Reviews for Dallas, TX Plastic Surgeon Dr. Phillip Dauwe Tummy Tuck Procedures

Dr. Dauwe performed an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation for me after my two pregnancies. I can’t overstate how happy I am with my choice and my results. After extensive research and consults with other plastic surgeons, this was an easy decision. There are so many reasons to choose Dr. Dauwe’s practice, but here are my top five: (1) His training is impeccable. He attended top programs from medical school through residency and a prestigious aesthetic surgery fellowship. (2) He has the ability to listen and understand the result you’re looking for and the artistic eye and technical skill to deliver it with precision. (3) He’s widely-known in his field, and his reputation is excellent. Just ask another plastic surgeon if they’ve heard of him. (4) He’s a thoughtful communicator who takes the time to answer every question and thoroughly explain his approach. I felt fully prepared and educated before my procedure date and throughout my recovery. (5) His office team! They are absolute pros and just a joy to be around! I didn’t realize how much this would matter to me, but they made me feel comfortable and confident through every step of the process. Julie (who is extraordinary) and the entire team are 100% competent and professional, endlessly patient and knowledgeable, and always, always warm and friendly. I’m incredibly thankful to everyone at Dauwe Plastic Surgery for your care and good work. You all are the absolute greatest! More

I am now a little over 2 months post op after Dr. Dauwe performed a tummy tuck, breast lift and implant exchange for much smaller implants. I cannot say enough about how incredible my whole experience has been. Dr. Dauwe truly listened to what I was trying to achieve and my results are even better than I could have anticipated. He has given me so much more self confidence especially at 56 years old. He is such an amazing surgeon! He has an amazing staff too. Even the surgical center was the best I have encountered. I highly recommend Dr. Dauwe!!! More

I am 6 months post op from a tummy tuck and hernia repair performed by Dr. Dauwe. You will instantly fall in love with the staff at the consult. They are so attentive and welcoming. I was able to discuss what I was looking to achieve without being upsold to do more than I was comfortable with. Julie was amazing, and answered all my questions. Dr. Dauwe helps you feel at ease and confident that you are in good hands. I followed their guidance and had a very smooth recovery. I took 5 days off work ( I have a desk job) and was able to kneel down and help give the kids a bath 3 days after surgery. Now 6 months later I feel amazing! I HIGHLY recommend Dauwe plastic surgery. More

Where do I start..my surgery was on July 19, 2023. Still in recovery currently as I did breast aug, tummy tuck and liposuction in multiple areas - 5.5h-6h surgery time. I can tell you this: next day after surgery I could lift my hands like nothing happened (feeling like you did more push-ups than you should, some soreness sure but that’s expected!) After 1.5 weeks I was already full force working visiting construction sites (I run my own business), and 2 weeks later from surgery day - I can pretty much do anything (following doctor’s “what you can and cannot do at this stage”). Recovery was EASY, pain - what pain? I had once sciatica on both legs due to over lifting weight at the gym and THAT was worse lol I am EXTREMELY happy with Dr. Dauwe. The entire process starting from me coming in for a consultation until now was simply amazing. Doctor was very reassuring and give his honest opinion based on my goals, I fully trusted and cannot be happier. So if you are considering (but scared and yes, there are many plastic surgeons out there), I would highly recommend to book a consultation with Dr Dauwe. His team is amazing, always there to answer any questions and very supportive (it’s just an amazing wholesome experience) More

* I wanted to do an update for my tummy tuck with Dr. Dauwe. I am about 1.5 years post op. I am still the same weight maybe even a few pounds heavier. I am still so in love with my results. I am adding two new photos one is at 1 year PO and second is my before. First photo is 7 weeks PO. *original post: I have nothing but positive things to say! I did a lot of research on TT and thought Dr. Dauwe’s drainless technique was the best route to go for healing and recovery. I traveled from out of state to see him. His office staff were very communicative especially Julie thank you to her for all her help with scheduling ect. I had my TT July 1st and recovery has been smooth and I’m back to working out and running already. More

I just recently had a tummy tuck performed by Dr. Dauwe and it was amazing the care and attention I was given. It made me feel secure and happy that I chose him as my surgeon. The office is also amazing and the ladies who work there that I have met and talked to have been nothing but amazing. The person that I have talk to the most has been Julie, and she is amazing and has answered all my questions and concern very quickly and has been so helpful. If you are considering Dr. Dauwe for any medical procedure, I highly highly highly recommend him and his staff. I already feel so much more confident, even though I am still super swollen. Thank you guys! More

