I had a Tummy tuck February 13, 2014 by Dr. Kiran Polavarapu. After 3 near full term pregnancies my stomach was a wreck. My muscle was stretched, I was covered in stretch marks and my abdomen was big. I Chose Dr. Kiran to do my tummy work and although she did an amazing job I still needed some tweaking. I had been doing research for a while and knew that to get the results that I wanted with the extended abdominal damage that I had I would need 2 or possible 3 procedures and I knew that dog ears sometimes do happen even to veteran plastic surgeons . I have friends that have them. My PS and I discussed the dog ear removal but we needed to wait 6 months until all the swelling from the lipo and tt was gone. Because she was leaving at the 4 months post surgery she mentioned that the next fellow after her could do the revision for me. After seeing how nice my tummy looked after the tt I then decided to get my breast done cause they were bad an didn't match with my tummy. I went to see Dr. Curran for my breast and at the time of surgery he took care of dog ears and did some more lipo. I don't have any pain whatsoever and know that their done because of the compression binder that I'm wearing. I have not touched any regular Tylenol or any narcotics because I am completely comfortable and no pain. Like I mentioned before I know that he did my dog ears cause he told me, and i have the tape but I don't feel any pain or discomfort. Sunday I get to take everything off for my first shower and take a peak. Dr. Curran will be going back to Ireland at the end of June :'( but I am very thankful that he took care me and of course had. Dr. Kirans back. I was blessed with both surgeons. Check out my breastlift review and see for yourself the skills he has. He did an amazing job

Day 4 Liposuction Incision Sites

TTLatina
Liposuction incisions are very small. My incisions were cleverly placed in inconspicuous areas by Dr. Curran....
************************************************ Dr. Curran used my belly button, tummy tuck scar and dog ear incision (sides) as entry site for the liposuction .******************************************I woke up wearing a compression Velcro binder- as compression helps apply pressure and reduce swelling after surgery. It also helps tissue reconnect and retract to the smaller shape where the fat has been removed and also lessens/ decreases the chance for seromas (fluid build up)
