I will do my tummy tuck on December 26 and really scary about it. I have worse belly to this lady and also they will do it liposuction on the sides. Im so exciting to see my results and after lost pretty much 40 pounds and a lot inches i cant handle this anymore .... Thanks for this video , need get prepare for this
I don't know what's nastier, the fat belly or the horrible scar after the tummy tuck...might as well keep the fat belly, why go through all of that to look like a weirdo anyways...
Thank you for allowing us to see this procedure. You are certainly confident and very skilled.
I have my tuck arranged for Nov 23. I have to have lipo to my sides/love-handles. I'm concerned about the pain immediately afterwards and how long before it subsides. Can you advise?
@munkeyspunkmoped The pain is quite variable. It depends on technique used and pain tolerance. For most of my patients, I would expect them to be completely off narcotic pain meds by 2-5 days for something like this.
@mrschapman69 This is a common procedure after surgical weight loss procedures. The weight of the tissue removed is often less than it appears, usually around 3-10 lbs.
@Dryates1 how long does this procedure last? I'm having one done in Feb 2012 and i'm dreading the recovery period, but i'm hoping it'll be worth it in the long run.
@soxamillion This isn't painful. You are under heavy sedation during the whole thing. Unless you were under a strict diet and exercise routine, it would take more than a month to lose that weight.
why do you use sedation all the time? cheaper?... also with the muscle tightening, what if she got hit in the stomach? would the stitches inside break? wut happens if they do? whats the point of muscle tightening anyway?
@marineboy090 I prefer sedation for a number of reasons. Primarily safety and patient experience. An added benefit is cost. Not every patient is a candidate for a full tummy tuck without general anesthetic
@Dryates1 So you guys don't cut the sagging muscle?
My friend lost around 155 pounds and he did this tummy tuck operation, his doctor told him you don't need to tighten up your abdominal muscle because it's already tight. However, after couple of days from the operation there is like a bulge in the lower abdominal and little bit there is a loose skin, what do you think the reason is. He lost his weight in 3 years by vigorous exercising and I can see how's doing abdominal exercises easily
@marineboy090 The muscle repair brings the separated muscles after pregnancy back together. This flattens the belly. After about 6 weeks the scar tissue is strong enough that the sutures aren't doing much.
I just had mine done 3 days ago.... Today is the first day that I feel soooo much better..
And I didn't even need pain meds... Had 10 IBS of fat removed... Ugh!! Lol.. The key to healing quick is drinking lots of water and walking every few hours....
i'm having one in a few months. I'm thinking of changing my mind after seeing this. The recovery is what i'm dreading the most, but maybe in the long run it'll be well worth it
My suregery is on August 2nd. I am concerned about the pain medication prescibed due to all the negative publicity. It is Oxycontin q12 hrs. What do u usually use. Any recommendation in regards to OTC for helping with scaring?
@amazinggracecarehome I standardly use Percocet. Too much abuse with Oxycontin. I standardly use Mederma on the scar. I would recommend that you discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
Well I cannot believe I am saying this, but lipid removal appears to be more dramatic than organ removal. Since we use breathing tubes we don't need the big needles and since we do it through trocars, we seem to have less gore. Allrighty then!!!
oh my good god dyrates how bad did the recovery hurt like seriously because im gonna get one iv lost 80 lbs this makes me feel so scared and not wanna do it HOLY SHIT looks painful, was it at least managable after or is really horrifying and unimaginable pain? please :(
@SELVESTER420 The pain during recovery is quite variable. In my experience with my patients, pain pills are necessary for 2-6 days. It is much less painful than it looks.
I'm confused... After the fascia was sewn together up the middle, does it heal together that way (up/down the middle) or is that just for formation until healing is complete? In other words, does the fascia heal back to the fatty tissue of the skin only...while the sewn-together-portion of the fascia is not actually healing together?
Although, no full well that I would experience ALL the pain the recovery could possibly produce, I would still like to have the tummy tuck. I had a tubaligation and that damn near killed me.... The post op pain that is... I just want to get rid of my tummy. Mine is about as big as the one in this video give or take an inch or two. I just really wanna get rid of it. It depresses the crap outta me. Anyone in Chicago??
amazing video. Im going in for major tummy tuck in 10 days time. It has not put me off. I have lost 13 stone in weight and have a lot of excess skin. The pain will be worth it, however bad. I am hoping to regain my body confidence after all my hard work.
Im so sorry you had so much pain I also had a tummy tuck and yes it hurts like hell but Im very glad I did it i also had a breast lift and lipo at the same time it took me about 3 weeks before it could even sleep laying down !!
=( I desperately want a tummy tuck. I've had 2 children and I want another one in a few years, but I dont want to get a tummy tuck if the skins just going to stretched out and give me stretch marks again =/
Have you ever done a panneculectomy on a 400 lb man that has some of his intestines spilling into his class 3 pannis. The docs say I need it done but because there's no hernia pain they are taking their time...maybe they feel it's too dangerous?
I have had 2 c-sections and a hysterectomy the pain is bearable but it's very painful, the first couple of weeks you walk hunched over. It does get better, I'm having my Tummy Tuck in 5 days and can hardly wait, I have not forgotten how painful those surgeries are but for me it will be worth it to get rid of the loose skin.
