On March 25, 2018 I am getting a tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast lift with no implants. I am still undecided about implants but is a possibility in the near future. I chose Dr. Becker in Alcoa, TN
I decided to move forward with surgery after a big weight-loss and Im done having children. I chose Dr. Becker after researching on online. I scheduled a consultation with him and depending on how that went determined if I went on anymore. After his consultation I felt confident and comfortable with him so I did not go any more consultations. I didn’t go in with a lot of questions but told him I was just ready to hear what he had to say. He was straightforward and this is some of the things I remember from his consultation that was important to me 1. My incision would go hip to hip and come up on the sides since I have a little bit more loose skin 3. I asked if I can expect a change in my pubic area and he said yes his incision will go down to my pubic area2. He may use lipo on my sides. He will not lipo the full “flank” area just what you can see from the front. I will not have a separate little incision for the lipo 3. He said my stomach looks pretty much textbook tummy tuck and he says no issues with it. 4. I will come home with 4 drains ( L hip, R hip, L breast, R breast) and a catheter. The catheter will be removed the very next day at my one day post op appointment. Three of the drains will be removed at my one week post op appointment and the last one will be removed determined by the amount of drainage estimated at around 3 week mark. 5. I will see him at 1 day post op, one week post op, 3 weeks post op, 6 weeks post op, and around 3-6 months. 6. If I chose implants he said I could be ready at 6 weeks assuming healing and everything goes well 7. He said my breasts are in bad shape ( 40F to 36b and breastfeeding) he assumes I won’t have much left and if I do get implants what I have will be mainly all implant. For better results he recommends doing the breast in two stages so I will get the lift now and at a later date implants if I decide to Move forward with implants 8. I will wear a compression garment for 6 weeks 24/7 then switch to another one that’s 12 hours on 12 hours off. They are all provided.

I had trouble uploading this and typed it out several times before it posted. Sorry for all of the grammar mistakes. It is a pet peeve of mine and it kills me I can’t edit.
