Tummy Tuck Before and After Pics w/clothes on!!

heahyou00 · 06-25-2009, 02:06 PM

Just wanted to share some updated photos of myself, I have lost 70 pds now and 3 months ago had a breast lift and tummy tuck done. I still have work to do as far as toning things up like my arms and legs, but I have never felt better.

Recovery from surgery wasnt bad at all, I was only on pain meds 2 days.

Here is me before

Here is me this last week

WomanOfGod · 06-25-2009, 05:24 PM

Kelly you look GREAT! Do you mind me asking what something like that costs?

heahyou00 · 06-25-2009, 06:26 PM

I paid 14K for my surgery. Not cheap, but so worth it, the scars are fading very fast.

You look beautiful!!!

TattooedFreak · 06-25-2009, 07:20 PM

You look great. Was that 14 k for both surgerys? I just want a tummy tuck eventually.

bmbshl · 06-25-2009, 07:43 PM

You look fantastic!!

Cereal Killer · 06-25-2009, 08:02 PM

You do look terrific! Congrats on the weightloss & even more so on the great attitude & positve outlook!

NWLoser · 06-25-2009, 09:38 PM

Kelly, you look great. I would love to have a breast reduction. I am in Oregon too and wondered would you recommend your surgeon?

Tyrone Bill · 06-25-2009, 09:56 PM

Looking good Kelly!!

scandalouslyglam · 06-26-2009, 05:29 AM

Glad you are doing well!!!

Misstcotta · 06-26-2009, 06:46 AM

You look Amazing! Way to stick to your goals and reward yourself with some surgery!

4 years ago, I had a breast lift. When I get to goal it is tummy tuck time!

heahyou00 · 06-26-2009, 07:58 AM

Thanks for all the compliments everyone!! Its been a long road and its still going.

NWLoser- Yes I would highly reccomend my surgeon, I am located in Portland and if you are anywhere near Portland you have probably heard of the center, its called The Waldorf Center, they do a lot of advertising and its actually a spa as well. Look them up online if you are interesed.

Yes it was 14K for both surgeries, I had it all done at once so you get a discount since you are only going under 1 time. For just a tummy tuck I think it would be around 10K probably.

Kelly

gina7657 · 06-26-2009, 08:34 AM

worth every penny . you look awesome

LunaAshling · 06-26-2009, 09:29 AM

Awesome!!!

LowCarbSarahTryin! · 06-26-2009, 09:47 AM

Wow, you look great!!! Glad to hear that it went so well (I know tummy tucks can be just terrible pain-wise)!!

NWLoser · 06-26-2009, 11:32 AM

Thanks Kelly. I will check the Waldorf Center out. Did you spend more than one night there? Thanks so much for the info.

heahyou00 · 06-26-2009, 01:42 PM

You dont actually stay at their center, they give you 1 night at the hospital included in the procedure and then you can pay for additional nights if you want to stay longer, however its like 200 bucks a night or something crazy like that, so I opted to go home after 1 night in the hospital, just make sure you have help at home, I had my mom and come stay with me a few weeks to play nurse, plus I have kids so she helped take care of them too since I couldnt be lifting and stuff for awhile.

KellBell1234 · 06-30-2009, 09:31 AM

You look great! I so wish I could afford a tummy tuck! Congrats on your success!!

homestretch · 06-30-2009, 09:45 AM

You look beautiful! I am so jelly that you got a tummy tuck. I want one so much but I am a chicken!!!

Rena_G · 06-30-2009, 09:50 AM

You look great! I had mine done April 28th and agree that is worth every penny.

SugarPop · 06-30-2009, 09:55 AM

Someone I know is STILL recovering from hers - She was thin to begin with and I think should NOT have had anything done.......So, it makes me know you MUST know that you're going to someone good.

This thread has inspired me though to seriously consider having it done.

Can anyone recommend someone in the NY area? I'm in Suffolk County.

I had a friend who was thin and had a tummy tuck because of loose skin from having children. There are also different types of tummy tucks (mini vs. full). Most people who are thin have a mini just to tighten the skin.

Dovelette · 06-30-2009, 10:19 AM

I have a question...I'm not sure on my belly how much is skin and how much is fat. Do they lop off the fat too lol?

Also, my boobies have deflated. They are now little running socks with a rock in them. Ew. How was the lift? WHere are the scars? And do you need implants with them if you are boobless like me? I mean seriously I used to be a C cup, and now am probably an A and a half.

heahyou00 · 06-30-2009, 12:55 PM

They basically cut off my entire lower roll so to speak, you know the apron type thing that hangs over lol ewww. I was so glad to see it go and then they pull down your skin from up above and reattach it, so the whole lower section is gone, stretch marks, fat, skin and all. I also had lipo around my hips area to get rid of some more fat. I can actually feel my hip bone sticking out now, dont ever remember feeling that lol.

For my boobs, I have always been a DD, but they were saggin big time. So I had a breast lift and implants to be the same size I was, my scars are in the shape of a T on my breasts, and around my nipple but you cant really see them, they have faded out. and then I have a larger scar under my breasts which of course is hidden unless I lay down lol.

The scar across my tummy is very low, just above the pubic bone area and extends out to my hips, but it is also fading nicely. I plan to wear a bikini if I can get my darn inner thighs in shape lol.
