After 3 years of research, I finally went through with the tummy tuck. I am 27 years old, I have a single boy and then twin boys. My last pregnancy left my body a mess. I have a slim figure but with extra skin sagging down. It was hard for me to buy clothes because I needed something with a big waist with a small butt and...you see where I am getting at. The day of the surgery I arrived an hour and a half early, I filled out some paperwork, they did my vitals, I got undressed and into a gown and waited on the bed for one consent form. Once I signed it, they gave me versed in my IV, felt loopy and they wheeled me out of the room and into the surgery room. The next thing I remember is a nurse waking me up and I am shivering cold. She asked what my pain was and I told her a nine so she gave me meds. She gave me some more blankets and I felt better. My husband came by my side and we waited until I had to use the restroom in order to leave. Make sure you have someone with you for a week or two after the surgery. The pain is not that bad. When compared to my emergency twin c-section- a tummy tuck was half of that pain. It has been 3 days since my tummy tuck and when I look at myself I am already happy with the results.

I am 48 years old and have 3 grown children and in the last 2 years lost 114lbs and not wanting to have a TT and BA. I have excess skin and sagging of the breast. I have chosen a PS and plan to have the surgery in August. Do you have any advice or secrets to aid in the recovery period and for the TT scar.

Hi, I had a TT with dr Dechard 3 weeks ago and am experiencing tissue swelling in lower abdomen and Punic area. It's hard and just bulges out. Wanted to know if you experienced the same thing and if it ever went away? Other than that I am very happy with my results! :)
