Tummy tuck and lipo

UPDATED FROM TacomaMom

TT and Lipo, 3 weeks post-op and loving the results!

WORTH IT$8,977
I'm not going to sugar coat this, the first few days post-op were mostly awful. A tummy tuck is major surgery and you are completely dependent on other people for everything! I was an emotional mess. In hindsight I think some of my experience was due to a reaction to the pain medication, because once I switched to advil my mood stabilized and I felt much better. I turned the corner on day 11 and feel amazing! I love my results and am so happy with my decision.

I’m scheduled to get a TT and Lift at the end of August. How long until you were able to move around easily? And do you have any current photos?
Sorry, I don't remember. I remember a lot of discomfort from the lipo on my saddlebags, all the deep bruising made it difficult to get comfortable. Also, in hindsight I wish I'd been more clear w my surgeon and had him do a traditional tummy tuck (tighten my abdominal muscles) and not just the skin. Also, my scar is not at all what I was anticipating--it is very noticeable and raised. This isn't because of how I scar--my c-section scar was thin & smooth.

3 days post-op!

3 days post-op and thrilled with my new tummy! Having a lot of pain, much more than I anticipated, but that's because my husband is super paranoid about narcotics and was trickling them in one at a time the first 2 days, making it impossible to get my pain under control. I also added ibuprofen to my pain management after checking with my doctor and that has helped a lot. Very swollen & itchy today. This recovery is no joke!

Looking soooo good!!!! I'm seriously so excited for you!
Please show more PO pictures... I am searching for a plastic surgeon. I have had consultations in Seattle and Bellevue. Did you like yours? Was he from Tacoma?
My surgeon is in Tacoma. He's amazing, I am thrilled with my results! He was very honest about what he could and couldn't do for me. I researched the heck out of this and have zero concerns abt my surgeon. Also loved his staff. It's hard to take pictures bc I am not supposed to stand upright yet and I am swollen and bruised still. Everything is nice and tight! :)

Thank you @KCENC! I can't believe the surgery is over and I'm at home and that my tummy is flat! :) :) :)
Meggierae! I'm so happy to hear from you! I've thought about you every day (but didn't want to be a pest :-). I'm so happy for you, you've done it girl! You're very brave! Now take it easy, let people take care of you and just relax and let your body heal. God bless you. Take care.

Can't wait to see how you progress.
