Mini Tummy Tuck No Muscle Repair with Liposuction of the Flank Area Also Breast Augmentation Redo - Lubock, TX

UPDATED FROM Great2BMe

OMG. Gained 15 lbs since surgery. Pic, but in clothes.

WORTH IT$1,500
Sorry, it's been so long. I've been so covered up making all the programming changes for the new ICD-10 changes coming up in the healthcare industry. Plus we bought 6 new computers for the clinic and I had to install all the software, etc... Now I have taxes to do. Ugh!

I also have had to deal with two infections on my left boob. Really sucked!

I have not been active at all and really overdid the holidays. Thus I have gained 15 lbs. Yuck!

I've posted a picture of me I took a few seconds ago. What's really amazing is that in clothes you can't even really tell. Because of the mini tummy tuck I can gain 15lbs and not look it!

I am cleared to play golf and be more active this coming weekend. Hopefully, I'll lose all this new weight. I had an injury that my othropedic surgeon said would take nearly a year to heal and that I could not do any activity that aggravated it. So no golf since last year in May.

Thanks to all of you who were concerned for me. Again I apologize for not getting back to you guys sooner. I've been a little depressed over all of the above. Doing better now.

Hope your going great . I stopped by to say Hi
Omg only $1500? What doctor did you have? Im a mom of three a 7 year old and 2 year old twins. Im looking into getting a mini tummy tuck and breast augmentation i have a little twin skin left that i want gone lol.. plus im only a a cup. I live in azle tx close to fort worth. Any suggestions? Thanks love :)
You have really helped! Thank you for sharing - my mini tt is tomorrow.
Great! Good Luck and I'll check in on you later.
You give me hope! My stomach before MTT looks a bit like yours and am hoping for the flatter, firmer look in the abdomen. We are doing lipo of the flanks but it has been running in the back of my mind. You look great!
Oops we are NOT doing any lipo

Too much dessert

Unfortunately I have gained 13 lbs since my surgery. I haven't gained any weight on my lower stomach so at least I know the fat cells are gone from there! However, just as I suspected I gained weight in the upper tummy area where not much lipo was done and in my legs, arms, etc... It is amazing that you can gain weight and it takes over 10 lbs before its noticable. I have to start working out now I've procrastinated as long as I can. Hope everyone is doing well. I've been out of touch I had an enormous amout of clinic and computer upgrades to do while our offices were closed.

Hope u are doing well... Been a while since I checked up On you!!! Looking great an understand gaining but I threw my scales away!!!!
Oh not so hot. Two boob infections, covered up in work. No golf for the past year. Now hopefully things will soon get back to normal. Still covered up with work. Ugh! Thanks for checking on me. I've been depressed.
The holiday will add a few pounds to all of us! Good luck shedding it. I just bought a juicer to help lose mine.. Wonder if I can juice pecan pie? Mmmmm.... Bet that'd be awesome! LOL!
or white wine? LOLL or manchego cheez?! loll yes, let's do it!! xx
You are so funny! I fell off the wagon and stayed off.
Hi I am I was wondering if you ended.up getting full tt and lipo revision prior to mini? And did you have any muscle separation? Im going in I 2 weeks for a mini no mysvkes repair be since muscles ate still tight snd not much loose skin .. all below belly and.. also lipo in abdominal. . Flanks snd inner thighs. . And breast aug.. . But im worried I wont like the mini even if muscles are tight?
I did not get a full tt. Only a mini with lipo and no muscle repair. Looks like your getting the same thing. I hope all went well with you. I will check in on your blog.
I'm so happy for you....the revision turned out great
Thanks. Too bad I haven't really been taking care of myself. I do so love my tummy tuck though. Even with the weight gain I still look pretty good.
Looking so fantastic!! I hear you, I have too! We have to get back in the gym, it's the only way to combat that..more veggies! I have such a sweet tooth so trust me I know!! And you're looking so good! xx
I finally have been cleared to play golf again. I've gained 15lbs since surgery. But with the right clothes its all hidden. Holidays and lack of exercise did me in. Damn! I'll check your blog out. Thanks for the compliment.

New pics. Not bad for 53 going on 54!

I've gained 5 lbs. but my tummy is still flat. I'm amazed that I can wear some of these dresses I couldn't before cuz they showed a slight bulge. Now I feel like I can wear anything!

You are one super hot lady!!!! Congrats to you!!!!!
I feel great!  When I lose 10 lbs I'll be really really smokin!  My husband said that in a pic that he looked liked he was my dad.  He said I look so young compared to him.  I said thank you very much for the plastic surgery sweety!  I guess we both are appreciating the change!
You look smoking hot!!! Yes, all those dresses look great on you!
Thanks so much.  Not bad for almost 54!
You look great!
Thanks.  Good luck with your surgery.  I'll be looking in on you.
You look great :) xx
Thanks weelaura.  So do you!
You look great, love your results! I am getting a full TT but what is the difference in muscle repair???? Does the patient have specific and ask the dr for one??
Hello. The doc should know. .most of time it noticible. .your tummy sticks out in addition to the fat...you should ask your surgeon. Just in case.
If your muscles are loose your stomach protrudes out like your pregnant.  The ps will take the muscle and suture them in so that your stomach is not protruding out any more.  I didn't have that so it wasn't done.  But I've seen so many and they look awesome.  It seems to make the waist alot smaller.  I don't know if it really does, but it looks like it does. 
Ok thanks I understand now and I notice the difference in sone before and aftet pics of some patients that needed muscle repair but I will ask my ps when I see him
Thanks ms.latinamorena!!!