Dr. Dauwe is Dallas’ Best PS! I started going to Dr. Dauwe’s office a year ago (November 2021) to see Tessa Thornton for Botox. My daughter is 5 years old. My stomach never returned to its former glory after having her which gave me a sense of body dysmophia I have never experienced. I’m naturally a slender person with a fast metabolism and while I do workout I have never had to work at being thin. No matter what I tried after pregnancy I just couldn’t get rid of my pooch or c-section shelf. While waiting for Tessa, I noticed so many happy patients come and go in the waiting room. This got me thinking more and more about doing something to rectify my stomach woes. During one of my Botox appointments I spoke with Dr. Dauwe’s nurse, Julie. She is amazing and assured me I was a great candidate for a tummy tuck. She answered several of my preliminary questions and encouraged me to schedule a consultation. Enter Dr. Dauwe…I went for my consultation and was blown away by his humility, knowledge, and kindness. Dr. Dauwe has a calming confident demeanor. For me, it’s about a vibe or if I click with someone in addition to their competence. Dr. Dauwe immediately assessed that he could address my needs and achieve my desired results. He suggested abdominoplasty and liposuction to my flanks. He recognized that I had a congenital umbilical hernia which he could resolve during the procedure as well. Let me just tell you his compassionate bedside manner is bar none and he is also efficient! My consultation was in July 2022 and during that appointment I scheduled my procedure for December 13th 2022. The pre op appointment was valuable and his superb staff helped me prepare for the “what to expect” before during and after surgery. I couldn’t wait for the day to be here. The day of surgery I arrived at the Baylor surgery center one hour before my procedure. They took me back and the team there was delightful. I could tell I was in the best hands. His anesthesiologist, Dr. Amy Ripley, from Dallas Anesthesiology Associates was lovely, encouraging, and explained everything she was going to do during the procedure. Dr. Dauwe came in to see me, and once again proved I was entrusting the right physician for the job. He marked me up and we were off to the OR. I can’t put into words his precision and attentiveness. He has a gift. He wants you to have the best results possible and wants you to be happy. Today I saw Dr. Dauwe 9 days post op. My recovery has gone as expected. My pain was well managed and I’m already standing pretty straight. (This varies from patient to patient) I couldn’t help but tell him “thank you” and will remain grateful to him for giving me my confidence back! I feel like a new better version of myself. He took excellent care of me and I would recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery. I am thrilled with my results so far and know they will only get better from here on out! Also, his office is gorgeous! Love all of the David Yarrow art!!! Thank you, Dr. Dauwe, and to your incredible team! I feel so blessed! More

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Dauwe!! I had a mommy makeover (tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation) with him at the end of September and my results blow my mind!! I’ve never felt so good about my body!! I can’t recommend him enough!! Schedule a consultation and go do it; you’ll be SO glad you did!! AND his Nurse Injector, Tessa, is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. I see her for Botox and Lip filler and she does an amazingly beautiful job!! Go see them!! More

Dr. Dauwe and his staff are absolutely phenomenal!! I have had multiple procedures (Tummy Tuck, Lipo, BA Revision with lift) with Dr. Dauwe and am completely IN LOVE with my results!! He makes you feel very comfortable with his incredible bedside manner! He will completely explain every step of the process and answer every question you have with ease. His staff is just as amazing Julie is THE BEST! I followed her to Dr. Dauwe and am so thankful that I did! She will answer every question you have with ease, she will reassure you when you get nervous, she will be your best friend! As soon as you step off the elevator into their office, you will be treated like part of the family. I have called, texted and emailed Dr. Dauwe and Julie at nights, on weekends and even interrupted one of Dr. Dauwe's family vacations and they never made me feel bothersome to them. During my last surgery, Bre was with Dr. Dauwe and she is just the sweetest thing ever. It really helps to ease your nerves going into the operating room with a friend by your side (since spouses/visitors are not allowed into surgery centers due to COVID). I just can not say enough wonderful things about this entire team! If you are considering Cosmetic Surgery, go see Dr. Dauwe, you will not be disappointed!!!! More

