    I contemplated this procedure for many years and the cost was the delaying factor. I worked out, ate right and still just had awful saggy skin with stretch marks much more primarily in one side. I too delivered a 9.5 lb child so I resonate with this woman on the pain experience and what it did to our body. When I finally had the funds (I am 56 yrs old), I sought a doctor. Met with 3 and felt comfortable with only one. Got more intricate details than I bargained for and for a few days, wondered if I really wanted to go through with it. Hiding the skin, not feeling as confident as I used to and having worked so hard til this point with not the desired outcome, I went for it. True the first two weeks were VERY difficult. Drains were fine - didn’t have much drainage so those were a breeze for me. Crazily, I barely had any swelling. I could see pretty quickly that my abdomen was flat and exactly what I expected. My belly button looked great, incision was just below my panty/bathing suit bottom. My recovery was mostly as expected, but one thing I experienced is that the skin between my belly button to my incision (now already a fading scar 8 months post-op) has barely any feeling. When I can feel sensations, it is like electricity touching my skin but most of the time, there is nothing. I am told this electricity feeling indicates there is still hope that my nerves will recover. While this is a little blip in my results, I have no regrets!! I have also begun competing in amateur body building, feel finally great about my body. Hope this helps anyone looking for information!

      I am 7 weeks post op and had a fleur-de-lys abdominalplasty. I have had the suture line open up twice was restiched and opened up again. There is a hole about 1/4” deep and 1 “ long and 1/2” wide. He wants to suture it after 2 weeks of dressing changes by myself. I’m not sure I should. Will it heal on its own?

    I am 4 days post op from TT & Breast lift. Having had 6 children my stomach was beyond my own physical repair. I had an initial consultation in London in July but left this appointment crying feeling humiliated by the surgeons attitude. I made another appointment with a surgeon closer to my home roots in Manchester and after our first meeting I booked there and then knowing that this was the surgeon for me.
    Now 4 days post op and returning to my daughters to recover I am more than happy with the results so far. I have only glimpsed at my new flat wrinkle free tummy and peeked at my new lifted boobs I cried with pure joy and happiness, THIS has been 20 yrs in the making for me and I am absolutely ecstatic.
    It's no walk in the park regards pain but I've found its abs that hurt more than even the incision site so far and I've been constipated due to painkillers but with plenty of water and a healthy fibre diet things are calming down. So far so good:)
    Will keep this updated if possible and will be giving a true account along with pictures on real self website.
    My surgeon was Mr James Murphy at Spire hospital in Manchester.
    Good luck to anyone who decides to get their body back.

I haven’t felt this good about myself in a long time. The initial 2 weeks of recovery were the hardest, I work from home so I actually was able to return to work after those 2 weeks.

One year after the procedure and just 2 days ago I noticed it wasn't as "puffy or swollen" as it usually is when I wake up. I still do the massages on the lower stomach/scar-line and I use cream to hopefully lighten it up. The scar isn't noticeable because of how low it is.

I love my shape from the front pics because I have wider hips now and a smaller waist. But from the side view there is still a lot of swelling. I got 7 daily linfatic massages 24hrs right after the surgery and tgose are no joke. They are really painful but when you are done, you feel much better, lighter and mor energetic. Now im getting 3 more massages once a week. Its tough but we just gotta be patient about the swelling going down.

    This video offers some very important and detailed information. I wish I had come across this video before I had my procedure done. I am 26 days post-op from having had lipo and a tummy tuck. I was initially told I would need lipo and then a simple excess skin removal afterwards. The words tummy tuck were NEVER used in the description of what procedure I would be undergoing nor was it in my paper work documents, turns out that’s exactly what was performed. I know now that in order to achieve the look I want, I needed to have that. But my issue is, that my doctor and the nurses all down played and just out right minimized the invasiveness of my procedure just to get me to change my original surgery date from late May when I would have been off work til almost August with me being a teacher, til me doing it this past February instead. I was told I would only be down a week and then I could back to work and would feel just fine. They told me that it was best to do it now because I would not like having to wear fajas in the summer. That part I believe. But they should have been honest and told me that I would actually be having a tummy tuck first of all, and that I would need 6-8 weeks of recovery time for healing with this procedure. They were so afraid I guess that I would either not have the procedure at all, or that I would go elsewhere to have it done. Either way, all they cared about was getting another body on the table to get that money. I realize that now after the fact. And yes I had my procedure done right here in the states. I have been miserable at work and my doctor is now having to recommend a medical leave for me from work so that I can have more time to heal properly. I don’t regret the procedure necessarily, but I do regret the timing I choose and the fact that I went somewhere where a medical staff was not honest and transparent with me about all I needed to know and understand as a patient about my procedures. It has truly all lead me into almost a state of depression. My advice to anyone thinking about this procedure, please get all the facts and do as much research as possible before you have any elective surgery done. Not every medical professional is as honest as the surgeon in this video.

