The Dr pulling your skin won't cause stretch marks but you can get a tension scar along the incision like I did. I was never told it I read here recently that massaging the scar helps with that. As for the lipo of your flanks I don't see any fat on your back at all. You look fabulous from behind. Best of luck with your surgery.

Thank you. I knie it took s few months and over a year later I still feel tingling in my stomach if I run or do jumping jacks. Theres a big patch of my stomach that still feels "asleep". I did read that it may always be this way. Still worth it though.

I had stretch marks above my belly button. After TT he pulled as much as he could but I still have them. The stretch marks that were all above my bb are now below it. I'm ok with this because I now have a flat tummy, cute bb, low scar to easily cover in swim suit. And if anyone sees the few stretch marks under my bb well then they know I'm a mommy :) we all have them, so even if you're left with some remember you got them from Gods gifts to you, your babies :)

Hi Danonina :) I had my tummy tuck with Dr Gill 3 weeks ago. You're gonna love him. Are you using the surgery center off 1960 or there in the woodlands? I used The one off 1960 and stayed one night. They put a catheter in you so you don't have to get up to pee the first night. They want you to rest and be as comfortable as possible. Check out my review for all the details of the surgery and recovery.

You won't be in pain. This was my biggest worry. Dr. Gill is wonderful! Read my review. Skip down to day of treatment and one day post. He uses Neuropin, which is basically the same as Exparel but you don't have to pay extra. He includes it free with his tummy tucks. My belly was numb. No feelings, no pain. The only think that hurts is if you cough. You'll have a morphine pump. If you feel any pain at all you push the button and it goes straight to your IV. I'll be sending prayers for an easy surgery & recovery. You are in good hands! He does an amazing belly button and his scars are low and clean.

yay for no pain!! He's great at what he does and making sure you wake up with no pain. By the way, if you're trying to use Emojis they don't work. They get replaced with "????" A lot of question marks.