Amazing! Wow! Impressive! Exceeded expectations! Those are all words I’ve used to describe the results and the service my wife got from Dr. Dauwe & his staff. My wife got a tummy tuck, liposuction and a breast reduction/lift from Dr. Dauwe. It was the best decision she could have made. From the moment we first called his office and spoke to Julie to the post op care we received from the nurse and the doctor, everything has been perfect. His front end staff made up of Julie, Sarah & Brie have been PHENOMENAL. Sarah, especially. This woman is simply amazing. She answered all our questions with a patience I had never encountered before in a medical setting. And let me tell you we had many-many questions as anyone going through this would be expected to have. This is no easy process but they made it so seem-less for us by being so kind and helpful. They literally held our hand as we navigated this process. We visited and considered several surgeons in different states and nobody came close when it came to service and results. Dr. Dauwe’s attention to detail and care for his patients is world class. He’s got a excellent bedside manners and truly cares for his patients. When you come to Dr. Dauwe you can expect a doctor that is meticulous and with high expectations for himself and the results he gives you. My wife and I could not be more grateful and happy to have chosen Dr. Dauwe. If you are reading this and are considering choosing Dr. Dauwe, do it. You will not be disappointed at the service and results you will receive from him and his staff. I truly hope that the gratitude I feel for Dr. Dauwe and his staff transcends this review and makes it your way. We are so lucky to have found this Doctor and this office. I hope you do too. Edit: The Anesthesiologist(I don’t remember her name) selected for the operation was amazing. She took really good care of my wife. My wife had low blood pressure and that anesthesiologist stayed with my wife from start to finish and didn’t leave until my wife was great. She too, was amazing. Fred R. More

I cannot praise Dr. Dauwe and his staff enough, from start to finish it has been an amazing experience. I had my consultation back in January where Dr. Dauwe took his time to listen to my lifestyle and goals (I was looking for a breast reduction and tummy tuck after significant weight loss) before making his suggestions. He listened to my concerns and was supportive of any decision I wanted (which is a MUST for any doctor) and encouraged me to take some time with my decision. After about a week I was pretty set on going with his suggestions, and made the call to the office where Julie (the office Wonder Woman) worked with my insurance and answered any additional questions I had. Flash forward to COVID and finally getting to my date (I had originally scheduled my operation for the summer back in January), Julie and the office team made sure to talk me through any of my concerns about getting a massive procedure like this done during COVID. All of my visits (both pre-op and post) have been during the pandemic and I have always felt safe and comfortable with the standards of safety of the office. The surgery center was equally amazing as was the staff who took care of me during my first night of recovery, which for someone who was super anxious/never had any history of hospital stays is saying something! My post-op was a breeze. I was given all the information and support needed to be able to set my recovery up for success from Dr. Dauwe and his team, and always had immediate communication for any concerns or questions I had. As for the results, I was IMMEDIATELY happy with everything even bandaged and swollen. I'm two months post-procedure and I cannot tell you how incredibly delighted I am with my results, and the changes keep coming (as expected and told, because it'll take about 6 months for things to settle out). I am a very athletic person and to be able to return to working out without having to wear two bras to hold down the ladies is easily the best feeling ever (and to not even need a bra just doing chores around the house is a whole new world for me). I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am to Dr. Dauwe for taking the time to listen and advise based on my lifestyle, goals, and body frame for what he suggested for me. Between the knowledge/skillset of Dr. Dauwe and his amazing staff I will always return to them for any future procedures I may need. Everyone in that office is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind. Like I said at the start, I cannot praise or recommend Dr. Dauwe and his staff enough! More

I could not possibly be happier with Dr. Dauwe, his beautiful work, his bedside manner and his office staff! I had a significant weight loss and felt self-conscious about my loose skin and sagging everything and like I couldn't fully enjoy all the hard work it took to get where I am now. Dr. Dauwe put my breasts back where they belong and shaped them beautifully and did a gorgeous tummy tuck. I am so impressed with my results and can't stop looking at myself in the mirror! His office staff is friendly and accommodating and Dr. Dauwe personally handled all of my post-op questions quickly and thoroughly and never once made me or my husband feel as if we were a bother even though we had more than a few questions. His work speaks for itself (seriously, go look at his results page on his website, they're awesome) but his professional and personable manner and the smooth handling from consult to post-op by his office staff made it truly a five-star experience.

I chose Dr. Dauwe, as a result of him joining practices with my breast augmentation doctor from 2001; Dr. Fred Lester. After my initial consultation with Dr. Dauwe, I knew I was in safe and knowledgeable hands for my tummy tuck, which was performed in October 2020. While it is an extensive surgery, Dr. Dauwe was very attentive to my needs, and comforting throughout the entire process. Months later, I am pleased with my results and progress. Additionally, Dr. Dauwe staff was so friendly and helpful. Before, during and after my surgery, they answered my questions promptly. Sara and Julie were magnificent! I will always choose Dr. Dauwe as my plastic surgeon, because he is so very reasonable and his work is phenomenal. I would recommend Dr. Phillip Dauwe for your plastic surgery needs in the DFW area.

