38, No Kids & Back Pain.

Oh hey! To make a long story short, I went in for a consultation with Dr. Bauer originally for a breast reduction & a little Lipo in my lower belly. . I’m a hairdresser & own a salon and I have a tremendous amount of mid/lower back pain, and I am just unwilling to take opiates to control the pain. I stand in the same spot for 12 hours and no matter the exercise or weight loss, I feel like I can’t even support myself all day long.
Dr. Bauer assured me that my breasts were not the cause of the back pain. He also told me that liposuction alone would most likely make my “hanging” skin worse. I think I might have been in shock because I never really considered the skin to be hanging lol.
15 years ago, I had an ovary & Fallopian tube removal on one side. It was not cancerous, but they did decide to do an 8 inch incision, rather than laparoscopic. Like any 23 year old, I didn’t take care of myself at all. I just sprung back to everyday life as fast as I could. 15 years of not too crazy weight loss…up 30, down 30…and repeat, left me with quite a bit of sagging tummy skin. So, here I am!
I did quite a bit of research (all online reviews) about tummy tucks easing pain in the lower/mid back, and decided I wanted to give it a shot. If nothing less, at least I would have a flat tummy!
My surgery day was yesterday October 19th, and I am honestly feeling SO much better than I thought I would be. I am not in any pain (which I attribute to the exparel injections). I am very uncomfortable, but again no significant pain. I’ve been able to get up on my own…walk to the use the restroom, get something to drink all the basic things!
I did rent an electric lift recliner, and I can not begin to tell you how much you need one of these if you are having a tummy tuck. Life changing as compared to my first abdominal surgery.
Stay tuned for more updates along the way!

Today was shower day & the first day I was able to see my incision. All I can say is OMG, what a difference. My muscles feel incredibly strong after the repair. I’m in slight discomfort, but no pain. I’m still VERY swollen, but so for very happy with the results! Dr. Bauer did an amazing job!