    Hello, I have has a tummy tuck. I will say that it is not a weight loss surgery. It’s very painful,and you will gain weight back through your recovery. You will not be comfortable without your body corset and will have numbness alongside your incision and some in the middle permanently. Make sure you really really watch it on food because you can gain it all back like I did. I do not recommend this surgery if you don’t really need it!

    19 days ago I underwent plastic surgery. It was a tummy tuck + liposuction of the upper body and liposuction of the inner thighs + thigh lift. The first 10 days post-op were the hardest. After that it gets a bit easier with the day.
    I'm happy that I did the surgery. Next summer will be mine!

    It's been 9 days post op from tt. The first 3 days were so uncomfortable. My back began hurting after about 1 min of walking hunched over. I barely left the electric reclined that i rented. I was also constipated due to the painkillers. I took a laxative which gave me stomach cramps. I can tell you, the pain was excruciating. I began feeling nauseous and vomitted, that's when I thought i had ruptured the repaired muscles. I held a rolled uo towel tightly against my abdomen to support it. Luckily my dr emailed a script to the chemist for an anti nausea medicine. I had family pick it up, and for that i am so grateful. I passed out after it began working. Tbh i couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. After day 4 I still couldn't shower without help, but could walk a little further. The drama with the laxatives caused more bruising in the middle of my abdomen and i was so swollen, especially near the incision. Fr about day 6 my healing really sped up. Today, at day 9 i cooked, washed the dishes, and showered myself without having to take many breaks. I'm slowly standing more upright veryday, and at this rate i think i'll be standing straight in about 3 days. Even through the painful experience that it's so worth it. I'm really looking forward to seeing the full results after I've fully healed.

    I had a Tummy Tuck with 360-Lipo and BBL 11 days ago. The recovery is no joke. I've cried daily due to swelling, gas, and pain. You definitely need a support system. My support system is small, and my recovery has been hard to deal with alone. I hope I can look back on this a year from now and say I made the right decision. Right now, I'm not feeling so great about having the surgery.

I can't tolerate the binder much anymore, but I think I will rock the binder during the day and the faja at night. I also finally get my first lymphatic massage tomorrow. I'm hoping that it will bring me some relief of swelling. Thanks for checking in.

      I can concur with not having aggressive liposuction. I am 6 mths post op now and I doubt much will change in the next 6 months. I still have upper belly fat for sure and I have loose skin on my stomach and lower back. I had 360 Lipo with arm liposuction with Sonobello. If you have significant fat you need removed this is not the place to go, periodt! Also because they only give local anesthesia if you have a high tolerance to drugs they won’t be able to numb you enough to even do aggressive liposuction, this is what happened to me!

It takes a full year to recover and you may still be swollen after that. Keep in mind you will need lots of help. My husband helped me out a lot and my oldest child (13) she helped me sweep and mop since you can’t do a lot of things for a while. Would I do it again I’m not sure. And I also had chin lipo and arms at the same time I would definitely recommend lipo it’s a much more faster down time.

      I agree I had a tummy tuck in 2021 and I still get minor swelling and I still have a lot of stretch marks because I was already tiny just had wrinkly skin especially around my belly button so there wasnt enough skin to pull down to get rid of all the stretch marks. So after all that money I still have stretch marks but my muscles are tighter and my belly button is better. You cant go into this surgery looking for perfection we will never have our old body back. I have to keep reminding myself that but it does look better.

    Beware of tummy tucks. I’ve had several procedures that went well but I really regret this one. Never never put on a pound of weight after one. I put on two stone after menopause- I just couldn’t help it - I got a vertical hernia and a big build up of scar tissue around the new navel- tummy usually tends to bulge below the navel mine now bulges only on the right hand side just above the
    navel. Ive now lost all the weight I put on and now I’m thin but it’s even more noticeable now. When I eat anything it bulges hugely - no shape wear disguises it - it looks absolutely weird!
    It has ruined my life - I can’t wear anything except baggy dresses and I can’t get it fixed on health insurance. It seems I can only get the scar tissue removed by a cosmetic surgeon and go through the whole horrible expensive operation again
