WORTH IT$5,000
It's been 1 yr 8 months since my mini tummy tuck with some touch up lipo about 10 months ago. Everyday I put on my clothes and I am reminded how much I love my TT. Last week I went on vacation to the beach and again I was reminded how happy I am that I did this. I wore my 2 piece bathing suit proudly, never feeling that ick feeling of disgust when you see your own reflection or like I needed to cover myself. I felt confident, comfortable and I loved it. The money and the scar are worth it!!

hi did you have muscle repair? Can you remember how mobile you were after 10 days or so and how the pain was?

I did have the muscle repair and absolutely love that part of it. I would not recommend going through the surgery and the scar without having that done. My stomach muscles are flat and tight as a drum. It's hard to remember the specifics of the recovery but I'm a single mom and at the time my 2 kids were 4 and 5 yr old. I think my surgery was on a wed or thur and kids came home Sunday evening and I'm completely on my own. The hardest thing was keeping the kids from wanting to jump and climb on my, and I only took 1 week off of work. For the most part, there wasn't much pain involved. After several weeks when the nerves start to heal and grow back I started to experience more soreness but not pain.

thanks, this is really helpful. i've got a 2 and 4 year old, so bit concerned as 2 yr old wants picking up a lot...have been told can't lift for 4 weeks! Altho I'm not on my own my husband is working 7 days a week so not gonna get much help, good to know you did it on your own (albeit that your kids are a bit older)...anyway, you must be please as you're looking great and good to hear that tummy muscles are nice & tight, as i'm also having mine repaired. Currently got a permanently protruding belly!

No I just had one mini TT. The second procedure was to break up some of the internal scar tissue and do some additional liposuction. They didn't reopen my whole TT scar but the did use the TT incision for cannula entry points.

OK I had a T.T about 9 years ago and the doctor didn't pull the muscle tight enough it's not real bad but I am been thinking about having this fixed so that's why I was asking and by the way your stomach looks great :)

If they can, I would imagine that they would use the existing scar as the incision. When it's done it might be in a different location tho. I say go for it. Best of luck!!

You are such an inspiration! I am 20 days from my TT and I can't wait to wear a pair of jeans and not have the muffin top. It really is constantly on my mind throughout my day because of how uncomfortable it is to have my jeans fit so tight at my waist and also the feelings of self consciousness because it looks so out of place to have this spare tire around my middle when I'm not a big person. I can't wait to be able to get dressed and then just go about my day!
You look wonderful!

Thank you so much. I'm excited for you. In my before pics you can't tell much because I don't have on jeans, but when I had in jeans or anything with a waiste it was the same as you describe. Thin person with muffin top bulging out and over everything. Best of luck!!

I didn't keep my before pictures from my original TT and lipo surgery in 2013. I did find these pictures that were taken before the surgery but not for this purpose. So keep in mind these pictures are at my super skinny weight, I know my belly is showing so I'm sucking it in, stretching my mid section out so no rolls and holding my breath. Also no jeans pushing my muffin top up, over and out. With jeans on and from the back, my flanks were huge.

Looking great! Did you just have the mini-tuck and some lipo suction? Where did you have the lipo? I am so scared of the pain of both mini plus lipo. How was the recovery for you? So nervous! I hope I am at least a good candidate for a mini. I don't know if I could do the full. I don't think I am that brave. sigh.
