Thanks for the compliments. I believe he did do lipo but that it's kind of standard with a tummy tuck to do so. I'm not really sure. Apparently I didn't need much or any muscle repair to by abs (all the years of riding horses and being athletic finally paid off I guess.) So my recovery was easier than expected due to that.

Good luck! I hope you love your results!

You look great! Did you have lipo as well?

May I ask how tall you are? I'm 6ft & just over 200lbs...hoping that I could have comparable results.

Thanks for sharing your pics.

I am 5'7" so I would think if you could get below 200 you'd have pretty similar results.

I assume he did some lipo as part of the tummy tuck but I really don't know. If he did, I'm kind of pissed I still have love handles! ;)

I was fitting into a size 10 jean before surgery and I've still got swelling so 10 fits pretty nicely now but in some clothes I can even do 8 so that's awesome.

Who was your doctor? If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for surgery.

Stephen Steinmetz in Birmingham, Alabama. The TT alone would have been just over 6K but it added quite a bit with the extra skin removal.

Thanks for posting, especially the pics. I think your outcome is great!

I am about your size (5"7.5', 183#) a LBL/BL 9 days ago. DH is going to take pics for me this weekend and I will post them for comparison.

My natural body shape has indentations at my hips at the top of my saddle bags. My PS lipoed my butt and added fat at my hip to smooth out the counture. I'm very pleased and so is my PS.

I just got drains and sutures out yesterday, so I'm in the early stages of healing. I can't really say what size I am. I haven't tried on any clothes. I'm still laying around the house in my compression garment, binder, bra and t-shirt.

Hey Kay! Congrats on your weight loss and surgery too!

I can't wait to see pictures. It was (and is) very hard to find before/afters of people at my similar height and weight. Most pictures the surgeons have are from people who weigh like 130 and just want a tummy tuck after kids.

Thanks so much for posting! It really gives me hope that what everyone says is true, that I will have to wait a year or more to see my "final" results. I have been exercising like crazy but mostly cardio. I need to start a new thread to ask people about ab workouts post TT and what they did to get good results. I've been doing crunches but there's got to be something else that will help.
