Mini abdomniplasty

maloo
Hi everyone 18 months ago I had a full abdomniplasty with Andrea Marando at the spire Macclesfield Cheshire .the result was amazing and I was thoroughly delighted .
Sadly due to some personal circumstances I lost some weight and became sad with how my tummy tuck had changed as the idea is normally you've lost weight and therefore want the abdomniplasty to remove the excess skin.
I contacted Mr marandos secretary the lovely Martina who made a appointment.
I saw Mr Marando in March he was as always the perfect gentleman he listened looked and totally understood and as I said to him this was by no means a reflection of the previous surgery as I had been 100% happy.
I had my surgery last Wednesday the recovery has been astounding I can honestly say I've felt no pain at all the only discomfort is the binder but I can live with that ,I was discharged the same day have had no problems what so ever .I saw Mr marando yesterday 9th may 5 days post op every thing is healing very well I'm still amazed at how mobile I've been from day one. I don't have any photos as yet but I will add them as soon as I receive them.
All I can say if your thinking of having any cosmetic surgery go along have a chat and discuss any procedures with Mr marando ,he will take the time to explain answer any questions you will not feel pressured or hurried at the appointment .
I'm not planning any further surgeries as I've only really been unhappy with my tummy after child birth and 2 major operations which is when I became unhappy .
Will update with photos in next few days

six months post op Bikini shot

maloo
It's now been six months since my op where has the time gone ?
We are now coming into summer and I'm so looking forward to wearing a bikini on the beach for the first time in 40 years.
Thanks to Andrea Marando who has enabled me to do this His hard work and me doing exactly as he has told me has obviously paid off .
I really can't thank you enough Andrea.
All I can say is if you decide to have any kind of procedure just do as you are told and remember none of us are the same we all have different helping factors what works for one doesn't necessary work for another,be patient and don't push your self too hard and think of the hard work Andrea has done also the hard work you will put in to get the best recovery for you.
Good luck to anyone waiting remember if you have concerns or just need reassurance there are plenty of ladies on here who have experienced the same and will be glad to help.P's thank you to everyone on here for sharing your experiences .

Hi Glynis hope you are doing ok I know you still have swelling and it's really frustrating it will go it just takes time. Have you thought of the lymphatic draining massages they really do work. I had amazing time at the wedding every thing went perfect for us . We'll it's not really bikini weather here in UK think I probably need a holiday in warmer climate lol take care and keep us updated xx

Hi Ruth glad you had a good time at the wedding it was a lovely day for you all as well. Can't find anybody that does the massages round here nearest is Mancester so far been looking. Thinking of going to our local hopise and asking if they know of any one .[RS bleep]
May 25, 2015
Hi yes the weather was good and so was the day . Have you Google lymphatic massages Nelson or another local town that's how I found my lady.it's a good idea to try the hospice they might be able to help. sorry your still swollen but do remember you have been opened twice and it is still early days I was still swelling till recently.

Ruth you look Amazing x
May 27, 2015
Ah thanks I'm really feeling good now mentally and physically I think I'm quite impatient person and expected to be back to normal after 6 weeks truth be known to make a full recovery and the swelling to go it took about 5 months but worth every minute. This will be you soon and at least you have the summer to look forward to which according to weather forecast it's going to be a very hot one so fingers crossed xx
May 27, 2015
Just hope the summer comes soon . I can sit out in my garden and make a recovery in the sunshine , if I look half as good as you I will be one happy lady x

Hiya Ruth I posted a question on here with photos about my swelling after I noticed you had asked one before. Got Two answers and feel a bit better about it now I haven't seen Andrea for 3 weeks I miss our meetings.lol He's been absolutely brilliant with me seen him every week sometime twice I will be seing him in a week or two, so I will feel Evan better after I seen him. Think my minds been running a bit to much. Watch a video of massage on YouTube might have a go myself. I can't Seem to find any one near me that does it, don't mind traveling a bit but a hour is a bit to far by time you've sat in a car comming back you won't feel the benefit. Any way I have asked the sun to come out for you and your bikini,s. We have booked holiday to Fuerteventur for September in a villa with our own pool with friends so should be great. Trying to loose more wieght now not much more but 7/10 lbs will do might help as well. Take care Glynis.xx hugs
May 25, 2015
ah bless you don't be losing too much weight as when your swelling goes and it will coz you will end up with lose skin you have a lively holiday to look forward to so you best get some bikinis . We are going to the states for a month in august so I'm looking forward to that. I saw Andrea on 8th May will see him later in the year just for a yearly check and decide if I want any liposuction but I'm using the vibrate plate daily and swimming I've only used the plate every day last week and I can see a difference. chin up take care big hugs to you xx

Glad you like the plate but don't let your head shake to much, but it will really do your legs. My legs are thin sticks as Andrea put it to the top half. No bikinis for me ever. I tryed some shorts on today size 14 miles to big and could have got both legs in one. I have one but not gone it yet letting things settle down might try going swimming next week been a bit apprehensive about going cos my skin is so tight at top of legs in groin area.. Your a right globe trotter you're never at home these days alright for some. Hope you enjoy it. We have booked for Kos for next summer with Stephens son Chris and my son Chris and both families they wanted to book early good job we did got last rooms. Take care you don't need to answer I know where you are if I need any advice xx
