Armygalbonnie 643 Posted January 6, 2017 I had a Tummy Tuck 12 years ago, and it is low at my bikini line. It went all the way around my body but it's virtually unseen now. I've NEVER seen a tummy tuck where they split you from top to bottom!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catwoman7 11,220 Posted January 6, 2017 I had a Tummy Tuck 12 years ago, and it is low at my bikini line. It went all the way around my body but it's virtually unseen now. I've NEVER seen a tummy tuck where they split you from top to bottom!!!! Fleur-de-lis tummy tucks are pretty common in patients who have lost a LOT of weight. I'm strongly considering one. At almost 60 years old, I'm never going to wear a bikini again, so I'm not sure I care about the vertical scar. They can get your waist much smaller with the fleur-de-lis cut.

Dr-Patient 830 Posted January 7, 2017 Looking good! And the great news is, after you're all healed up--drains, out; incisions healhed/normal color--all of what looks to be "a lot," etc., won't be very noticeable at all. Nice job. Congratulations to you and your surgeon. I want a thigh lift and a panniculectomy; but at 61, I don't think I'll bother. If I did (and especially since I don't look my age; people think I'm 42-45), my, my, my. :-) I think God would rather I not do it. I might turn into something I've never been [smile!!] . 3 Dashofpixiedust8, 4TheHealthOfIt and Sosewsue61 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather I 500 Posted January 7, 2017 Thank you for sharing! Very informative. The drains look the most uncomfortable to me, as a bystander. I didn't know the difference of the flour-de-lis versus regular TT, so good information to have. You already look great, so I bet you'll be tickled pink in about 3-6 months when everything settles down. 1 4TheHealthOfIt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyslim2015 74 Posted January 7, 2017 I wanna to Tummy Tuck to remover all my wrinkly and hanging skin. I pretty much bounced back. I'm lucky tho. I had a breast lift the surgeon called it a reduction so insurance would pay. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App I wanna to tummy tuck to remover all my wrinkly and hanging skin.

Spiceyfrog 269 Posted January 13, 2017 @melunruh@melunruh My last appointment went well. He said everything looked good and took three drains out. I go back this Saturday to get the other out - cannot wait! I am exactly two weeks today and feeling better each day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