Implant exchange and mastopexy, liposuction - Dr. Dauwe is amazing!! I had BA with another doctor in 2015, my implant was way too big for my chest wall, and I was never truly happy.

Dr. Dauwe and His team are Phenomenal!!! - Tummy Tuck with LipoI had an extremely long journey to Dr. Dauwe, but I'm so thankful that I found him! I couldn't figure out the source of my GI problems after seeing MULTIPLE specialists, GI doctor, Colorectal Surgeon, multiple diagnostic tests with no answers. I have known Julie for years, and thankfully after talking with her one day she suggested I come see Dr. Dauwe. One look at my abdomen, he said "has anyone told you that you have a pretty significant umbilical hernia?" I had no idea, but Dr. Dauwe was able to figure out the source of my problems and knew how to get it corrected. We decided that a Tummy Tuck due to Diastasis Recti and lipo because why not, along with a hernia repair would fix my problem, and he was right!! I had surgery 7/17/20 and my problems are GONE! I also have an amazing looking tummy again! My recovery was way easier than I had imagined! I took 2 weeks off work and enjoyed having time to relax. I had pain, but it was controlled pretty easily. During my recovery some concerns arose, Dr. Dauwe called and talked to me numerous times, I even bothered him while he was on vacation. He's an amazing surgeon, but he's also a caring, fun person to talk to. He will make you feel completely comfortable. Plus his office manager, Julie, is the sweetest person you will ever meet! I love Dr. Dauwe, Julie ad the whole team and Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery Center. I can't wait for my next procedure!! More

I love Dr. Dauwe, Julie ad the whole team and Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery Center. I can't wait for my next procedure!! More

I cannot praise Dr. Dauwe and his staff enough, from start to finish it has been an amazing experience. I had my consultation back in January where Dr. Dauwe took his time to listen to my lifestyle and goals (I was looking for a breast reduction and tummy tuck after significant weight loss) before making his suggestions. He listened to my concerns and was supportive of any decision I wanted (which is a MUST for any doctor) and encouraged me to take some time with my decision. After about a week I was pretty set on going with his suggestions, and made the call to the office where Julie (the office Wonder Woman) worked with my insurance and answered any additional questions I had. Flash forward to COVID and finally getting to my date (I had originally scheduled my operation for the summer back in January), Julie and the office team made sure to talk me through any of my concerns about getting a massive procedure like this done during COVID. All of my visits (both pre-op and post) have been during the pandemic and I have always felt safe and comfortable with the standards of safety of the office. The surgery center was equally amazing as was the staff who took care of me during my first night of recovery, which for someone who was super anxious/never had any history of hospital stays is saying something! My post-op was a breeze. I was given all the information and support needed to be able to set my recovery up for success from Dr. Dauwe and his team, and always had immediate communication for any concerns or questions I had. As for the results, I was IMMEDIATELY happy with everything even bandaged and swollen. I'm two months post-procedure and I cannot tell you how incredibly delighted I am with my results, and the changes keep coming (as expected and told, because it'll take about 6 months for things to settle out). I am a very athletic person and to be able to return to working out without having to wear two bras to hold down the ladies is easily the best feeling ever (and to not even need a bra just doing chores around the house is a whole new world for me). I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am to Dr. Dauwe for taking the time to listen and advise based on my lifestyle, goals, and body frame for what he suggested for me. Between the knowledge/skillset of Dr. Dauwe and his amazing staff I will always return to them for any future procedures I may need. Everyone in that office is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind. Like I said at the start, I cannot praise or recommend Dr. Dauwe and his staff enough! More

My experience with Dr. Dauwe has been beyond my expectations. The procedures that I had done were: breast augmentation and tummy tuck, I waited 22 years to have this done and the results were amazing. I really have cried of happiness to see my tummy the way it used to be before my first born. For me it was a challenge and I did a lot of research and after going to several doctors I decided to go with Dr. Dauwe because since the moment he met with me, I knew he was the one to trust. During the consultation he informed me about everything and he was extremely professional and knowledgable. I knew then that I have to trust him making this change for myself. Also his personnel is very friendly and helpful specially Sara and Julie they are such a great asset to the clinic. Thank you Dr. Dauwe you made me feel happy again!!! God Bless You and I will be eternally grateful. Hugs to everyone. More

