Mini Tummy Tuck and Liposculpture
untitled-prod-video-703256-id-63200
Lipo on inner and outer thighs, hips, flanks, stomach and back as well as mini tummy tuck.
Was booked in for 12pm and arrived very excited but also starving as I wasn't allowed to eat since the night before (could of ate at 6am but chose to sleep in). Unfortunately for me the surgery before mine ran over so I didn't actually get seen and drawn up until about 4-5pm.When I came to after the local anaesthetic wore off, I felt it was so very hard to breathe, I was to hop straight up, get bandaged up by two nurses, put on my compressions and left with my husband. Worst night!! I was in so much pain despite the meds. Couldn't lay down so literally slept sitting up. It was excruciating going back the next morning for the check up. I was white as a ghost and felt like I was dieing. The nurses and Dr Lanzer were so lovely and took great care of me. Felt much better after that. I found the pain for the first 3-4 days to be insane! Luckily I had someone to have my kids for that time cause I could barely move at all. I slept on my couch for first week and a half so I could use the back of it to pull myself up. The pain factor was so much worse then I anticipated it would be (I've had 2 c sections and this was worse because of the lipo I believe). I have low pain tolerance though too. On my 1 week checkup they removed all but 6 staples but drain tubes were to stay in a couple more days. Went back on Wednesday 2 days later and was told I wasn't meant to be showering all this time whilst having drain tubes as there is risk of infection. The nurse at my day after appointment told me I could shower after 24 hours which is also what the paperwork said so I did feel bad to know that wasn't the case. It is now 2 weeks since my op and I'm still tender but feeling much better. My stomach feels like it has bumps and I'm not sure if that's normal or will settle but I have a check up in a couple weeks time so will ask. I'm still wearing my compression garment 24/7.All in all I am very happy with Dr Lanzer and his staff, they all did a great job, my only gripe is I think I should of had a choice to stay the night or leave. It was way too soon for me to wake up from local anaesthetic and walk out their door after the op I had just had. I know it's day surgery only but maybe they should only do them in morning to give enough time to rest after op.
