I am almost 4 months exactly from my surgery date and my butt is healing great I have had no further complications and the scar looks great! I am going to start doing Fraxel treatments on it to help minimize the appearance. My butt doesn't feel lumpy, it is not painful, and the only thing I am experiencing is numbness along the incision line which is completely normal. I am so glad I found this website and have had all the support I have. Please feel free to message me if you are having problems with your butt. I'm here!

Three weeks after surgery
beautygal99September 25, 2014
Hi girls, here are some pictures of about two weeks after my surgery. The big piece of what looks like to be tape on my back is a product called embrace it holds together the scar and releases the tension so that it does not stretch I highly recommend it. I am also using a scar treatment now called Dermatix from Obagi. Seems to be working

Hi, Came across your journey from the RS emails. Sounds like you have been through a tough road, you poor thing. I am glad you are doing so well and have made it through such a traumatic journey. Thank you for your honest writing. I am having my full TT with Dr. Repta on November 21st. He was my third consult and he is such a sweetheart and he seems so skilled, knowledgeable and patient. I have faith that things will turn out well. Continued healing and enjoy the holidays!

I had a tt and will probably have Repta revise it in the future. Keep me posted on your results. Don't forget I've had a tt so if u have any ?'s let me know. It's a great investment and I'm sure you both will do great!!

Hi beautygal99, today I am 13 days out from my full TT with Dr. Repta. You can see my pics on my profile. I read, I believe, on his scottsdaletummytuck blog that he uses Exparel and is very gentle with the tissues during surgery, and I never once took the oxycodone he prescribed. I even had liposuction of my flanks and upper belly. He really cares about his patients and their results. So far I have been very pleased with my after care. How are you doing?

I have a question. I'm considering coming to Az from NY to have the same procedure done with Dr Repta, how long is the healing process where you can resume to normally activity.

Hi annad1, I had a full tummy tuck with lipo, and I am 13 days out today. IF I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO I WOULD GO BACK TO WORK.
December 4, 2014
Thank you for the info. I'm not concerned much about going back to work I'm concerned about removing the silicone from my buttocks and how long I would have to wait to get back on the plane to go home if I decide to go to Az

Wow!!! Your butt looks great now! I can't wait to get mine fixed! thanks for sharing!

Hello, it is a great testimony, thanks for sharing it. Have you considered a bbl after this exhausting and scary process? God bless!

Oops sorry I pressed to early. Tummy tuck is a tough recovery I don't think it matters your age and how fit you are, it is major abdominal surgery, please keep that in mind. I am currently not working and so I don't have that pressure to,get back to work. The toughest thing is that you are bent over for a good three weeks and pretty swollen and you have to contend with your drains, so working becomes challenging, but I,know many of the gals have to go back after a couple of,weeks. Sleeping is an issue too. I guess what I am saying is it's a marathon of a recovery, but with Dr. Repta it will be so worth it. I mean I never took the pain meds I only took extra strength Tylenol and on occasion took a half of a muscle,relaxer. He's very gentle with your tissues, he doesn't have the attitude, "Oh the patient is under anesthesia, I can do,whatever I want to with this body to get the best result." I read his blog from top to bottom, and watched his videos on RS too. He's not God or anything like that, but I am thankful to God, that He lead me to him. He has great ratings on this site too. Best wishes to you Sweetheart, let us know what you decide.

annad1 we have the same concerns. I really like the results that Dr Repta provides, but I live in Atlanta and am concerned about how long I will have to be in a hotel in Arizona after surgery. I'm not concerned w/the scarring, I just want this back pain to go away, which is my main complaint. I don't have any discoloration, lumps, cellulite. I just have some of the symptoms that one would have from silicone poisoning, per Dr Susan Kolb of Atlanta. A lot of her patients who have silicone poisoning from breast implants go to her for ex plantation and detoxification. Anyway, annad1 when are you planning on having the surgery w/Dr Repta and have you had an MRI/X-ray/cat scan yet? I have had an MRI & Ex ray and both came back normal. I have an appt to have a steroid shot in my back at the end of the month, but Dr Kolb said it won't help because it's the silicone that has migrated that's causing the pain. IDK, but I will try anything now. I'm currently taking Mobic/Muscle Relaxers which don't really provide much help. I pray that everyone with these silicone issues finds some kind of relief. Those of you who are thinking about getting silicone butt injections and have read all of these comments/posts/ forums etc and still get them--Good luck! I don't care if your injector says its medical grade silicone like I was told, you really don't knw so just don't do it! God Bless.

I had silicone injections 20 years ago. Unfortunately I don't have the money to have it removed and insurance doesn't cover it. My butt looks so much like your before pics. I have severe joint pain, numbness in my legs and feet, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. And even worse is the fact that I have been on
oxycodone for ten years so I am addicted to pain pills also. I don't abuse them but I am in so much pain most of the time I have to take them. I wish I could go back in time but despite everything that is wrong I thank god everyday because I know it could always be worse. I just wish I could do the things that I used to love to do. Go to the gym, go dancing or just stay up late. I am tired all the time. I just wanted to say thank you because your post gives me a little hope.
