WORTH IT$12,500
I am a 31 year old mother of 2.
I decided to look into getting a tummy tuck due to the extra skin and fat pockets I carry around my lower abdomen.
After 7 consultations I have booked my surgery for March 5th with Dr. Jaz. Ill be undergoing a full tuck along with some added lipo.
Im nervous and excited and wanted to come here to detail my story.

I had my pre op appt yesterday with Dr. Jaz and his wonderful assistant Nassim. Paid for the procedure (in total mine was 12,000 including full tt and lipo of hips, flanks and sacrum)
I have done a lot of research so didnt have to many questions, plus I feel like he explained exactly what to expect so well the first time that theres really not much that I dont feel prepared for..
Dr.Jaz does ask you to stay in a binder post oppretavely, but they put it on you before you leave the surgery center.
Ive been ordering comfortable clothing, I found a zip up robe with pockets and lots of sweatpants with no waist bands, ive also invested in compression socks and arnica tablets.
Ill be getting labs done today and sending my prescriptions to get filled. T-minus 2 weeks..

Good luck! I’m 3 days post op and I haven’t been able to see anything inside my bandages yet. I spent so many week in a state of anxiety that I can’t believe it’s finally over and done with. I have to keep reminding myself that it happened, I just have to be patient now to see the goods lol!

Thank you! Im sure your results will be beautiful!
Is it feeling how you thought it would? Any tips lol

I think yes, it is about like i expected. Even though I knew everyone said “you can’t stand up straight” it was still a really weird feeling to accept.

My incision isn’t hurting unless I cough or laugh and neither are my drains. My main tips: Having my lift chair and neck pillow has been a big comfort. I’d recommend taking your pain meds as directed the first 3 days at least and if you stArt to have a really rough patch begin taking them an hour closer together. There’s no point being a hero and you’ll be able to get up and walk easier if you’ve got your pain under control. And the walking is so important for blood clot prevention and getting you closer and closer to standing erect.
