Fleur de lis abdominoplasty

[graceann0888 145]

Has anyone had a fleur de lis abdominoplasty? I'm scheduled for mine in about 3 weeks along with breast implants. I'm really excited just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom or advice? I am 14 months post RNY with a total loss of 155lbs. I'm still about 175lbs but the plastic surgeon says I'm ready now and am actually quite small under all this skin! Who knew?! Lol

I have!

I would say keep in compression for a good 6weeks and keep those paper tapes on for 10-12 weeks as they support the scar whilst healing - Then massage with E45 or something - alot!

Good luck! You will love your results :-)

Below pic not too long after my Op (Maybe a month after)

Thanks! I will do that. I go for my pre op on Tuesday and I'm excited . Starting to get a little nervous. How was your pain afterwords and what did they give you for it? Was yours outpatient? Do you have a before picture? You look fantastic!

I stayed in hospital for 3 days then came home (I live less than 1 mile from hosp) Pain was fine - Though I did not have my stomach muscles done as I have hernia mesh in there meaning they couldn't be done) I do believe the pain comes from the stomach muscles being sutured though. I had very little pain - Just couldn't stand up straight for a week as stomach felt so tight. After that all was fine again.

Here is a before pic or three (Sorry it's fuzzy that was my old camera)
