Hysterectomy in my 20's ....I've had a pouch since then . Funny, bought a dress in my late 20's never wore it because of the porch and still holding on to it ! I chose Dr. schulman to do a smooth tuck with lipo to my back . I feel really confident that he is the only one I can trust to do this .... put down my deposit today !! Before pics to come !

Thank you for reaching out , that was very thoughtful . I can't believe I put down my deposit and set a date . I've wanted this for so long and .... it's on my bucket list ! ny husband and son don't think I should do it . They say I look beautiful now but it's for me . I see what they don't ... you know what I mean?

Btw .... I didn't mention that I'm 60. I'm really nervous about the healing process at my age but I've waited too long for this to back out now . If there is anyone out there around my age that has had this surgery please let me know your experience ... thanks

Hi are you still waiting for your tummy tuck, or have you had it already. I had mine December 20th and am 62 years old. Did fine just in the healing stages now.

Surgery was 8:00 am yesterday morning . Had a smooth tuck with Lipo of flanks with Dr Schulman in NYC. A smooth tuck has no muscle repair . Came home yesterday with no pain for day 1. Took Tylenol just to get ahead of any pain but thank God day 1 was good . I'm in day two and feeling a little pain . Nothing Tylenol won't help so we shall see. I have a drain in and there is limited fluid collecting . Lots of bruising but that is to be expected with the lipo (looks worse than it feels ) and it will fade . I took pics pre surgery but somehow I lost them . Will post what the Dr took pre op. Any questions about a smooth tuck. Just ask

The 1st week was rough but not as bad as I anticipated . I didn't have any muscle repair so it made things easier for me . I had what is called a smooth tuck with lipo. Basically it's lipo with extra skin removal. The hardest part was not being able to move around in a complete upright position . My back hurt like heck from being hunched over . The drain was left in for 1 week and thank God was removed at my 1st follow up visit. Let me not forget to say the meds are very binding so if you need to poop. Drink a glass of prune juice . ) it won't disappoint). Lol. I have a pic taken while in surgery will post for you . Tomorrow I will post my belly as is. I am still wearing a binder so I will post after I shower . Hang in ladies !!! It's soooo worth it !
