Fixed Things I Didn't Notice... and Looking GREAT!

I had lipo 360 and a tummy tuck with Dr. Petrungaro on May 26th and I am already pleased with the results. I was on the fence about getting the procedure because friends and family said that I didn't need it. But I knew what I wanted to look like and after 2 pregnancies in my 30's I wasn't getting the results from diet and exercise.

So I searched and found Dr. Petrungaro and that was the only consultation I went to - I knew this was my guy. He spent as much time as I needed to answer all of my questions. There was no rush and no pressure. I didn't realize that my pubic area was hanging low or that my flanks would look better after lipo. He looked at me and knew exactly what needed to be done to make me look my very best. He is very confident in his abilities and his work backs it up.

He put me at ease that the scar would be placed in an inconspicuous place which it is. The scar so far is healing beautifully. I had one drain out at 1 week and the second at 2 weeks. I can pretty much stand up fully straight. I only took the prescription pain meds for 2 days and then I was able to manage with just Tylenol. The pain was much more tolerable than I thought. There is just a lot of soreness and numbness mainly from the lipo. The first week I was scared to stand up straight because I felt like I was gonna split something but all was well.

I am still swollen and have a few lumps and bumps but I massage in the shower or with coconut oil every day to try and break them up. But even with the swelling the results are just what I wanted!

It is truly amazing to watch my body heal itself. Swelling is getting much better now.. my ankles are back to normal and the contour is really taking shape. The front is still a little swollen around the belly button and above the scar line. I still have some slight soreness mainly on my lower back and flanks but otherwise feeling almost normal.

I was so nervous about the scar! For the first few weeks there was tape over the scar. I finally got to see it and it looks so good! There really isn't any discoloration and it's a very thin line. It will only get better from here. I was considering a tattoo over the scar later but I really don't think I'll need it.
