Looked 7 months pregnant and now already looking human. It's only 4 days post op but feeling on top of the world so far despite pain and the dreaded drains! Time to do something for me for a change! Luckily we have best surgeons in South Africa and procedure is accordingly affordable. Full tummy tuck, navel moved and flank lipo...Let's see!

Hi there. Congrats on your courage to go through with it-you and all the other brave ladies!Shoo...that bruising, but despite that you look great!
Who was your doctor? I only see initials?
I am looking for a South African/Capetonian doctor.
Also hoping that more SA ladies will begin posting!
So, again, you look GREAT, and a BIG thank you for posting. Keep doing it...we are interested as to how long it takes to get 100% back to normal physically and emotionally, as well as how the scars look over time!
Cheers:-)

So post op day 5. Had bandages removed and now in binder 24/7 until further notice. One drain out and looking forward to next one. Quite swollen but difference already apparent. Yay! Bruising is crazy!

So finally managed to tape my bottom drain down and now feeling much better. Took ant inflammatory tonight but don't need any pain killers - even managed to cook dinner at the stove sitting on a bar stool! (My husband is on contract in Asia for 3 months so I have to do the best I can). Having my first shower today was phenomenal! At end of the day, and even having gained 7kgs since pre -op, my tummy already looks SO much flatter!
