Drainless Tummy Tuck - Right Decision For Me

WORTH IT
The most calming surgical procedure and recovery experience ever. The build up, the surgery and recovering has been so smooth. Very little pain and discomfort with this drainless tummy tuck. I felt so safe in Dr. McNeel's hands and confident that my results will be as expected given his experience.

I had exparel pain medication as my pain tolerance is very low. From day one (being day of surgery) I was surprised at how little pain I felt. I could feel some soreness around my stomach muscles and none from the actual incision area. Once you know you're limitations moving around became easier day by day. I took pain meds for the first 4 days or so. Today is day 11 post op and I am only taking the muscle relaxants twice a day.

Mother of three children and was tired of people asking if I was expecting. Wishing I could feel confident in the clothes I wear and not have to always wear baggy clothing to hide my tummy area. So TT was my only option. My PS told me tummy muscles ended up being 7cm apart!

Yeah 7cm's seems big compared to most. Thanks about the pics, I was a bit nervous to post at first, but realized how pictures can help others. Hope all is going well with your new journey.
