How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

One month post op..
So I've been a little off the radar,
Firstly because I've got back into my routine/rushed life and secondly because I've tried to remain positive, as some days are filled with unsure of whether the procedure was the best thing..
I healed really quickly - infact my surgeon gave me all clear for light training at four weeks instead of six - that was absolute heaven to the ears! Also no more garments etc .. Huge relief as they do bring you down - in terms of swelling, it fluctuates .. One day I feel tiny the next I'm solid and swollen.
Why I have a little regret and question my decision wouldn't be regards to the mini tt as much.. My scars low, beautifully thin and my surgeon is really skilled at making the cuts good ones, however ( out of anyone's control ) I still have severe stretch marks, from my pubic area to above my navel; I don't think even a full tt would remove that damage...
My real questionable issue is the lipo.. I had lower flanks, lower abs and upper abs.. From the post op date 1 the ONLY noticeable area was my flanks, I seemed to have finally been able to reveal my tiny waist that was hidden by stubborn fat.. However, one month post op and it's exactly the same as it was pre op, I feel like it was a wasted procedure and I certainly intend to discuss this with my surgeon during a 3month check up..
I haven't been taking much pictures like I did at the start either.. Once again trying not to look at it too much or I get a little upset and negative, I hope it's just the fact of healing and things shall be up and sunshine again..

One week PO - what the hell do I wear?
I actually can't believe it'll be 7days post op tomorrow, how'd that even go so fast?!!!
I have to say it fluctuates majorly. I totally understand what people mean by your emotions will be everywhere. The first day I was managing fine; day 3 I honestly regretted every decision, I was angry, in pain and really agitated. I feel alot calmer but I am getting frustrated with the swole hell... I LOOK PREGNANT LTERALLY FATTER THAN PRE OP!!!
had post op appt yesterday and I was flat and tiny... Walked the dog today and I am swollen and actually sore! Can't handle being house bound but I guess I feel 'too good to be true" because I'm paying for it now even though I thought I was fine!
Stitches are coming out Friday, yay! Incision did look so nice and low and clean when the nurse was changing/cleaning the area however today literally only by that area I am swollen, hot, tingly and worrying ..
Getting dressed/activities seem normal;
I don't have much support so doing my regular mom duties (no lifting though), only thing I am majorly struggling with is getting dressed! It's impossible to wear clothes I have. I'm making my own fashion statements at the moment trying to hide this whole thing! lol

One day PO.
Well, last night was bearable.. I didn't need pain meds and managed to get to and from toilet just fine. Slept every other hour / awake the other hour so I do feel a little drained.
I was really disappointed in the care I was given at the hospital - some nurses have zero compassion and treat you so [RS bleep] just because it's " cosmetic " .. Well sorry you're in the wrong profession!!
I have a really bad and painful bruise on my right buttom - didn't have lipo there so unsure as to why? Had a little peak at my Tum when nurse was changing my garment earlier - so far so good - a little gutted about stretch marks but I am so happy to finally feel like I have the body I work for - well so far anyway? I am swelling up more and more by the hour and totally gutted that I have no bowel movement even after taking something - I can feel I need to but no luck.
Cannot believe I've finally done it .. At the apartment now.. Will try post updates when things are differ / better.. Bu for now all I want to do is sleep ( which is impossible because it's uncomfortable, not painful just awkward to get comfy )
