2 Years Post Op - Maryland

WORTH IT$10,300
2 years post op now from a tummy tuck. I have gained and lost +/-15 lbs post tummy tuck, yes I know. I'm currently up 10 lbs from my goal. I just hired a personal trainer to kick my ass. At this point, I'm just hoping to not gain anymore weight b/c the holiday season is coming up. My tummy still looks amazing. This procedure was totally worth it. When I'm up on the scale I look softer in the tummy and fuller in the flanks. When I'm down on the scale I look tight and toned. A tummy tuck is not weight loss surgery, just loose skin removal and muscle tightening. For anyone considering plastic surgery, be sure you're doing this for you. Make sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon and in good standing with your state's medical board. Follow your surgeon's instructions. Talk to your surgeon if you have questions or concerns. And if you live in the MD, DC, VA area, I totally recommend Dr. Adam Tattelbaum.

I'm in the same spot as you :).  I've gained and lost so many times, just like before the surgery ;).  I'm 8 pounds over my ideal now, but at least the holidays are not special-food days for us, so I expect it'll be the same struggle as always, instead of an impossible one!  You still look great, though, of course, and your scar is fantastic.  I've always been impressed by Dr. T's scars.

Looking good Skinnywaist :) I'm just past the 2 year mark and finally had my revision last Friday. A different surgeon as mine just left (which I was glad about) and he said he's pretty much done the whole thing all over again calling it a mini tummy tuck and no muscle repair this time thank the lord because that pain we something else!. I still need to post pictures. Good to see your update :) X

You look amazing! The scars are hardly visible which is so encouraging for us future tummy tuckers. And it's good to see that the results last.

Thank you!! Yes, my PS told me the results will be long lasting, as long as I don't get pregnant again or gain too much weight. Good luck to you!

Hi , I'm doing very well. I'm up 10 lbs on the scale but I was up a little more and have lost a few lbs so I'm headed in the right direction. My tummy is still flat. Yay! My weight gain is showing up in my arms, legs, butt and back. I will try to post again in a couple months when I'm back at my goal weight. Happy healing to everyone.

Even up in weight, you look great!  Shapely instead of overweight.  You still have the skinny waist for sure :).  I'm recovering from my revision now and the swelling has obscured any waist I had.  Blah.  But I wanted this revision…hopefully the swelling will go away and everything will look great again!

Thanks for the update!

You look fabulous, Skinnywaist! Nice to be so far down the surgery road, isn't it? Some days I even forget I had a tummy tuck. (Until I look down and see my flat abs!!) I'll be doing a 10 month post op report in two weeks. Glad you're doing so well, and are happy. Take care :)
