WARNING - SEMI NUDE - GRAPHIC - EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK PICS

Well just saw the doctor today and he took my binder off and checked my surgery and everything is healing up great. I am very pleased with the results and its only 5 days post op. Its gonna look smoking hot when everything heals up. Today is the first day I got to actually see the results. Its like a Christmas present being unwrapped. Its not as common to see pics of guys having a tummy tuck so this should be good to give you obesityhelp guys an idea of what to expect in results from and extended tummy tuck. Oh - And I got to say the scars look far more painful than they actually feel. Yes Im taking my pain meds so Im sure that helps but it definitely doesn't feel as rough as the pics look.

BUT FIRST THE BEFORE TUMMY TUCK PICS!

My belly button was VERY sad indeed!

Nice side tummy roll!

LOTS OF SKIN!

LOVE HANDLES GALORE!

AND NOW THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

Here are the pics of my extended tummy tuck:

Above is a closup of my new belly button. Im in love!

Very Pleased with my new tummy!

It is definitely an extended tummy tuck - no more love handles!

Bye Bye excess Skin!

Drains - a necessary evil!

I had my surgery in Miami' date=' Florida. My surgery was done in a Hospital. It is not unheard of to be able to find prices as low as the 3,000's, but you have to be cautious. It is most likey so cheap because those doctors will do the surgery in their own "surgical center" to cut the costs of the hospital. I felt much safer being in a hospital "just in case". To save a few grand when your life is as stake didn't make sense to me. But a girl I know did have a 3,000 dollar miami tummy tuck and is happy with it. Not for me though.[/quote']

I'm in Miami too, who was your plastic surgeon? Did you get the sleeve here as well?

Check out the end of my youtube video. Pretty recent updated pics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXpt1clmay4

The results look very good in your post 69 day video. Did the surgeon tell you how long it would take for full sensitivity to return and for the scar to "disappear?" Also, does this impact your ability to perform functionally? I can imagine that if your upper thighs are still desensitized, then your night life would also be impacted. When did the surgeon say that you would be fully recovered and be able to turn on the heat during cardio and lifting?

Havent had a followup with my surgeon recently to ask him since hes located so far away from me. I do know the sensitivity thing is not a guarantee. I know someone who is 6 years post op and still dont have all the sensation back. Im crossing my fingers I will not have the same issue. If you mean sex by functionally I couldn't tell you because Im not in a relationship right now, but everything "works" fine. Upper thighs have most sensation back which is good. I dont feel up to lifting weights but I would feel ok doing cardio. Im only going on walks for now. I do still feel the need to wear my binder during the day time. I still get a little swollen if I don't and it is just so darn uncomfortable without it. It feels so tight and weird without it. Hope you got the answers you were looking for.

You're TT looks fabulous! I have been wearing the silicone strips in hopes that my TT scar will heal nicely. I have been using the expensive silicone strip shaped specifically for a TT scar from Oleeva yet I still had to cut it to fit my scar shape. I had enough to cover my scar with about 4-5 inches leftover. I doubt if one silicone shape will be enough to cover your scar from end to end. I would recommend NOT buying the TT shaped silicone and just buying the straight one since you will have to cut it too to fit your specific TT shape. I'm not sure but I think the straight pieces are a little cheaper. The bad thing is that the silicone wears off and you have to replace it approximately 6-8 weeks I believe. My silicone strip has turned up around the entire edge and doesn't stay to my skin anymore and I only wore it for 3 weeks. I will be trying a different brand on my next purchase.

Wow! Please post again once you're more healed, too!
