sorry your not really loving your results yet..just keep doing what your doing, it helps alot..glad to hear the lumps are getting better..maybe try on something that use to be tight on you, and see how it fits now, and if you feel you look better in it now to compare

Don't get me wrong... I know there's a difference, especially in my clothes. I just feel like I look better with clothes on than off and its funny because b4 the sx I felt the complete opposite... My hopes were way too high or unrealistic and now its very hard for me to understand my reality because my mind was set... And I agree on being my worst critic. I'm ok with my results just not satisfied. But its still early, hopefully things will get better..

I hear you..i think for the money and the recovery of it, you expected more..i cant say i blame you..I feel the same way..we want drastic change.. its hard with American Drs..they are pretty conservative and most dont give the drastic results you can get outta country,however going out of the country can be extremely risky ..i say, give it another few months and if you are still unhappy talk to Dr Reish..maybe he can do an additional lipo on you,because at the end of the day..you have to be happy

I agree.... I will wait a full year to see what happens and if I'm not happy, well he already knows that I'm not thrilled but by that time I will ask him for a revision. From the beginning I asked him to take the max out and he didn't and without reason when I asked. He just kept saying trust me, your going to be happy.
