Booked for Mini TT and Breast implants. Dr suggested I go for Mini. beginning to wonder if Ill get results I want. I have read too many stories of women wishing they had listened to their gut and gone with Full and opted for Mini based upon Dr. I have seen him 2X to discuss and he says same thing! ????

Tomorrow! And you still sound pretty unsettled about your decision. I guess I can see why your doctor said a mini, as minis address the skin/muscle from the belly button down and above your BB you like pretty taut, but the Mini TT worth it rating is certainly lower than the full. (85% versus 95%)
If you're not entirely sure I'd say to put the brakes on and figure this out before you go through with it. Good luck and please let us know what you decide to do.

He initially said I would have full, then upon 2nd consult and me asking questions about too high of a scar ( not concerned with length.... Just height. He said he would only do a mini and that he would not perform a full. I made a 3rd appoint as I want to make sure I am happy in the end and again he said mini.

Good luck tomorrow. I was very nauseated after the surgery and my ps told me to take gravol which helped alot.

I would wait until you are sure. I got and needed a full TT. You can look at my pics at the before. I guess your Doctor knows what he is talking about, but my full TT scar is very low, but hip to hip and I am very pleased with it. As far as puking I was so sick and it was VERY painful to puke!!!Just make sure you let him know up front about the sickness, because I know there are meds that can help with that. I had my surgery done in the Dominican and their anti nausea meds didn't do the job! Good luck with your decision.

With the mini, do you get your bb redone? There are so many different opinions on what a mini is - some are just skin removal, some include muscle tightening - the only thing that I have seen that is constant with the mini is a smaller scar and really, a scar is a scar big or little. tough decision

I read that a mini is just skin removal. I actually had wanted one because I did not want that long scar. However, I think that I need my muscles tightened above my navel as well. I want the tight, firm look and I will deal with the scar. A mini might be less money for you. I know that with my doctor, the price would have been cut in half. Good luck with whatever you choose! It's such a difficult decision. I would definitely research both options and compare pictures togive you a good idea of what you need.

The mini and the full was the same cost for his office. It was based mostly on operating room hrs. And he said they would roughly take him almost the Same amt. of time. So no extra cost for me! :) haven't seen my tummy yet as I'm all bandages up, but can't wait!

I am one day post op and haven't had to use my Phenergan. I took all my meds with me. The awesome nurses help with everything. You will be fine just let me know when you uncomfortable or sick. You'll do fine!!!

I'm happy that you went with your gut feeling. How r u feeling?

Super sore, but they ended up doing TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia) so I didn't throw up!!! The anesthesiologist was phenomenal!!! She was my drs wife so she took extra care of me!!!

Hope your feeling better. Never heard of TIVA. Will look it up because I've had vomiting with anesthesia before. Not a great feeling at all.

It stands for total intravenous IV anesthesia. So no gas. That is what usually makes people vomit. So the anastesiologist didn't give me has and pumped me with anti nauseants ahead of putting me out. Worked like a charm!!

Thnks for the info. I will mention it to my ps as soon as I see him. I'm glad everything went well.
