Waited over 20 Years!

WORTH IT
Waited and wanted a tummy tuck after my last child was born over 20 years ago.
Recently dropped 80 lbs and kept it off with changing my lifestyle. Was feeling better but the tummy thing was doing my head in.
Took the plunge! Had full TT with extensive muscle repair and lipo. Lipo only on the front as the PS felt that it was too much of a risk to do further procedures. So glad he was ethical and talked me out of it!
Had the procedure March 3rd. Recovery has been rough. Reacted badly to pain meds so now off perscription narcotics and making due with my CBD gummies and THC gummy at night for sleep.
The binders are a struggle. Very uncomfortable and makes me feel claustrophobic. Struggling through with wearing it though as I don’t want to jeopardize my recovery and results.
I want so badly to do stuff but get completely wore out quickly. Listening to my body but man!!! I never imagined the recovery would be this exhausting. I have zero regrets with the procedure and know that I won’t see complete results for awhile.
My surgeon and his staff were absolutely amazing! Very very impressed with the whole thing. Will add pictures soon.

He is so incredibly ethical and understanding

Dr. David Williamson not only is an amazing plastic surgeon, he is so incredibly ethical and understanding. He always kept me well informed and truly cares about his patients. His staff are second to none and the nurses at the surgical centre are so compassionate and helpful. I have a tummy tuck with extensive muscle repair and am currently about 7 weeks post op. No issues with infections, excess bleeding etc. I had a drainless (had what is called a pico dressing) procedure and am doing really well with recovery. If you are looking for an honest compassionate ethical plastic surgeon then Dr. David Williamson is your guy!

Before and After
20yrtummytuckJuly 10, 2021
4 months post op.
Feeling better but still have swelling and discomfort when I do too much.
Learning to listen to my body and trust the healing process. Everyone is different. I was hoping I would be further along in healing. I am able to golf and swim and go boating but usually swell up and am sore for a day or so afterward. Then it seems that I have another gain on healing progress so the activity although sometimes a bit painful is aiding in the healing process.
