I am 40 years old. I have 4 children 22, 21, 11, and 5. I am 5'7 187lbs. After having children body is a disaster????. Dr. Smith here in Edina, Minnesota will be doing my surgery. I am a bit nervous because I feel like I need a breast lift and he says I don't???? I'm getting 650cc silicone round implants and he's only doing Lipo to my upper stomach and I feel like I should have lipo of my flanks. I will see next Thursday how this all turns out????????. One of my biggest fear is being shaped like a box.

I am very painful and emotional. I'm not really like my results as of now. Why is my stomach not flat? and my boobs are saggy. Did anyone lease have the bunched up look on their stomach? I'm back is killing me from all the bending when I walk. I hope I feel better tomorrow. I am suppose to take a shower but I don't thinks that's going to happen today.

My ps said it's swollen and it will go down...I'm not convinced.

Did he put drains? I know it helps with that. Plus it doesn't look like he removed enough skin to get ur tummy flat.. I'm upset with this PS.

He placed one Hemovac on the right side of my hip. Yes, it looks like more skin needed to be removed. I'm so irritated and painful today.

Today is no better then yesterday. My stomach still feels tight and swollen. Today I tried to stay away from the Norco, I ended up taking one pill and 2 Ibuprofen PM. I still am not liking my stomach I just don't understand why it's not flat, my stomach is all bunched up and round. I am really regretting this surgery, I have never cried so much in my life. I hope it gets better in the next couple of days:(.

What has your surgeon said in response to your questions about your belly?

I saw him this morning and he said it looks "nice and flat". He also said I need to diet and exercise to lose the rest of the stomach fat. :(

Maybe it's just excess swelling? If he thought you had that much fat he maybe shouldn't have done the surgery? Who was your MD?
