4 weeks post op

WORTH IT
I’m 4 weeks posts still have some bruising and swelling which had me still sore in the areas of Lipo which is my back and flanks. Absolutely no pain and complications with my tummy tuck. My result are as expect I look great in my clothing. Do areas are I’m still waiting for the lumps to go away. I finally scheduled some massages I was to sore to bare them before. A lot of itching which is normal and I recommend Salopas or aspercream for the Pins and needle discomfort with the nerve recovery it helped me a great deal for a few days. I also recommend Motrin Pm to rest as you recover because I couldn’t slee the 1st few weeks. It also helps with avoiding the heavy drugs when you with regular extra strength Tylenol and Advil during the day for any discomfort

One week post -op

It’s been one week so far so good. I have some normal swelling and small blistering from compression garment rubbing. I used bacitracin and non stick guaze. Walking around the house and up the stairs it’s ok but the lower back pain can kick in. I have only use Tylenol Pm past 2 day. Dealing pretty well with normal aches. So far so good!

Best Decision to Have Tummy Tuck with Lipo

I am so blessed to have chosen Dr. T as my surgeon. From the consultation I knew he was the one for me after multiple consults. His relaxed and professional approach makes a difference. His staff is wonderful. The office is very private, clean and convenient for meter parking.
The attentiveness after my tummy tuck and lipo was unmeasurable. No one rushed me and were very gentle. Beatrice called to check on me along with Dr.T. No wait for appointments. You don’t feel like just another case, it’s more like having a physician that could be a family member.
My recovery is going very well, drains removed along with stitches. Only normal swelling. Very pleased with my result at on 1 week post op! I would recommend every patient to op to have exsperal meds (hope I spelled it correctly) it makes a ton of difference during the 1st few days of recovery!!
I would recommend Dr. Taranow to anyone who wants a realistic consult and great results in a private and beautiful office.

Amazing ! Happy healing! Did you get any lipo with your TT? How was pricing ?
Yes I did flanks and upper back.
Amazing! I'm searching really for a good doctor in NYC that will shape me. Some of the plastic surgeons only box you. I want a small waist and belly tucked in. I'm saving up right now to pay cash. I had a breast reduction in February. I only did it because my insurance paid for it in full. I needed it bad because my back and neck were hurting me. I was a 42 G and now I'm a full D. All my fat is stored in the belly region. My legs and arms aren't big either. Thank you for the information. You look fabulous! Make sure give us a 3 months to a year update. :)
