My doctor was great but I wanted lipo of the flanks. She wouldn't do that at the same time as the tummy tuck. And now I am let with love handles. And my boobs gonna get them lifted now. This is so upsetting all working out I done and eating healthy for years just to look like this

Did she tell you before the surgery she would not do Lipo? Many surgeons do it automatically on the blanks with a tummy tuck. My doctor would've done it if I needed it but he said I didn't need it. Does she give you a discount price when you're done healing if you still feel you need it? I still think you look great!

She told me at my first consult with her should wouldn't do lipo on my flanks she told me I didn't need it. And then I asked her again at me pre op app and she said that if I wanted lipo it would be at least 3 months after my tummy tuck and she told me I didn't need it but if I felt like I still wanted lipo after my tummy tuck she would do it. I just wish she would have done lipo at the same time so I could just be down that one time and get It all done at same time that way I didn't have to go back again. I told her at my post op app that I can tell that I am gonna want lipo she said heal first and we will do the lipo :/ I just wanted it all done at one time. I have 5 kiddos to take care of and don't have time to be out of commission that much. I'm not sure if I would get discount or not but I am gonna ask her when I go back March 23 for my almost 1 month post op app.

Ugh! I'm so sorry. There are some doctors that will not do Lipo because they feel like it compromises the blood flow in healing in the tummy tuck area. But most doctors nowadays at least do a little light Lipo to the flanks if needed. I totally get you don't wanna go through the pain and recovery again, especially with five kids! Hopefully she will give you a good discount as a returning patient. I suppose if you had known she wouldn't do Lipo you probably would've chosen another surgeon!

Had my surgery so far so good. My boobs feel like they are engorged with breast milk but not bad pain. My tummy burns under the muscle while sitting/laying in my chair feels like I have done bout 10000 crunches and sore when I get up to used the bathroom on the incision but I am pretty good with pain so not to in to much pain yet just mild discomfort. I hear day 2/3 are the worst ready to get day 2 and 3 over. Will update as the days go by.
