5'2 & 62 but feel 32! Tummy Tuck, AMR, lipo & 36lb weight loss

This is 1 year out. Sorry about the elastic marks, but you can see my scar clearly. I have gained back about 4 lbs. I had touch up lipo about 7 weeks ago. I feel good and have dropped from a six 16 to a size 8/10. I still have some numb areas, but that may be from my touch up liposuction.

I also wanted to mention I did not find this surgery painful, however the worst part for me was the compression garment post op. Since I have a fairly short torso, the bunching up of the garment presented the most issues for me. I am still wearing compression at 3 no post op because I feel more supported in it. My stomach is still fairly numb, and the compression panty I am wearing helps the weird feeling following nerve end healing. Forgot this photo, the important front view. I am considering some additional lipo in the next year or so. I would recommend anyone go to Dr. Lu, I felt he really treats holistically.

I am currently 3 months post op from my Tummy Tuck, AMR and lipo. I can’t even find enough superlatives to describe how I feel about my post op results. Super awesome fantastic happy relieved energetic…that about wraps it up. I am 62 year old mom of 3 grown children, all born a year apart. My body never recovered from Baby 1 or 2 when I had 3. So I for sure lay all the blame on them for what happened as a result of 3 pregs. Just kidding. Life got busy and I did not take care of my health so when I hit menapause, my body was not kind. I was busy taking care of 3 kids, 2 elderly parents and I came last. When I lost both parents last year, I found myself faced with taking care of my mental and physical health. So at 5’2” 195 lbs, I enlisted the help of my fantastic surgeon who did my daughters breast reduction, for my own surgery. Following surgery which included a 36 lb. weight loss, I am an entirely new person. I am enjoying walking, getting out of the house and I look forward to getting dressed every day. I needed an entirely new wardrobe and that was an unexpected delight! Dr. Lu and his PA, Katie are the very very best! Always kind and took my calls at any time. I think my photos speak for themself. I honestly feel like I am 32, not 62!
