You Asked for It! Plastic Surgery Pictures



Recommended Posts

I have included several before and after shots of plastic surgery through the following links. They have not been edited so if you don't want to see them, don't click! They are nude and scarred and may be alot to take but for those who will make the transforamtion, you deserve to see the results and I know I would want to know.

These shots are only 2 weeks post op and I am a bit of a bruiser and very fair skinned. I am happy with where I am and know that once the sweeling goes down, I will be even happier. Well, here it goes!

Here are few links to the Tummy Tuck itself. These were taken by the nurse during the proceedure.

The first of me cut hip to hip and you can see my belly button in the middle.

This is the same shot without my belly button:

Here is the flap of skin that was removed from my belly. It weighed in at just over 7 lbs:

I agree, please keep this updated! I really appreciate your cahones in posting these rather personal pics for us. It is exactly what I was wondering about.

Now I get the Spydr :( Kewl!!

And goodonya!! The side shot is very dramatic and wow! You are going to look even more fabulous than you did, and than you do now, after the swelling and bruising goes down.

Ouch, ouch, ouch! I hurt just looking at those. How bad was the pain? Have you lost sensation in your breasts? I'm in desperate need of a lift, but I worry so much about losing sensation. Thanks so much for posting these.

You know, at first, the pain was less than the band. I have a really good doctor and his office understood I was a wuss and gave me all the meds I could need. The pain is more now that the nevers have begun to heal.

They did move the nipple but did not cut them completely so I still have full sensation in both nipples at this point. It may change but the doc seems happy with his work. The sensation is also coming back in my belly and that is where the pain comes in.

It felt so good to take my first shower yesterday. I still miss taking a bath and soaking but all things in good time. I just now got to the point where I can sleep on my side. That feels good!

AGAIN... another KUDO for posting.......... you have balls! and I'm so glad you do, because it REALLY helped.

My good friend had the same thing done a few weeks ago, and I can only imagine if that is what she looked like....

I gotta tell you I look like your before pics, so it is really easy for me to visualize myself in your shoes.

I can't wait to see the result after the swelling goes down.

oh.. yeah.. and I love the tats!

You my friend are a brave soul! I thank you for sharing something normally considered very intimate. I've considered a Tummy Tuck more and more lately as I have become puzzled with what to do with the pound of flesh dangling over my girlie-girl! Personally, I'm a bit of a chicken but I draw strength from your photos. Please keep us updated.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
