3 years later...Mini Tuck

$5,000
I never got rid of the lumps and scar tissue from my BBL. I had multiple consults and Dr Fisher over lipo'd me so much, I almost wasn't able to have a tummy tuck at all. However, I did lose 12 lbs between consult and surgery, so I had a lil more skin to work with. I am currently 17 days post op. And in that fun swell hell. I do have a few pics of tummy the 1st week and from Friday the 31st.

Its too early to tell exactly how the fat transfer to my booty will look at final results, and I do like the shape he gave me with the lipo. However the care after surgery was neglectful to say the least. Because of their mistake in putting me in a garment that was too small, I am now suffering the consequences. I had 4 post op visits in 1 weeks time and let them know that the garment was too tight and causing problems at the 1st 2 appointments, I was forced to go to the ER because my legs were turning purple and they felt it was a blood clot. I learned at ER that I was right, the garment was cutting off my circulation and causing the leg discoloration. The ER doctors cut the leg part of the garment to allow blood flow until I could get another garment that was larger. When I went in for my 3rd post op and actually seen Dr. Fisher he acknowledged that it was basically a guessing game for after surgery garment size and joked that at least I had my stage 2 garment. This is incorrect, all they had to do was measure me and follow the guidelines for size. I was brushed off by the assistants and Dr Fisher, and now I have a 10 in by 7in area of TISSUE DEATH due to extreme compression and 2 very large seroma's. Ladies, get your own garments before surgery in the correct size you already are and then buy smaller garments as needed. Or at least get the garment insert that has 3 rows of hooks to give you extra room if needed on the smaller garment you expect to fit into.

Loving my closet again!

For years now my closet was a huge sore point with me. Having gone from 115 lbs to 155 lbs in just a couple years made me hate my closet. I had pants ranging from size 3 to 13 and when the 13s got too tight, I decided on the BBL. I used to just be pissed when trying to find something to go out in public in that didnt make me look or feel pregnant. I had all these great clothes, and couldnt wear them. Altho I didnt get as much booty as I wanted out of this journey, when I go to my closet now I can literally grab any shirt and look good. Im only wearing my size 10 pants now, but every shirt I have looks amazing on me and I couldnt be happier!!!

Confidence is everything:). So glad you found it!
Thanks hun, hope all is going well for you too. I cant wait for the numbness and pain to finally be gone too, thats when I will feel the happiest. I dont take anything not even OTC meds for the discomfort now, and Im hoping the normal feeling returns soon.
Girl yes! My boyfriend grabbed me this morning and pulled me toward him and his hands were on my back and the back of my ribs...I screamed b/c it hurt so bad. I'm like when is this pain going to stop...every morning when I get up it hurts until I stretch it out. Ugh. I got a custom made bathing suit and when u see it u will want one:). It was very inexpensive as well. I will post a pic later. I got it off etsy
its nothing like being happy with yourself. thats the whole reason im doing this. i got about 50 pairs of jeans in my closet and none fit. i cant wait for the day when i dont have to worry about a bulge showing through my shirt, or have to wear a shirt long enough for people not to see the top button of my pants unbuttoned after i eat lol. i know its been a hard journey for you, but m glad your finding peace!
I am ty :) I still wish I had gotten better results, but I love that I can just grab anything out of the closet again and feel happy in it. I hope you get all that you want from your surgery! I still think about a round 2, but would need enough fat to fill in the lumpy areas on my tummy too. And Im not even 3 months PO yet so thats a long way off anyway.
thats how I feel …I love shopping now lol….and you look great btw
thanks love! Im trying to enjoy what I got. There are 2 spots above the hips he gave me and my natural hip bone that dent in and some lumps in my tummy, but overall I am much happier than before lol. Your lookin good too btw :)
thanks love …I see lumps on my stomach but not all the time …just keep massaging with oil and wear the ab board…what are you using for scaring ?
I really enjoyed reading your journey. I am 11days post sx and miserable with my sleeping/sitting arrangements..... But I'm hanging in there because if you can be positive after all that you went through, so can I!! Thanks for sharing your experience and Happy Healing!!
Awe that is so sweet of you! You hang in there, it does get better. Even when the "real pain" stops there is still this pain that lingers that you cant describe to others. Since your still numb, the hot lava feeling and the trying to stretch out the cramped sides and tummy after sitting too long. Im almost 3 months and it still drives me crazy. Getting back rubs just isnt the same anymore lol. Happy healing to you hun!
Lol... i have a burning sensation in my lower back when i move or stretch. It's the only real pain that i have now. I got scared when i saw your wound and hoping that this is normal from lipo
Are you still happy?

You look great! So glad that the necrosis is almost gone:)
thanks hun :) hope all is going good for you as well
I'm on that Rollercoaster right now but there are more days that in happy. I'm four weeks now...I just want to sit lol
Ya I have been sitting more and more and stopped using pillows. I was getting sick of it all. Sometimes the top of my butt hurts from sitting. But it doesnt hurt to sit anymore. I get super tight in the tummy tho and I have to lay on my tummy to stretch it out after sitting.
Hottie :)
