Good luck in what ever decision you choose. I took 8 weeks off of work, but I had extended tummy tuck and bl/ba along with lipo of flanks and thighs.
Good luck

I just had the panni removed last week. I am very very happy with my results but I opted not to keep my belly button which gave her the ability to take of an extra few inches and pull the skin down tighter. It is all what you can live with. I had little to no pain after the procedure just sore and a lil hunched over. I would say you could go back to work in less than a week if you had to, but I would give it two to make sure your drains are out, those could be a pain at work.
I won't go into the whole crappy story - but my panni removal last year was supposed to be a TT - I paid approx $5K out of pocket to upgrade. The TT part wasn't done and I was very unhappy with just the panni. I went to another surgeon and was able to be approved for a TT based on the scarring complications and issues I had from the skin and fat left after the panni removal.
All that to say that you make want to think about doing it in stages, have the panni done then go back for the TT.
Good luck to you!!!!

I had a reverse TT (it had to be "reverse" because I had already had the panni done) because I had too much extra skin above the waist... the "muffin top" effect was really bad once my lower belly was fixed. So, as someone else already mentioned, I think it depends on hjow much extra skin you ahve ABOVE the belly button. (I kept by belly button, BTW, but it is about an inch and a half lower than it used to be.)
