Tummy Tuck

WORTH IT$4,500
I had gotten the Tummy Tuck” with Lipo by Dr.Kagan at “Jolie’s Plastic” on March 2nd and when I say I’ve had an amazing experience it’s been great, after hearing other people experience with the tummy tuck I was nervous about the pain, but to be completely honest I didn't experience any pain besides “tightness and stiffness” from the muscle repair & of course minor back pain... but it’s to the point I didn’t even need the pain meds I was prescribed!! “ unbelievable right?!! But completely true I’ve been on Tylenol since day 2 and now I don’t even need to take them! Now everybody body is different, but I’m healing very well, and fast I was supposed to have my drains in for 2 weeks and end up being able to get one out 4 days later after surgery, I’ve also been able to do everything on my own since day 1 “no lie ” it’s been a whole week already and I’m still doing very well, I'm in love with my results so far and I’m not even completely healed I can’t wait to show this body off.

Holy crap - go girl! You look amazing!! I'm scheduled for Tuesday so reading posts like yours calms my nerves. What do you attribute to your easy recovery?
March 12, 2021
Thank you! But I pretty much woke up to no pain so recovering been pretty much like a walk in the park for me, now I will say once you get surgery make sure ur doing some walking like recommend, I’m 10 days post opp now and I think I’ve been doing to much cause now swollen a lot so if your dr says walk around every 1hr for 15mins that’s good, and Also the “arnica” pills helped me

I've had 4 c sections and I didn't find any of them to be difficult at all to recover from. Everyone seems to compare the two so I'm hoping they truly are similar when it comes to recovery. I'm all about getting up and walking around. I think one of the biggest bummers is that we are going to be limited on how much we can do. I'm an active & energetic person - not a sit around and watch TV kind of person. I think my c section recovery was always so manageable because I was up walking around as soon as I could feel my legs again. I remember walking slowly and pushing a wheelchair for stability. Do you find you need a walker or cane or anything? My husband is deployed but I do have 3 teenage boys at home who will help me. I hope you're continuing to do well! Your recovery is very inspiring and you had a pretty amazing transformation. I'm curious about clothing size. I'm currently a size 8, so I ordered some size 6 shorts and tried them on last night. To my surprise they buttoned, but I definitely have a muffin top in them. I'm hoping they fit after this extra skin is gone and my hip rolls are lipo'd. Have you been able to try on a smaller size yet? Wasn't sure if it's still to tender to do so. I'm just curious how many sizes you go down. I know 6 will probably be my smallest, because I have curvy hips and backside.

I never had an c-section before but if you had 3 this should be a walk in the park for you lol , and I did buy a walker but I ended up not even needing it, like I said I was up walking around with out assistance the same day of surgery and days after surgery, once u get surgery you’ll and actually stand up after
March 16, 2021
You will know if you’ll need the walker , but thank you I’m glad my story expire you , and I actually haven’t tried on anything yet but I know I lost a few more pounds because I went into surgery at 155pds and came out at. 148pds but no I haven’t tried on anything yet to see if i size down

2weeks post op

Inventive235665
So I’m 2 weeks post op now and I’m am really SWOLLEN but I’m pretty sure It’s because I’ve been doing way too much ! I’ve been grocery shopping , driving and all that, yes I’m still wearing my “Binder” , my doctor requires me to wear the binder for 6weeks so 3 more weeks to got before I can waist train, I have been trying to keep myself on bed rest it’s just so hard cause I’m an active person and the fact that I haven’t been in any pain I be letting it slip my mind that I just had surgery 2 weeks ago , but here’s my update Also I took my own Drain out this week and removed the surgical tape My doctor suggested for both to come off once I hit 2weeks it wasn’t bad at all I definitely was nervous but it’s didn’t hurt at all
