WORTH IT
All is well. 100% back to all daily life including the gym. No aches or pain. My lower abdomen is still numb and has slight swelling after exercise. Im satisfied with scaring. Lipo areas still itch sometimes but no other discomfort.
I started this process with a 32inch waist and now Im 27inch. I feel much sturdier during workouts and my confidence in my body is through the roof :-)

You are really looking great. I am have the exact same procedures that you had by Dr Greenwald in Nov.
I had 3 c-sections and gear it's similar pain. Are you happy with the lipo? Was it painful? Do you have any scars from it?
I've never had a c-section so I can't say how the pain compares. I will say the tummy tuck is uncomfortable (with pain medication) but it's mostly numb. Lipo on the other hand was more painful for me, I'm 8 weeks out and my back is still sore. The early days can be rough BUT there is definitely a light at the end. Good luck! You are in great hands.
Oh yes I have two small scars from lipo on my back. They healed the fastest and are fading already.
Thank you so much for responding. Hope everyday you feel better and better
I’m 10 days post tummy tuck with lipo, ab and hernia repair. The lipo is a lot rougher than the actually tummy tuck. My stomach is also mostly numb so it’s hard to feel actual pain. The lipo is very painful, my outer thighs didn’t hurt as much but my back lipo has been rough. My back is still quite swollen and lower back hurts. Definitely worth it but I can’t wait till that pain and swelling subsided.
What creams are you using for scar repair?
Not using anything special. Twice a day I use a heavy moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.
How much did you pay? Looks good

Over the threshold.
Six weeks is the magic number (for me). I’m standing straight, sleeping on my side but I’m still using the shower stool because I like it lol.
Swelling is still present but minimal. Finding a comfy position to sleep is a bit of a task, using lots of pillows. Self massage and light stretching at night. Lipo areas (back & flanks) continue to get achy and stiff. Hard spots are fading.
Belly button and incision scar are doing amazing. Even my best case didn’t look this good. Im still using silicone tape.
Starting to take walks again but I’m going to hold off a bit longer before I start more strenuous exercise.

You look great but What is the silicon tape for?
Thank you! The tape is to help the scar heal better.
Your results are incredible! I’m 5 days post Opp with Dr Greenwald and he’s incredible, an artist!
