Full tummy tuck + liposuction
tummy tuck + liposuction
41 YO, mom of 2, 2 c-sections. I had a Tummy Tuck with liposuction on flanks and full back with Dr. Miotto in June/2019. Dr Miotto, her team and her clinic are wonderful! I honestly do not believe you can get a better doctor/experience in Atlanta, GA. Dr Miotto is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and kind. My preop, surgery and postop were absolutely amazing! From my first visit to my last one, Dr. Miotto was always on time! She responded to all my emails, questions and phone calls very quickly. Her assistant Jacqui is also amazing and very responsive. My anesthesiologist and nurses were also very professional. I can't say enough about my experience and my results. The consultations are also free which is great and hard to find in Atlanta. I totally recommend Dr. Miotto and her team for any plastic surgery!

Tummy Tuck + Lipo AWESOME Recovery tips
Before:
- Do not pick your doctor based on price alone. Do your homework!
- Lose all (or almost all) the weight you need before your surgery
- Exercise regularly and eat healthy
- Get you body AND mind ready
- Take at least two weeks off. Have someone taking care of you (and your kids) during that time
- Do all your grocery shopping and get your medication from the pharmacy before the surgery day
- Get your house cleaned and organized
- Get a couple of lose dresses that you can open in the front (along with some comfortable underwear)
- Invest in a good/medical grade “spanx”
- Get some cough drops (and water) next to your bed at all times. Believe me, you don’t want to cough! If you do cough (sneeze), hold your stomach with a pillow. Try not to laugh (or cry) right after the surgery either lol
- Don’t worry, be happy! You are about to do something AMAZING for yourself!
After:
- Follow ALL of your doctor’s recommendations and don’t skip follow up visits
-Take all medications around the clock, even if you’re not feeling pain. That’s how you will keep the pain under control
- Eat healthy and drink plenty of water
- Get up as much as you can, as fast as you can after surgery. Walk around your house often, even if it hurts!
- Add lymphatic drainage massages to your budget. They are wonderful (expensive!) but TOTALLY worth it!
- I rented an electric recliner for a month at R.A.C - the BEST thing ever! It was only about $100 and it was a lifesaver. They deliver it and pick it up for free. I spend most of my time on that chair during my recovery.
- I also got a folding walker. Great helper to get out of the bed, couch...and in the first showers!
- Start exercising as soon as your doctor gives you permission
- Stay POSITIVE and have patience. The pain will pass and you will stand up again! I promise :)
- Enjoy your new amazing body! You deserve it!
