Excellent Tummy Tuck Results!

WORTH IT
Thanks Dr. O’Connell for my abdominoplasty; you did an amazing job! It has been over a year and the results continue to look and feel fabulous. My stomach feels healthy and naturally contoured. My ab strength is so much stronger now and a huge benefit at the health club. My clothes fit so well and comfortably. I highly recommend Dr. O’Connell to anyone. He worked with me all throughout the process, answering all concerns before and after surgery. It took me months to decide because it was a major surgery and required making an informed decision. I had to work through my nervous anxiety too. I am beyond glad that I had surgery. I always follow pre-op and post-op instructions and got someone to support me through the first week of healing. Getting through the first week or two is key. I am eternally grateful to you and your staff for taking great care of me!

It's great to read how your tummy tuck experience went! It'd be brilliant to read any of your favourite recovery tips and how you maintained your results as you fully healed,

I kept a humidifier by my bed or couch because I have sinus drip issues. My fear of having to cough post-op since abdominal muscles are needed for that was a concern. The humidifier worked so well! Another tip since I am short was a small stepping stool by my bed which is high so I could climb in and out of bed carefully worked nicely. Also, I set up a way to support myself rolling over to get up out of bed gingerly. Sort grab on too.

Take the post op meds as prescribed to stay ahead of pain, do not wait for the pain.

Otherwise relax, heal, watch great movies and follow post-op!! The first week is key. It is worth it!!
