My Tummy tuck photos...Come see!

[BBare]

Congrats,

How wonderful you must feel. I want one too. I also want an Inner Thigh Lift as well. I am saving up for both. It is going to cost me around 18.000.00
If I am going to do it. I want to do what Demi Moore did and get the whole thing lifted. Why not right.

You look so good. Please keep us posted on your recovery. Thanks for sharing such a private thing.

One day one of my customers came in and we have talked about excersize and diet. this one day she says to me what do you think? Me I had no clue to what she was talking about. I never look at anyones chest unless its going to hit me in the face humongo boobies.. .. She was flat chested I never noticed.. Well on this day she was 3 weeks post op.. She had her boobs done.. They looked awsome.. Well she came in yesturday she is tiny to begin with.. Had on speggi strap shirt no bra.. They looked great.. So I said their were no other customers in the store.. Your boobs look great. She laughed and said thanks with a big smile on her face.. I have never in my life commented on anyone boobs to their face before..

This may be a weird question but would you mind posting a pic in bikini bottoms? If you can't that's okay, I'm just curious as to how well the scar would be covered. If I get a tummy tuck at goal it will be mostly so i can wear a bikini to the beach.

I took these last night juuust for you!

Here is where I would wear the bikini to cover the scar. It is a little higher than my pants usually sit


Here is where I usually wear my pants

[xfatchik]

Wow! Your tummy looks great!

[sandooch140]

Dang, girl! You are going to kill them boys at the beach with that rockin' body!!! (How old am I? )

[HAB]

Thank you so much for posting those!!!!!

Now I definately would get one cause I like how low you can actually wear your bottoms low and not see the scar.

I have always fantasized about being able to show my belly button.
Hopefully some day!

[vickyraebrown]

You guys all make my day x100.

I'm still so self concious about the remaining stretch marks. *sigh*

[DeliGirl]

With a bod like that?? No-one's gonna care about stretch marks
It looks better in every pic I see you post. Usually I don't post much, but damn!!! I want one when my body's ready too

[BBare]

Wow Vicky,

It looks like you are shrinking with everyday. You lucky girl you. Did they do lypo also around the mid section? Man, when I go in, I want everything lifted and tucked

VRB - So how does it feel to be living your dream . . . . I have found your posts when you were first looking into this . . . .you wanted it SO SO bad!

"I've decided.....I'm going to do it....Months and months of crying, depression, thinking, saving.....and it was my beloved bf who finally convinced me to do it. He said I deserve to be happy, and if cutting off my skin will do the trick, then I should do it. "

You look amazing - wow, and its been like less than three week! Its only going to get better as the healing process continues! So, what does the tape measure say around your waist/tummy now?

No, I had no fat removed whatsoever. 1.2lbs of skin is all.

It is addicting! I would really like a boob lift...but I doubt it would happen.
The other day I was bugging my boyfriend while we were driving. I was looking in the console mirror, and I started pulling up my skin on my face into my hairline like a facelift and I was like "What do you think?" haha.

I know! It's something I've wanted for years now!!!
I'm not sure what my measurements are. I'll measure in the morning and let you know.

Vicky your pictures of your surgery are very motivation. Im 35 days out from my masteoplexy and tummy tuck (hip to hip but possibly circumfrential) as well.

The shots of the drains are a little unnerving, but im glad to know what i am in for.

Like you, I have a boat load of stretch marks above the belly button, on my hips and more. I hope as they tighten up, they wont be so visiable.

Im already aware that im need the muscle repair. I can put two figures one on top of the other (wide) IN the hole of my transverse muscle. Having 5 kidlets sure did a number on me.

I hope i am as good about taking piccies as you.


I CANT Wait to see what i'll look like. Im nearly at my goal for both body wt and body composition.

[sandooch140]

Ileen--I hope you do post pics. Your results will be phenomenal with the shape you are already in.

Vicky--It certainly can get addicting. I've had surgery on my eye lids (hooded lids run in our family), a breast reduction (two acutally...long story), and surgery on my jaw to set it back (I had a mean underbite). This tummy tuck will be it for me. I've had to talk myself out of my fear of the anesthesia so many times with this that I almost chickened out, but I've been wanting this for so many years. I'm just waiting to hear from my lawyer any day now about a car accident settlement I'm due, then I'll set the date for my surgery.

[inatic]

Can to elaborate on the recovery of the br red. Im on schedule for that too.

Sheesh, im doing a number on myself.

[sandooch140]

It was a while back, Ileen, but I think it was about 6 weeks before I could lift anything heavy. The scars are extensive but they have faded very well. It was totally worth it, too.

Well thank-you! I'm excited to see you're results. You're going to LOVE it. It's like...a new hot you. I was overweight my whole life...so when I look in the mirror it still surprises me to be able to look into my belly button . hah.

