Well I am quite happy with the tummy tuck but I am beyond disgusted/disappointed with my lipo. Especially the back area. Some lipo was done the day of the TT. And then 4 months ago I went back just to have back lipo. And this is my final result! He says that's the best he can do GRRRRRR

Lipo to the back

chocpaws
I originally thought I had back lipo when I got my tummy tuck. I was misinformed by one of his staff ( who is no longer working there now). I had asked about Back lipo and was told he automatically does it with a tuck. He lipos the flanks not the back. After much discussion, the doctor felt bad about the misunderstanding and is doing my back - tomorrow!! I am so excited and really hope he can work some miracles!

So excited for you! Please keep us updated. I too have wanted to have a TT for many years, reading how great your doctor has been makes me wish I lived in Texas, I would go to him in a heartbeat!

8 weeks!

It's been 8 weeks. Although I had my drains for 24 days, and developed a Seroma, I would do it again. But this time I wouldn't try to be Super Woman! That frame of mind is what slowed down my healing.

Last night I ordered a waist training corset from this website called Orchard Corset. They are very informative and have people to help you figure out which style will work best for your body type. I am not doing this to be like those people in the media who take it to extremes.

I have never been a true hourglass but I did have a waist. My tummy is nice and flat but I am not seeing a waist. That is what I am hoping for. Plus I had liposuction and those areas need a little nudging to shape up too. Besides I still feel the need for abdominal support and I am so sick of the binders!! I have bought multiple styles plus a bunch of spanx things. None of those are very comfortable nor did they help shape my new abdomen.

I am posting a pic taken tonight. You can tell I have some end of the day swelling but even in the morning I don't have a waist.

You look great! He may have to do some touch up on your back, that may help the waist (flanks.....whatever) I think it will give your body a chance to take on the new form better too, not all at once. That's my unprofessional opinion anyway... Lol. Take care and keep updating please
