Dr. Tarranow was heaven sent to me. After contemplating liposuction of my stomach side and back for 5 long months and consulting with 3 other doctors. He made me feel so comfortable in my consultation he was really honest and truthful and I knew I trusted him to work on me. Sara the office manager she is the best one of the sweetest person I have ever met, no exaggeration. She is very well informed about what the doctor will do and what to before and after surgery. Very well organized. I am now 6 days post op and already love what I'm seeing. I was so depressed with body I was in, I no longer liked the image if my body in the mirror. Within a month of walking through Dr. T's door that has changed.I had my surgery on a Friday he gave me his cell phone number in case I had questions. Dr. T also called and checked on me over the weekend and was available for my questions when I called him. I will update as my swelling diminishes.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

Recovery tips

Fab_33
ladies for a fast and speedy recovery drink a lot of tea. My tea of choice is green tea. For my swelling and bruising I use Arnica both the cream and tablets, I also take Bromelain to help reduce swelling. Drink a lot of water and keep everything you eat low in sodium until the swelling is gone. I will on day 1 after surgery you will be sore but it better than the day of surgery you will be able to help yourself. On day 2 you will itch like there is no tomorrow LOL under your garment so I suggest you moisturize, my lotion of choice is Eucerin.

First you look fabulous! 2nd did you have any nerve pain? I had lipo done 11/5/15 and to correct a chronic seroma above my belly button and have been having nerve pain like I had when I had my tummy tuck back in Feb 2015 so wondering if its from the lipo or from both that and previous surgery.

Hello,

Your results are great! I was just wondering, are there any other procedures you got besides lipo?