@SelenaGuillen You definitely get used to it. I still get that chill up the back of my neck when I see someone fall and hurt themselves but surgery if definitely different. Don't let that fear be a reason not to pursue your dreams. Best of luck!
I had a tummy tuck in March last year. Trust me. The pain is like surviving a murder. It's not a walk in the park. I spent $12,050 total on surgery and Jesus, in the end, the money isn't the problem, it's the pain attacks. not panic attack, PAIN attacks. I've had a child via c-section, it felt like a walk in the park compared to this. You have NO IDEA how painful the recovery is. It's.... indescribably horrendous. If I had known how painful it would be I never EVER would have done it.
@batmanbeer Every surgeon, surgery and patient are different. I am sorry to hear that you had such a tough time with yours. What it just a tummy tuck or was there more? It is important to realize that there is certainly pain and recovery necessary. It sounds like your experience was quite unusual for what I see in my practice.
@Dryates1 I had a breast lift and lipo suction as well as a tummy tuck , and they stitched my abdominal muscles together (split during the c section) in one procedure. However, the breast lift I did not find painful and the liposuction wasn't much of a bother either. This being said I will never forget the horror of a tummy tuck. I paid 4 thousand dollars extra for 2 nights in a private hospital room and the nurse attendance was appalling. Nearly traumatizing.
@batmanbeer I've had the surgery done last week.They haven't tightened my muscles because i've been body building for 3 years.7 day passed,solid sneezes cause a little pain and stitches' overheating problem when i don't keep them cold enough.
Doc said muscle tightening is the real pain not stitches
I'm sorry to hear that it was so painful for you :(
After this tummy tuck procedure I want to know if the scar from it goes away or fades almost to where you really don't see it and how long does it take? If I was to do this procedure I wouldn't want the scar to linger the way that it shows on most of these women. If not, is there a surgery that can cover or take away the scarring?
@THenry1977 Scarring is the big trade-off with this surgery. No surgeon can guarantee perfect scars, there are just too many variables, most of which are not under your surgeons control. Some people heal with great scars and some do not. Look at any other surgical scars that you may have to get an idea of what your own scarring type is.
@leelulove24 I'm certain your judgemental and arrogant attitude is getting you nowhere in your life, I'm sorry you're insecure. Especially considering you don't know what you're talking about but you're spewing rude comments. Muscle separation and skin stretching from pregnancy CANNOT BE FIXED without surgery. Before you pretend to have a brain in front of others and to put others down so you can feel better about yourself, just keep your mouth closed instead.
@leelulove24 But some os us really need to it. If u need to exercise then urs can't be that bad as myself and some other people. I had it done 6 weeks again and i am very happy with everything and would not of change it. I am so happy now. I used to execise for 3 hours a day and i could not get rid of it at all.
@christinasketo Well, it's prolly a long operation. Music prolly keeps it from getting boring. Like painting with mood music or something. (I'm totally guessing, I'm not even a med student. Just giving my two cents.)
I am a highscool student interested in the your area of expertise. I am still in 9th grade and would like to hear the classes you would recommend i take.
@ayo2396 Good for you. You have a tough road ahead, 14 years minimum after high school. I would recommend you don't focus on plastic surgery too quickly. Leave the door open by excelling in every class you take. It is easier to get into medical school as a English major than a Chemistry or Biology major. They are looking for well rounded, interesting, smart individuals. Best of luck to you.
WOW Dr. Yates, you are a wizard! Thank you so much for the video - I've been contemplating an abdominoplasty for a while now... your video was GREAT! Thank you thank you!
This is one of the better videos on Abdominoplasty I have seen. I am currently a Surgical Tech Student just about to finish school, and to be honest this surgery was clean and beautiful. I'm sure she was very happy with her results.
I wanted to ask? What Suture was used in reconnecting the muscles? And what suture was used in the skin closing? Also did you use a JP Drain?I will use this video in class along with my presentation. Thank you!!!!
OMG wanted to get this done for like 10 years now! BUT ARGH im scared as!!! Dont know if i want to anymore! so even being put under you need more numbing? or you'd still feel it? OMG
Im thinking of doing it because my weight was 434.31 lbs and my hight is 179 ..now my weight is 224.87 lbs after alot of cardio excercises and body building..
but the question is: WILL I LOSE THE MUSCLES I BUILT??
@laurajayne6 The pain is quite variable. For example of the two tummy tucks we did last week one was a 2/10 the next day on ibuprophen. The other was a 7/10 still on narcotics. The same procedure was done for both.
I think he is very profesional by the way he does his work, very secure and not all doctor's thing about the very low scars since they are not good at the time you wear jeans after procedure......
@jjshere123109 not true. in order to make the incision, there can't be any hair in the wound, it becomes messy and infected. All procedures Ive been in where the patient has hair on the incision, are pre-operatively shaved.
You do a wonderful job it seems.
I know each office and doctor varies as far as prices but what is your median price for this procedure?
Thank you

