Time is going by pretty swift. I will be going back to Miami to get more lipo and fat transfer to the buttocks. I must admit I am so much more nervous then when I went to Miami for my tummy tuck. I remember being so excited! Now here I am again. Lol! I don’t regret anything, but not asking more questions about liposuction in certain areas to give me the best results out of my tummy tuck. So here I go again round two! I’m praying that this surgery will give me the results I’m looking for, so I don’t have to go through nothing else.

Hello there .I had my TT with the same Dr and I had the same result , not happy at all, and the thought of I looked better than before does not comfort me , I been crying a lot thinking that after all the money I paid and all the pain suffered it was just for nothing I still have to hide my tummy in a dress I do not like and feel embarrass when I take my clothes off in front of my husband . When I confronted him the only answer was that happened to 1 % of people .Please let me know what Dr did you chose to do your lipo and pleaseeee post after pict to see your result .Hope everything goes wonderful this time

I'm researching TT with lipo and BBL....what are the questions you wished you would have asked before your first surgery to "give you the best results out of your tummy tuck"? Thank you in advance for answering! Best of luck.

Hey. I did the same. Had the tt done, then a year latter had lipo of my full back and flanks. One thing about lipo is the recovery is hell. You hurt so bad. But make sure to wear your compression and get your massages.

I’m 2 weeks post op today from TT and have had nothing but complications. ER visit at one week for an infected drain. I’m currently admitted in the hospital after a second ER visit two days ago for a suture that had let go from the pressure building. I got a seroma and when I arrived my labs were exponentially worse (kidneys tanking from onset of rhabdo) from the muscle injury. So that’s fun. Never again. No cosmetic surgery ever for me. I’ve had over 25 surgeries (non cosmetic) in my adult life and have never had complications until now.

Where did you go to do the surgery?

I see these comments are about a year ago so not sure if you've gone through with the procedure or not. But I can relate to some of what the ladies commented on as well. I loved my results. However the aftermath was what I truly paid for. I had an infected drain as well. Was very nasty and painful. My surgeon did correct it and was the last of that. But I never realized how risque lipo can be. More than a TT dare I say. My best advice is ask all the questions and take all the precautions you can. Best of luck to you and take care hun

Hi love! I did go through with lipo 360 and bbl. I’m now 7 weeks out and I feel and look wonderful. Didn’t have any complications so far. Everything is going smoothly. I’m sorry you had to go through complications. Thank you for your feed back as well honey. Have a good day as well.

It’s bern a journey, I need to get back in the gym and work out the rest of this fat. I think I want more Lipo but can’t afford it right now so until then the gym will do. I’m not all the way satisfied but I know I have a lot of fat around the organs but still feel like he could of removed a lot more skin. Otherwise he did a good job and overall I can say I’m happy. I also need my belly button fixed as well. Probably won’t be able to get it pierced. I’m going to go and see what they say.
