I had a consult for a panni/TT today. I've had over 100 pound weight loss and a baby, so I've got quite an apron. It looks like that would be covered, and then the surgeon got stars in her eyes about how I'm the perfect candidate for a TT and I wouldn't be happy with just the panniculectomy. She pulled out pictures, and she's right. If only I had $9k to burn on the out of pocket portion 😭😭😭
Best decision of my life!
ayeee i’m gonna be doing some updates here and there. i’m feeling much better. that first like 4 days is… whew. but i’m good now. went to my follow up today. finally saw my belly button and nips! things are looking good. i am VERY swollen tho. like in my hips and thighs especially. i hate that i still have my stretch marks but atp it’s whatever. i’ve had them forever and i’m embracing it. my tiger stripes or whateverrrr. i’m sure things will look better when I’m more into recovery! please if anyone has tips on what to do to help with this swelling and fluid lmk! it’s so tight feeling. 🫠
I’m three months post op from a reverse tummy tuck. I feel comfortable wearing typical gym wear and lower cut dresses. I’m at the point now where I forget I even had surgery. No more numbness or tightness. Just wanted to give some hope to those who may be in those dark days afterwards lol :)
Hello! Ive had a tummy tuck with "significant" muscle repair I'm 12dpo, these are before and after pictures! The after pictures are at night, swelling is still very much present!
I was just wondering what do you guys think of it?
I'm having a hard time seeing the light at the tunnel, it just looks like its going to stay this way lol
Had my surg! Checked in at 5:45 for my 6am.
Tummy Tuck (TT)
Muscle Repair (MR)
Lipo 360
Dr said it went fabulous.
Note from doc:
Diastasis was moderate. Needed some extra tightening sutures around the belly button. Nothing too crazy.
Top is results.
Dr Buchanan at Vivify Plastic Surgery here in Tampa, FL. HIGHLY recommend. He handled my breast redux in 2021.
I just had my pre op tummy tuck appointment today and was told that tomorrow I start my liquid diet to clean out my body and have no bloating. I have to have low sodium low sugar. I can’t seem to find protein shakes that are low in sodium and I’m not sure what I will eat(drink) all week that will keep me full with energy to keep me up either my kids not pass out. Please if anyone else had to do something like this before surgery some liquids I should buy would help me so much. I start my diet tomorrow so I need to go buy something quick.
I had my tummy tuck, with full back liposuction and breast auto augmentation. 3 kgs of stomach skin, 2 L lipo on the stomach, 7 L lipo on the back, 200 grams of breast tissue removed and skin.
I had my procedure on Wednesday, took 10 hours, Wednesday night and Thursday was super bad and painful, was regretting every bit of it.
I have been walking every hour since today morning which is Friday, and I feel so great, been walking on my own, sitting cross legged etc.
Swelling has kicked in but I was super active and used to lift super heavy, so I am able to lift my self on only my legs, which is helpful. I lost 30 kgs and I am 22!
