I had a full tt. I swelled up really bad for the first week and thought id ruined my body. But it is now 6 weeks post op and everything is great. There is still a lot of numbness. I had lypo on tye flanks as well. My question is. .... i thought the flanks included the back side of my hips! Now that i have this flat tummy and no fat on the front side of my hips the back side of that spare tire i had is really ppronounced and it just bugs me more than ever. I feel im out of proportion now. Are the back side of the hip not generally included in lypo of the flanks and full tt?

Did you speak with your doctor about your concerns with this?   I am wondering how much is swelling?

I haven't yet. I see him on april 20th. I will see if there is someway i can email him. I naturally have those hips that are just high in the back (bigger boned) so the fat that sits on top of the upper hips in the back are really pronounced. Personally i dont think its swelling i think it is just that now that i dont have any rolls in front and its nice and flat that my hips feel big and out of proportion:( he did lypo my hips in front but now i still have the other half of my spare tire:(

I saw him yesterday and told him my concerns on my hip area. He offered to do that coolsculpting. So it looks like that's what I'll be trying in 1 1/2 months.

Wonderful, communication is everything with your surgeon.

I am 2.5 weeks post mini TT, muscle repair and lipo. This was my third cosmetic procedure with this surgeon. My lipo was aggressive (at my request) and while he removed 3.5 pounds of fat from my upper/lower abdomen and flanks, there was no lipo performed past that. The surgeon specifically told me that he would not be turning me over to lipo...based on that, I believe you may have had to specifically ask for lipo that extended around the belt line area. I hope that's helpful. Best of luck to you. :)

I think you look fantastic! Wow! I just had a mini tt and coolsculpting 2 weeks ago...I swear I already see results from the coolscultping more than the mini! It came free with my breast aug. If you check out my pics, I had my flanks coolsculpted....results are supposed to take a couple months, so I'll post more pics in a couple weeks. I feel like they're smaller though!

When i got my first tt, bl and flanks, i thought tht the flanks was the back, i just found out abt a couple of months ago tht that back is a separate procedure bc mainly they have to roll u ovr so u have to pay separately. But i thinks it was worth i getting it done altogethr bc u can heal altogether and the anesia is already paid for. Thts why it,s good to c several ps,s bc u can find out different info. Take care !
