Tummy Tuck and 360 Lipo

The staff at Southern Surgical Arts in Chattanooga are the best. And Dr. HiDef (Deal) is one of the most talented PS out there. I have had both a breast augmentation and most recently a tummy tuck and 360 lipo done by him.

He makes sure to take his time to explain and answer any and all questions you may have. And if your ever in need of help it's easy to call and get answers to your questions fast.

Age 29 mom of 3

I visited Dr. Hidef recently for a tummy tuck and 360 lipo, the procedure itself went great. Stayed nearby at a great hotel the night before and checked in at SSA the next morning and was out and back relaxing (sleeping) in my hotel that afternoon. The following morning I went back to the office for my follow up before heading home.

Evening of Day 2- and Day 3 were probably the most uncomfortable due to the tightness from having my muscles sewed back together from where they had separated from pregnancy. And some swelling. Sleeping was also a tad uncomfortable just because I was not able to lay in my normal position (but definitely managed) by day 3 I was done with the heavy pain medication and decided to just stick with a tylenol here and there. Walking wasn't bad just irritating since I could not stand upright (to be expected)

I went back for for my 2 week follow up and everything is healing perfectly. Currently I am 4 weeks post OP and will be going back in a few weeks for my 6-8 week follow up.

At 4 weeks out I am now cleared for light exercise and feeling back to normal. Walking like normal, moving around like normal, sleeping better as I now can turn to my side if needed. Still wearing my compression garment 22-23 hours out of the day. Slightly swollen in the evenings but nothing major to be concerned or worried about. Scar looks amazing and I have no doubt that in 6 months to a year that my finale results will be nothing less than amazing.

I would 1000% recommend anyone make the trip to southern surgical arts in Chattanooga,Tn for all of your cosmetic needs. You will not find better doctors or staff!
