Hopefully people can post pictures of their tummy tuck scars and overall results of the tummy tuck. This will be very helpful for those who are looking into getting a tummy tuck. It will give us an idea of what to expect months or years after surgery. The name and location of the doctor would also be wonderful to help us in making the decision. Thanks!

I don't really have pics of my scars, guess I could take some.

But, here are my before and after pics (3 months out).

I was very happy with the results and my doctor was excellent.

I plan to use him again for a thigh lift once all my weight has been lost.

WestCoastFatGuy & Kellie74,

Thank you guys so much! I needed to hear that. Most people don't say a word and in my head that makes me think that there isn't a difference. I'm self-conscious as it is, you all have made me feel 10 times better about myself- Thanks so much!

Anyone else have pics to share???

I always love seeing the results of others, too. I've become a plastic surgery TV show addict!

Tamj, there's a huge difference, I can't imagine everyone NOT saying how great you look.

Thanks HarleyNana,

I was afraid to post the pics, but now am glad I did.

But, I don't want to "take over" this thread.

Anyone else brave enough to share???

You look awesome. I am having my TT on 4/21 and our preop pics look similar. Julie

Julie,

I notice you are having thigh lift too. What kind? Inner or outer? That's what I want done next. I was originally supposed to have it done with my TT, but they weren't able to do it all at once.

Hi there. I am having an inner thigh lift with out lipo. I don't have too much hanging skin so he isn't having to make the incision down the entire thigh to the knee. Instead he is doing the lipo and bring the skin up and suturing it up into my upper thigh. He has to cut me 1/2 way around my thigh to do it that way. JulieNYC has her thighs lifted and had the incision down the inner thigh. He said that it doesn't look too bad 6 months out. Julie

How much fat did they remove from your abdomen?

Wow, please keep me posted on your progress. Sounds like a nice way to have it done, vs the large scar down the thigh.

I'm very interested in your outcome. Good luck and congratulations!

How much fat did they remove from your abdomen?

I really don't know exactly. From what my husband told me, the doctor said that they removed the "maximum amount that they were allowed"- I'm still not sure what that REALLY means. But, that was with the removal of skin and the lipo of the outer thighs too.
