Flat & Tight Tummy

WORTH IT$4,340
It’s been almost 7 months and I’m still as flat and tight as ever. I only swell when I’ve had large amounts of sodium or bread/pasta and the swelling isn’t too bad really. It’s more uncomfortable if anything. Love waking up to this right body..

@ this point do you feel the pain was worth it? I'm starting to have second thoughts for my Dec surgery date. The healing process almost sound like it's not with it.
It is 100% worth it. Knowing what to expect makes it easier I think. That way you can stay on top of your pain management and as long as you have an attentive care giver you will be fine. I've a renowned confidence since my surgery and would do it again.

Pics

Wanted to post pics of me in swimsuits and in different positions. Never thought my body would look like this again. I’m so excited. The amount of confidence that comes from this surgery is amazing and I did not know it would be this way. I am grateful for the chance and opportunity to have Dr. Ortega work his magic on me.

You look fantastic! Did you do lipo? (We are the same size except I’m 5’4.) I’m hoping since I won’t have lipo, I will have a waist. You look so good!
I did have Lipo to the flanks.

Made it to 3 MPO

Well here I am. Three months post op and so very excited at my new body. I’ve never felt this good in my own skin before.

The horrible swell hell ended at about 11 weeks PO for me but I am still wearing my Faja and an foam at night when I sleep. I do not need it during the daytime anymore and rarely swell at all. I’ve managed to maintain weight of 158-159 lbs and currently wearing a size 4 in pants/shorts and a six in dresses. It’s amazing what a surgery can do for your confidence. Swim suits are so much fun now and I have even wore crop tops.
