Who's had a TT or Boobs done?

So I'm booked in to have my Tummy Tuck and breast reduction on April 3rd. Starting to get a bit nervous lol, but that's normal.

Just wondering, from those of you who've had it done ... on a scale of 1 - 10, how bad was the pain?

I'd like to know the the pain level too, I'm seriously considering another boob job and Tummy Tuck myself. Had a reduction 25 years ago, time for another reduction and lift, also had a mini tummy tuck done 15 years ago, now that was painful, all those tubes, yuk.

Heck since I'm already gonna be in massive pain, I may as well get the eye lids done too.

Would be nice to know how much ya paid too. I don't have a clue yet as to the cost for both together, $$$$$$$ I'm sure.

my Tummy Tuck was fully covered by medicare but im in australia. It wasnt perfomed by a plastic surgeon just a normal surgeon.

The pain was very painful, it lasted about 2 weeks was on meds for the pain. The first few days were the worst each day got betta.

In the end the pain is worth it:)

Hi ,

I am a wimp, so I dont know if I qualify to answer this question...LOL

I had the abdominoplasty and medial thighplasty at the same time. It was awful like an 8-9. Not while in the hospital, but at home. I was allergic to the pain meds and had to stop taking them when I got home from the hospital. All the other substitutes they gave me did not work. The worst part is the drainage tubes. I was dying to get them out since the skin around them gets extremely irritated and burns quite a bit. It was such a relief to have them pulled out!!!!

As you can see, I did not give you the edited warm and fuzzy version! ITs a rite of passage to pay for a flat tummy and new belly button!