After having children I'm sure your muscle repair will be much more extensive than mine was, which I'm sure will lengthen your full recovery time by a few days.

If you have any questions what so ever I'd be happy to answer.

[BBare]

Addictive for sure. I want my tummy and my under arms along with my inner thighs... My girlfriend was encouraged to not only have her tummy but her thighs lifted as well. Her Dr. said so many women hate their legs after they see how flat their tummys are.

Has anyone else looked into this operation. The inner thigh thing. It's AMAZING. All the skin and cellulite are lifted. You look like an 18 yr. old after.

Wow Sandy, and I thought you were naturally beautiful . Good for you to fix things that bothered you. Good for us all that we live in a day and age where we can go in and have things removed and or fixed

Nope, I'm your six-million dollar LC woman. Seriously, I was not a pretty child with my heavy eyelids and my jaw that jutted out. I am thankful that I had these procedures done. My jaw needed to be done, though; otherwise, I would have grinded my teeth down eventually. Also my breast reduction needed to be done because of major back pain. I just decided to do my eyes when I did my breast reduction because I knew I would have to 10-20 years later and decided to kill two birds with one stone. Both of my parents had to get eyelid surgery. Their peripheral vision was being obstructed by the hooded skin of their eyes (especially dangerous when you are driving).

[BBare]

Whatever it took. You are so beautiful now. Your smiling face lights up these boards in every post you do.

I am happy for anyone who does something to advance their lives. Man, life is too short going around miserable. I see you live in S. Cal. Who is your Surgeon? Did you ever think of going to the Drs on Dr. 90210? SORRY FOR THE THREAD JACK HERE

Have a great day everyone.

[sugarfreedee]

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Looking gorgeous Vicki. Your surgeon did a great job. I'm glad to see you are recovering so well. Congrats!!

[mom2twoboys]

You look awesome! I am saving my pennies! I can't wait for the day I can do that. I have a feeling DH thinks I am joking! Boy is going to be shocked.

Hey, I had a tummy tuck about 2 years ago. Mine, however didn't go as well. I had the tummy tuck, lipo on my chest all the way around to my back. It was a 4 hour surgery and then I went straight home. My Dad flew to Ohio (where I was living at the time) to take care of me. That night, I couldn't get up without blacking out, I mean FAST. He'd pull me up and down I'd go. About 3 weeks later, I wound up in the hospital for a week with major blood clots in my legs and anemia. My incision didn't heal properly, one side looks like it did before. The incision puckered under on one side and the other looked fine. I got so depressed that my "final nail in the coffin" on my weight had backfired that I gained most all of my weight back. Well, I'm back on the low carb highway and just as soon as I get this weight back off, I'm going to have corrective surgery. I was refered to my doctor by a good friend of mine who lost 135lbs with gastric bypass. She had a tummy tuck, breast implants, lipo in her legs, her underarms fixed, AND a hernia fixed all in ONE surgery and she was back at work in 3 weeks. I thought HEY, good doctor right? But, I don't know what happened in that operating room. I had so many problems. Now, I do have varicose veins (runs all over my Mom's side of the family) and the doctor knew that, but he didn't do anything to keep me safe during recovery. My surgery cost over $10,000 and I feel like it was money poured down the drain. The only good thing I can say is even though I've gained a lot of weight back, I'm still smaller in the waist because of the procedure. Also, my chest stayed relativly small, but everywhere else has gotten huge. Anyway, I'm not trying to scare anyone, I will do it again, just be careful and REALLY check out your doctor. I should have never taken just one persons opinion. I really feel his after-care was not what it should have been.
BY THE WAY, YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!!!

[BBare]

OMG! Brad,

I am so sorry that happened to you. How tragic. What did the Dr. say about the botched job? I mean, couldn't he have fixed it for you?

I am so sorry for your pain. Keep pluggin along with your LC plan. Before you know it, you will right as rain.

Take Care Brad!

Well, the first night home, after all the passing out, I called him and he said it was probably just a reaction to the anesthetic, but 3 weeks later with anemia and blood clots, I feel it was more serious than I thought. I was scared to go back for any fix...But hey, while I lose my weight again, I've got plenty of time to research good surgeons!

[schaferk]

I am very interested in the thigh lift. I didn't even know they could do anything like that??? I've had lipo on the pouch beneath the waist & doc thot I might later need a tummy tuck for skin but it wasn't necessary. Everything tightented up nicely & stomach was flat. That was 12 yrs ago & I am 51 now and have the bagging skin on underarm and thighs. I would definitely do both if I thot it would work and scars would not be too bad. Do they cut along the top of the thighs and just pull the skin up??? Thanks for any info!!
