I can’t not say enough about Dr. Prada and his staff. Very compassionate, caring people. Not at one time did I ever feel uncomfortable with them. I knew after my first visit who would be preforming my tummy tuck. I am only 4 days post op and I feel really good. I will
Be honest and say my lower back is really sore, that’s just because of being hunched over after surgery. Other than that the pain level is minimum. I’m so excited that I’m gonna share a before and after picture with you. I had my surgery on March 29, 2019

Thank you so much!!!! Feeling better everyday !!!! I get belly button stitches out today n hopefully get my 4 drains removed! I know the drains help removing fluid n speed up the healing process, but they are a pain. Lol

One week ago today I had a tummy tuck n body lift. Today was the best day yet, I felt really good. I just hope I didn’t over do it. My drains are producing very little , I’m hoping to get them removed this Monday when Tracy removes my stitches from my belly button. I’m still swollen but man do I look good!!! I told Dr. Prada he had his work cut out for him...he just laughed!! I still can’t believe how much I improved on a daily basis. I did follow my orders to the”T” though. I’m gonna post a pic I took yesterday....

That's really, really good to hear!! I feel the same way, i never imagined that I'd look like the way that I'm molding into. My fear of surgery kept me from having it, but I'm so happy that I decided to move forward. My recovery is going well, i was off meds on post op day 4, & moving around really good by day 5. I'm still swollen, but i will definitely start posting more pics!

Thank you!!!! I wish I would have done this years ago!!! How is your healing doing?

Looking good. I had the same procedure on 4/2/19. I can’t see my results yet because of all the bandages and binder.

Yay!!!!!! Wishing you good luck. He took off the bandages and binder before I left the hospital to show me my new stomach. As soon as my pain pump was empty(3 days) we removed it . That was the first day I took a shower, I have 4 drains do you have any? I know they heal up the healing process by removing fluids. I seriously CANT wait for them to come out. I get my belly button stitches out today and my drains are producing less the 25 ml daily now. Once the drains are under 25 they get removed. I’m praying for them to be removed. I sure hope you get to see you belly soon!!!! How exciting for you!!!! Please keep me posted!!! I hope you have excellent results!! I can’t wait to see your pics!!!!

Today is 9 days post op....I still can’t believe that this is my stomach... before and after pic here. I can’t tell you how happy I am...I was scared to death of having one. Honestly the first day was the worst, everyday after I drastically improved!! No longer walked hunched over, standing more erect. I will be honest and say the pain in the lower back was kinda bad, at least for me. Everyday it got better n better though!! I must say this surgery wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I took it really easy the first 3 days. Walked around the house n went to the bathroom by myself first few days. After that everything was more of a discomfort then anything else. I even did the dishes and did some laundry on the 4th day. I have Dr. Prada to thank for this awesome stomach I have!! I had two friends who had done work done by him. I got to see work up close n personal..lol.. he was gonna be my Plastic Surgeon before I even met him! Lol

Hi!! I was like a deflated tire, I didn’t have any lipo done. I had ten pounds of skin cut off. I no longer have that “roll” at my longer back n my butt was lifted. Thank you!!!
