WORTH IT$4,000

Doing a mini TT as the extra skin is the problem, my abs underneath are pretty strong, but after 3 kids they still seem to protrude more than they should for as strong as my core is. All my stretch marks are below my belly button. While my BB is no where near perfect, I am perfectly happy with its appearance, so I had no interest in a full TT. I am pretty close to my ideal weight, a very muscular build. 5'8" / 150 lbs

Hello Sandy-
I had a mini tummy tuck, lipo to flanks abs and inner thighs as well as breast augmentation a little over 4 months ago. I didn't need any muscle work done because my core is pretty strong also. I work out on a regualar basis. I am also pretty close to my ideal weight. 5'6", 145 pounds. I am so happy with my results. My clothes look and fit so much better and my lower abs are flatter. My doctor thinks that they still will shrink even more. Full results can take up to a year. You didn't say if you were doing lipo also. I felt that my mini tummy tuck turned out so well because it was combined with the lipo. You're getting close to your surgery date. Praying for you. The hardest part for me was being patient waiting for the results. My abs were swollen for much longer than I had expected. I had a hard time believing that they would, in the end look great.

Oh my gosh thank u so much for your note and your prayers!!! It is SO helpful to hear from someone in my same shoes! I have many friends who have done new breasts (I am also doing silicone cohesive gel 360cc above muscle -- see my other post) and 3 who have done full TT but no one personally who has done a mini TT. I will talk to my surgeon day-of about possible lipo but as of now I have planned to opt out of it, bc I really am happy with my shape (natural with curves, honestly even really ok with my cellulite which I don't think is too bad.... I guess I have seen a lot of pics where lipo was so obvious and created a "done" look, and I guess I'd rather keep my natural curves and size than trade for smaller size but potential for "lipo look" -- does that make sense?) but if he can do a little lipo not too close to the skin surface I think I'd be ok. The price I paid includes a bit of lipo.
Again, thank u SO much and pls keep in touch!

I had a mini tt with hip to hip scar a month ago. At 3 weeks I could really see the shape and swelling went down. Now at 1 month I'm back to working out (no weights until 6 weeks po) and I'm swelling like crazy! I feel preggo. Can't wait to de swell. How long did it take you before the swelling went down. I made the mistake of going jeans shopping. lol Ugh, I'm glad to hear you also were swollen longer than expected. I would hate to think it's permanent. Can't wait to see my real results.

How exciting! You'll love it. It really is life changing. I also didn't want a full for lots of reasons. Was glad my ps suggested a mini. I'm happy with my tummy and prefer a natural look as well. Just needed a little tweeking ;). Best to you! It's coming up soon! Happy for you!

Have my follow up today. So far so good. Taking oxy and it's working well, just generalized soreness, tightness, discomfort. Lots of loving help surrounding me. Have NO idea how do full TTs with implants under the muscle! (Mine is mini TT plus over-muscle.) More pics later!
