Restarting my journey...

WORTH IT$7,257
I am once again recommitting to getting a tummy tuck. I have researched and made up my mind that it is certainly what I want. I am now trying to map out the perfect time and pick a doctor. I have to lose 40-45 lbs first but I am so excited about the idea of a new me! I have 2 beautiful kids but they changed me. I want to feel confident in my skin instead of layering and hiding. Winter 2018 is my goal!

I am shaped mostly like the the women in these pix but I want a flat tummy again! I am 5’2 / 220 lbs. My goal weight is 175. I love my curves. I just want a flat tummy. No pudge, no bulge, no shapewear.

It took me two years to make the leap but I've finally chosen a PS and paid all my fees. My big day is January 17, 2020! I'm so excited. After 2 children, a hernia and weight changes, I'm going for it! I'm having a TT with HR and MR and lipo of my sides and mons. My price includes exparel.
So far customer service has been stellar! Everyone is so sweet! I can't wait to see my results!

So happy for you! My tt is February 17. Excited and nervous. Have had 3 hernia repairs and time for all this to be gone. I too will have t/t, h/r and m/r with lipo. Keep us posted on your recovery

They are hernia repair and muscle repair. I must have drifted off right before you woke up. I finally slept for 6 hours. Wow rest is amazing.

Still swollen but very happy. My scar is not crooked or ugly. My belly button will heal to be so cute. My sides were lipo'd and I'm still sore there. I got my drains removed 6DPO and my stitches will come out at 15 DPO.

Looks good, I’m 2 1/2 weeks post-op also. I swell a lot but the overall, I’m happy as well. The marks are going away slowly but great. Keep me posted on your progress.

Congratulations you look amazing! I am 15 weeks PO from my TT and back pretty much to 100%. My belly button still looks weird but my PS says bc I’m still swollen and since I’m working out a lot again the swelling still gets worse later on in the day. I’m really happy with my results. On my next visit (6 month) we will decide if we need to do something additional on my hips since they still seem like they poke out a lot but again that may be swelling. I look forward to watching your transformation:)

You look amazing. I was scheduled to have me tt 3/23 but the Covid19 postponed it until 5/18. My body type is like yours, I hope I look as good as you.
