I am 7 years post tummy tuck and still thrilled with it!!! I always carried my weight in my belly and had a flat butt. I hit menopause right after my tuck and the weight I put on(15pounds) it all went to my butt, so now I have a flat belly and a good sized butt!!!! True story.

Everything went well. I came home with a wound vac on my fleur-de-lis and Panniculectomy incision and a JP drain on both hips. No serious complications. I did have a hematoma develop after my right hip drain was removed. It eventually resolved. I’m still dealing with some swelling after 7 months. My surgeon said it can take some patients up to a year. Given my age (62) and that I have had a duodenal switch weight loss surgery- my healing is slower. Thanks for asking and good luck to everyone having this surgery. It wasn’t easy but wasn’t as bad as I feared. 👍Jalyne in Utah

Also, my recovery house, Enchantress compressed TT patients including myself making the binder tight. They also encouraged me to get into my faja 2 days post-op! Of course, I did not bc I couldn’t fit it anyway. My surgery sister is dealing with necrosis/ wound infection as a result of having her binder so tight post op. I think all recovery houses should watch your videos to reduce poor outcomes after you’ve created a masterpiece of a body! Thank you for your videos!

I hope to be having a TT surgery at sometime in 2023, and your videos have helped prepare me for my future journey. I have a question I've never seen addressed. I have tried to research this, but can't find the answer. Even in the picture shown, it shows a vertical line dividing the apron of fat. I have noticed only some people have this. I never did, but suddenly started to develop one. About 2.5 years ago, I have lost over 100 lbs. Is it related to the laxity of the skin. Could you explain the medical terminology for this condition and why it develops.

I am starting to get some tummy pain as the nerves get busy, but primarily it's been pain in the back. I expected to be star recoverer but instead I've had incredible pain and will now be on blood thinners for life. I have follow-ups on the calendar with all the appropriate docs but at this point I don't even know what is and isn't safe to do. I wish I had known to insist on lovenox.

I disagree completely. I have a decent pain tolerance having 2 children 100% completely natural and 1 child c-section and the recovery for my tummy tuck with muscle repair was farrr worse than my c-section! Made my c-section feel like a walk in the park in comparison. I think if u only had a tummy tuck without muscle repair then maybe that can be true but that muscle repair is a way bigger beast and most people need muscle repair with their tt. I also didn't have a ton of loose skin above my belly button and william told me he might not even be able to do a tt on me and would find out on the table...he was able to but I was pulled so tight I couldn't stand completely straight for almost 2 months!

Thank you. Your videos are the best! I think I followed all of this except I was told to ALWAYS wear a compression garment. I don’t always wear it and when I asked why it keeps swelling so bad after 4 months, I was told that I should be compressing 23 hours a day. I’m confused. The swelling goes down after a day of compressing. I had the same thought as you. A tummy tuck gives you an instant result. Then when the swelling stops you see the final result. My case is different. My stomach is big and hard above the belly button if I don’t compress. 😢

You can have kids after a tummy tuck without a problem. My point is if you are planning on having children in a couple of years then wait until have you tummy tuck until you have had your children.

Thanks for the share. I must admit I am and exception I did#1-10 recommended by my board certified surgeon and my results are perfect no issues, sores, infection, bulges or concerns. I had other procedures done so sleeping on my stomach was the only option, also its good to make pineapple tea out of fresh pineapple you eliminate most sugar but I am completely healthy so I had no other concerns.

A lot of these guidelines are confusing to me tbh, I had a very different experience for my TT. My plastic surgeon performed a drainless tummy tuck, it’s a technique that was developed by a father/son plastic surgery team in Dallas; they fix the diastasis muscle with hundreds of tiny stitches, like quilting. No drains whatsoever, and I had no seromas! I didn’t get Lovenox shots either (those blood thinner shots). I woke up dressed in a full body compression suit, as I also had lipo to scoop out my lower back and get rid of braline fat. The brand is called Design Veronique, they create specific post-surgical compression garments and the quality is gorgeous. They also sell to the public, I had a great experience with them. Made in USA. 3 years later and I’m still thrilled with my results😅. A perfect lil oval belly button and a thin colorless hairline scar. I recently had a hysterectomy, my obgyn said that my plastic surgeon had me so perfectly snatched he had a difficult time getting the gas in underneath for the procedure 😂😂 I wish I’d known I was going to need one down the road as I would have done it first, but oh well can’t tell the future!

This video is very informative. When are we out of the clear from possibly getting a blood clot? My doctor didn’t prescribe me lovonox and he also doesn’t recommend NSAIDs because of possible bleeding? I do walk every two hours to the bathroom and to do a few laps around the kitchen. Im in extreme pain but I don’t want to risk getting a blood clot. Thanks so much. Hope to hear from you soon.

The increased risk for a blood clot from surgery persists for at least a month after surgery. Walk, walk, walk. Not long but frequent. It's hard with the pain for sure but it is so important. Keep up the good work!
