8 lbs removed from lower abdomen - still healing but very grateful
ORIGINAL POST
Life Changing Experience!
WORTH IT$12,500
After four consultations, I ultimately decided on Dr. Zwicklbauer. He asked me to lose 40 lbs before surgery to minimize the risk of blood clots and other healing issues associated with a higher bmi. I appreciate his request as I feel it made my results better as well!
I had tummy tuck, muscle repair and lipo to flanks and bra line. I had 8lbs of skin removed from my lower abdomen. Dr. Zwicklbauer also found a mass and sent it off for biopsy. It had been causing me pain for years and was endometriosis! I was told all this time it was scar tissue! I am still healing now but am very grateful for the experience.

7wpo healing well!
After my surgery date of February 3, 2022 I have had lymphatic massages and have been wearing compression. I have not resumed exercise again yet due to swelling and though I am eager to get back to my normal lifestyle I am in no way planning to ruin my results. I will see Dr. Zwicklbauer on the 15th and I’ll see how he feels about exercise. Until then, I’m healing and eating right! Still very please with this journey!

Hi, can I ask did you also have work done on your upper thighs? They look very smooth now too. You look great!

Thank you! No I did not have any work done on thighs. I asked but my surgeon informed me the healing would be too painful. I will say if you have a good surgeon, they do consider contouring results both above and below the incision so everything below the incision is lifted and looks great! I do not think I will need a thigh lift if I continue to work out.