@Red2001Rum The muscle is tightened but not cut. After weight loss, the muscle can often benefit from tightening to create a flatter abdomen.
I couldn't beging to guess at the cause of his bulge in the lower abdomen without seeing it in person.
Dryates1 4 months ago
@Dryates1 seeing him in person is almost impossible, because we're from saudi arabia :).
Anyway, I know it's hard to tell without seeing the problem and feel it but it's worth to ask.
Just one last question, since he didn't tight up his muscle, when he can start exercising normally?
Red2001Rum 4 months ago
@marineboy090 The muscle repair brings the separated muscles after pregnancy back together. This flattens the belly. After about 6 weeks the scar tissue is strong enough that the sutures aren't doing much.

why do you have music in the back ground? its very disturbing
christinasketo 10 months ago
@christinasketo Well, it's prolly a long operation. Music prolly keeps it from getting boring. Like painting with mood music or something. (I'm totally guessing, I'm not even a med student. Just giving my two cents.)

I am a highscool student interested in the your area of expertise. I am still in 9th grade and would like to hear the classes you would recommend i take.
ayo2396 11 months ago
@ayo2396 Good for you. You have a tough road ahead, 14 years minimum after high school. I would recommend you don't focus on plastic surgery too quickly. Leave the door open by excelling in every class you take. It is easier to get into medical school as a English major than a Chemistry or Biology major. They are looking for well rounded, interesting, smart individuals. Best of luck to you.

This is one of the better videos on Abdominoplasty I have seen. I am currently a Surgical Tech Student just about to finish school, and to be honest this surgery was clean and beautiful. I'm sure she was very happy with her results.
I wanted to ask? What Suture was used in reconnecting the muscles? And what suture was used in the skin closing? Also did you use a JP Drain?I will use this video in class along with my presentation. Thank you!!!!

@BeautieLover Muscle diastasis suture was 0 Etibond Excell. Skin repair 2-0, 3-0, and 4-0 vicryl. 2 JP drains were used.

laurajayne6 1 year ago
@laurajayne6 The pain is quite variable. For example of the two tummy tucks we did last week one was a 2/10 the next day on ibuprophen. The other was a 7/10 still on narcotics. The same procedure was done for both.

I think he is very profesional by the way he does his work, very secure and not all doctor's thing about the very low scars since they are not good at the time you wear jeans after procedure......

for the people that dont kno you cannot shave before surgery.....duhhhhhh... you will get an infection
jjshere123109 1 year ago
@jjshere123109 not true. in order to make the incision, there can't be any hair in the wound, it becomes messy and infected. All procedures Ive been in where the patient has hair on the incision, are pre-operatively shaved.
