Tummy Tuck and Lipo to Flanks
ORIGINAL POST
Had a tt and lipo to flanks as well as tightening...
WORTH IT$8,000
Had a tt and lipo to flanks as well as tightening of breast augmentation I had 16 months ago. I wanted to be tighter in breasts although my ps didn't think it was necessary but I thought whilst I am under I may as well go as tight as possible :). Very happy with all results . Herewith some pics of tt. Bruising on thighs from lipo took 3 weeks to disappear . I am now 5 weeks post op

Bruising to thighs after lipo
Forgot to add this pic of bruising to thigh area after lipo on the flanks. It looks worse than what it is, I am still numb around there and have been informed that it can take upto 18 months to get feeling back

Your scar is amazing!

Thanks and hopefully in a years time it won't even be noticeable . I using bio oil daily

May I make a suggestion? I have researched bio oil extensively and have found that it doesn't do anything. Since you're putting in the effort to moisturize daily you might as well get something out of it right? Especially with a scar that could virtually be invisible if you use the right products... (I was going to swear by it too)
Here's the review on bio oil:

Here's the video of what I plan on doing for scar therapy - almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil :)

I hope I didn't overstep my welcome :)

Thanks for your post re bio oil. I used it previously on my breast augmentation and a year later my scars were hardly visible. Perhaps I am just lucky with the way I heal???

I think you're an amazing healer for sure. Look at that scar!! 3 weeks? You've got to be kidding me. I have a feeling mine is going to be pretty awesome too. I didn't use anything on my breast aug and barely have any scarring. Sorry if I overstepped where my opinion wasn't warranted :)

Holy CRAP! Your bruising is astronomical. Did it go down? Your scar is spectacular!!! Gorgeous!!!!
What kind of binder did you receive? Did it go down your legs? I'm very curious about your experience with your lipo. My lipo of flanks continues to swell. I have a binder that cuts me off at the thigh level and all of my fluid retention is happening there. My hips and thighs feel HUGE. I am miserable. My tummy is looking fantastic but I have acquired a new "thunder ass" as I have been calling it. What the heck? I would say flank lipo has been the hardest recovery. Would you agree?

Bruising looked worse than what it was. I freaked out at the first sight of it. No pain at all but still tender at 6 weeks post op. brusing was gone at week 3. Binders were a nightmare. When I woke up after op there was one in me which I had purchased prior to procedure. It clipped between the legs and zipped close n the sides. It was most uncomfy and way too tight . Day after op my ps pulled that garment off me as I was battling to breathe it was so tight and he ordered another one from theatre. It was a wrap around Velcro binder which is used for back op's too. It was so much better but after 10 days I had to find a different one as my skin became so sensitive. I searched websites and found another medical supplier with similar binder but bette and softer material. It was s much more comfy. Also dries quickly after wash.
Anyhow good news is today I am 6 Weeks Post Op. GOODBYE BINDERS!
Will post pics of my tt a 6 weeks post op shortly :)

Awe this is so great. Congrats! I finally got my doc's office to write me back. They said that they'd get me a full body binder. Hopefully this gets rid of the weird indentation and transition lump on my thighs. :)

You look fantastic! Glad you're out of the binder. I was glad to be out of it, then went back to it for selling and security. I stopped wearing it completely now. . If I swell, I swell. And I do! But used to it now. Hopefully, juggle will go away soon. Glad you are doing well. Take care.

Thank You So Much. Feels strange to be out of the binder. I do keep it close-by just incase I need to wear it due to swelling as my evenings are times I do seem to swell a bit.
June 6, 2013
I think you look amazing!! if my results in 2 weeks time are half as good as yours Ill be a very happy woman!
