Hello everyone!! I've been reading reviews for a while now and Im finally beginning my journey. I am scheduled for tomorrow evening and I am nervous.. I have had issues with my pouch, muffin top, as many call it and my back fat. I decided to look into it when my best friend got a tummy tuck. Loved her results but not the recovery. So i opted in for just lipo. And now I'm ready!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm praying everything goes smoothly. If anyone has any suggestions for me pre-op and post-op, I would really appreciate it. Thank guys!!

I'm excited for you. Would love to see you post after pictures to see the results. I'm going to get lipo also and holding off on the tummy tuck. My doctor said to see if I can live with the saggy skin and if not, we can proceed with the tt. My stomach is very similar to yours.
June 21, 2016
Btw, good luck with your sx and hope your recovery goes smoothly. Use lots of arnica gel :)
June 21, 2016
I initially was going to do the tummy tuck but after watching my friend go through her recovery I decided to wait. Lol. But yes, I will be posting pics later this evening after my procedure.
June 21, 2016
Thank you. I've been taking the arnica pills. Do I need to get the gel too?
June 23, 2016
I like the arnica gel. It helped with my bruising.

I had a TT and a BBL with lipo on June 10 I must say I hate my swelling but hardly no pain I am so in my back from lipo but not unbearable and I hate not be able to sit on my butt. But I must say I love dr Dillion and his staff
June 21, 2016
Congratulations. And that is reassuring. Lol. Im here now waiting for my procedure. I'm soooo excited...

Hi I will be going to Dr. Dillon in a month how are you feeling now? which is 2 months later is your stomach flatter any changes can you send me pics?
August 21, 2016
Hiii. My stomach was rock hard when I 1st got my lipo. Now its starting to get soft. So it's not as flat as it was b4. I am satisfied with my results but I'm going to have to go back because he missed a couple of spots. So when you go, just make sure he knows exactly what you want. Like make sure he knows the specific areas you want attention paid to.

Surgery went well

So I had my procedure last night everything went well. I was out of it last night. My skin is really loose like it was after having my son. But with my compression garment it should be ok. I can tell a big difference already. Once I change my dressings I will take pics to show you guys...

Thank you hunn.
June 27, 2016
Yes keep us updated. I had my bbl done a day or two after you. Did you also go to Dr. Dillon?
June 27, 2016
Yes I did. He was great..
June 27, 2016
So did i. How are you?
I feel like [RS bleep]!!!! I can hardly do anything on my own. But throughout the night im force to because I have a 6 month old. Meds not really doing for me. At first they were just making me sleep, now my body just completely immune to them.
June 27, 2016
By the way.... you look AMAZING!!!
June 27, 2016
I'm sorry you're in pain. I'm good though. I took 1 of the pain pills he gave me but I'm really not in pain. It's more discomfort. That's it for me though. Ive been out and everything girl. Probably need to sit down but I get antsy. Lol. I do take it easy though. It's a little hard to get in and out of the bed but once I'm out I'm good.
June 27, 2016
And thank you. I'm starting to swell more now so i look like a balloon now which is weird but I go for my follow up on Wed so I'm definitely going to ask about that.

i just scheduled my first consultation! Im looking forward to seeing how your results turn out!
June 23, 2016
It takes time to find a doc but I'm happy with my decision... Dr.Dillon was great...
June 23, 2016
Thank you so much for posting pics. This helps me to know what to expect with my tummy. I know everyone is different, but I'm just worried about the extra tummy skin once the fat is removed.
You look great and I'm glad your sx went well.
Again, thanks for posting.

Cant wait to see more of your tummy pictures. I have a big belly and I love your results. Hoping my belly lipo turns out like yours. You look great!!
June 28, 2016
Thank you. Dr. Dillon did a great job. I'm really swollen now so I'm waiting for some of the swelling to subside before I post more pics.
