Wow, your results look amazing. My dr told me he could correct the scarring left behind by seroma and bursa with liposuction but unfortunately all the my scars are still there. Your dr did it right!! Congrats!!

That's too bad your scarring didn't improve....sorry to hear :(

Your belly button kind of looks like an outie now. Just wondering if you or your doctor are considering a revision?
September 18, 2014
Ya, I'm hoping after the tightness goes away my belly button will relax abit. I will talk with the Dr about it when I see him again. I still feel better about the overall results compared to the first TT.

Oh yah, you definitely have a better result this time around! Congrats. :)

Thanks for sharing this. I'm 53, and having my second TT in two weeks. I vomited about 8 hours after the first one last September, ripped sutures, and was left with a lumpy tummy. Your results are beautiful and give me hope for round 2.

Hey loriagasi, thank you and good luck with the 2nd TT and I am hoping you are as happy with the results as I am with mine. Hopefully you get some meds to help with the nausea . Keep me posted on your surgery.

Wow! Amazing how different, how much better it looks. Glad you were able to get those results the 2nd time around.

Hi Rhodalynn, is that you that Dr. R. is operating on in the video about the pseudo-bursa? I am having my Full TT on Nov. 21st with him. He is so sweet and patient. He has a kind demeanor, that and his work won me over. Can you take a look at my pics that I posted and tell me what you think? I am 5' & four and a half inches. My middle has just sagged over the years and menopause hasn't helped either. I work out aerobically like a fein, but no weights and my torso looks gross. He did tell me I might have a small horizontal scar. Enough about me, your after photos look tremendous! You must be ecstatic with your results. Blessings.

Hi disney21, yes that is me in the video. The pseudo bursa was very uncomfortable and was very glad Dr Repta listened to me. He's an amazing Dr and I am very happy with the outcome 2nd time around. I will take a look at your pics and let you know....good luck on your TT in November and you will be looked after so well with Dr Repta and his team. Keep in touch :)
September 15, 2014
Oh thank you sweetheart! It makes me feel that much better that I seemed to click with Dr. R
September 16, 2014
Hi Disney 21, i did look at your pics and from I can see,I think you will be very happy with the results from Dr Repta.... I started out alot more loose belly around the middle than your pics. I will post new pics at being 6 weeks post op later. Keep us posted on your progress:)
September 16, 2014
Thank you rhodalynn! Scared of the lipo recovery, but I know with rest and PATIENCE it will be worth it. :-)

Wow what in improvement in results after you got the second tummy tuck! You look awesome. I couldn't open the video but will try again. Haven't heard of pseudo bursa before.
September 16, 2014
Thank you for the compliment:) it feels good after the first TT was awful. I wasn't aware of pseudo bursa until i joined Realself and Dr Repta had talked about it and thought that was my problem of feeling tight and pressure swelling on my right side. I was always uncomfortable and wore a binder pretty much for 2 yrs until i saw Dr Repta and he confirmed my problem . I hope you can open the video "Inside the operating room re: pseudo brursa" and you will see how large the sac was the surrounded the seroma....

Yip, I went on Dr. Repta's google plus site and found the video there. Too bad for you that you needed to pay big bucks for your revision after getting unacceptable results with your first TT. I had a revision too but it was done by my original surgeon at no charge to me. I'm loving my results.
