6ft 180lbs 42 Year Old Mom of 4

Oct 2021 we did a little fix on my hips. The ends of each scar poked out a little. They are called “dog ears. But other than that I am so happy with my surgery. I am really happy I chose to go with someone who used my belly button and not make a new one. Fixing the ab muscles during the tummy tuck was a life changer. I haven’t had back issues since the surgery and I am able to workout more , dog up my garden and so much more. Stuff like that used to lay me out for days with horrible back pain!

Back to walking on the treadmill. Feeling normal for the last 4 weeks or so. Haven’t started weights or anything like that. Just walking about 3 miles 4-5 days a week. Boobs are still really high but I know that it takes a long time for them to drop. I am very happy with everything! I was a 38 DD going in and am the same after surgery. It’s exactly what I wanted. Lifted and full and nothing crazy big. Ab muscles still get sore pretty easily but for the most part I am back to normal daily activities. Bummer, haha, since I did love the excuse of letting everyone else take care of me.
Completely worth it all! Pain wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated and didn’t last as long as I thought I would. It took about 6 weeks for me to not get sick from driving. It was very strange how driving even a short distance made me nauseous. But that’s all gone now.

I was expecting the bruising from lipo to be a lot worse. I bruise pretty easily. Had to take the so I could see them. I was actually surprised that it wasn’t worse It was 3 days after surgery. Haven’t taken any since until day 11 and they are pretty much completely gone at this point.
The 26th will be 2 weeks post op. Seems longer than that. I have to keep rechecking the date because the last week and a half has flown by.
