1 week post op - extended tummy tuck, muscle repair and mini lipo

I had an extended tummy tuck, muscle repair and mini lipo with Dr. Farris. I was nervous about my belly button shape outcome but it looks amazing and the first week recovery wasn't too bad besides the constipation side effect to be the worst and most uncomfortable thing during the first week post op.

Dr. Farris and his entire team are amazing! Its hard to find great customer service nowadays. Janie, Kelly, and the other ladies were very professional at all times and are always helpful from answering all of my questions and concerns, and checking up on me. From the Consultation with Dr. Farris to my surgery day, Dr. Farris has always been very straightforward and direct with me and shows that he cares about his patients.

It is important to me to have a connection with my Doctor because of the horror stories I've heard of patients not meeting thier surgeon until the actual day of surgery and never to see them again.

I have seen Dr. Farris at each of my doctor visits and he called me after surgery to make sure everything was healing and there were no arising issues nor concerns. I never have to wait long at any of my appointments no more than 10 mins which is very important to me and the staff Always show Great customer service. You can tell they are a close team and has been working together for a long period of time, communication is always on point, and not over booking appointments which is is also important to me.

The only thing I wish I knew was that I needed to loose a little more weight to get the full muscle repair. I was weighed in the day of surgery and was informed I would only be able to get muscle repair on the lower part of my stomach to prevent a risk of cutting off my blood supply from my upper part of my body if he does a full muscle repair.

Everyone's body is different and I've maintained my same weight for the past year. I am glad that he didn't just move forward if it was a high risk as maybe another surgeon would have since I was informed nothing was wrong with my weight.

Overall, Dr. Farris did an amazing job so far that I can tell looking at my stomach. I cannot wait to to see my final results 6 months to a year from now, and I am happy with choosing him as my Surgeon.