I could not possibly be happier with Dr. Dauwe, his beautiful work, his bedside manner and his office staff! I had a significant weight loss and felt self-conscious about my loose skin and sagging everything and like I couldn't fully enjoy all the hard work it took to get where I am now. Dr. Dauwe put my breasts back where they belong and shaped them beautifully and did a gorgeous tummy tuck. I am so impressed with my results and can't stop looking at myself in the mirror! His office staff is friendly and accommodating and Dr. Dauwe personally handled all of my post-op questions quickly and thoroughly and never once made me or my husband feel as if we were a bother even though we had more than a few questions. His work speaks for itself (seriously, go look at his results page on his website, they're awesome) but his professional and personable manner and the smooth handling from consult to post-op by his office staff made it truly a five-star experience.

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Dr. Dauwe and his staff (Julie, Sara, the overnight nurse) everyone is so nice, professional and helpful. They are all very accessible, and willing to help you no matter what. I had a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with lift and liposuction performed by Dr. Dauwe and he did an amazing transformation with my body. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He answered all my questions no matter what the question was ...lol He is simply amazing! More

My experience was amazing from the first consultation. I had three consults before that came highly recommend as well. However, I am so glad I chose to get one more. I loved his manner, the staff and his unique technique for a tummy tuck without drains. I am 14 days post op and already thrilled with the results! More

Dr. Dauwe is AMAZING! - I absolutely love my results from my tummy tuck/lower body lift. I had 11.5 lbs of skin removed after major weight loss, and Dr. Dauwe sculpted me into a whole new beautiful body. His staff is BEYOND AMAZING! I can't wait to have Dr. Dauwe sculpt my breasts and arms next. I would recommend him to EVERYONE. My skin removal changed my life, and I think Dr. Dauwe is THE BEST!!! More

I would highly recommend Dr. Dauwe! From the moment I walked in the office, everyone was so personable and made me feel right at home. I knew the end result I was seeking but was unsure of my options. Dr. Dauwe took the time to go over the options and ultimately recommended a tummy tuck to achieve my desired outcome. I was apprehensive at first but Dr. Dauwe eased my concerns with a thorough explanation of the procedure and the recovery process. He ensured all my questions were answered and I left feeling confident in my decision. The procedure was seamless and I am thrilled with the results! I could not have asked for a better experience and am thankful for the expertise of Dr. Dauwe as well as his amazing staff!! More

Dr. Dauwe and his staff earned every one of these stars! My journey that ultimately led me to Dr. Dauwe started with giving birth to two sets of twins, gaining 140+ pounds, and then losing those extra pounds after 12 years of carrying it around. I went on many consults, but he was the only one that asked me sincere questions about my well being, vision for myself, and what would make me feel confident again. He heard me and then offered options that took what I wanted into account while keeping my health in mind. Seeing him and hearing him speak about our action plan made it apparent that he is an artist and is extremely passionate about his work. I'm thee weeks out from a MAJOR breast lift and tummy tuck that corrected pretty serious diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation) from my pregnancies. I am over the moon - pie in my eyes excited over the results! The obvious difference is physical, but I want to talk about the other things I have experienced that have already made an impact. I am a singer, and I stopped performing after my children were born due to lack of breath control/diaphragm control. Almost immediately after surgery I discovered that my strong voice is back! It has been an awesome surprise that I hadn't expected. In about 2 weeks I have concert tickets and plans for a pretty epic date night with my husband, and I find myself being excited about "THAT" dress. We all have one... It's the one we want to wear but never make it out of the house in because we lose our nerve. I tried it on and darn near cried when I saw that I look like myself again, but even better than I remembered. All in all, if you want to create a relationship with a surgeon that cares for you as a whole person Dr. Dauwe is your guy. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. More

One of the Best Decisions I’ve Ever Made - After having four babies in eight years, my tummy was in desperate need of help. I researched surgeons and procedures and I knew I wanted a plastic surgeon who preformed a drainless tummy tuck and had an overnight facility for the first night post-op. I had consultations with several qualified surgeons and had come to believe that all plastic surgery offices were going to feel like a “take a number, wait your turn, and then send you on your way” operation. I was *this* close to putting money down with another surgeon until my gut told me to just do one more consult. That consult led me to Dr. Dauwe and made all the difference in this process. Dr. Dauwe is not only a competent, meticulous, and well-trained surgeon, he is also a wonderful person! He has patiently answered all of my many, many questions—never making me feel like I was annoying or burdening him. He has cheered me on and celebrated with me in the recovery process. He makes you feel like you are his only and most important patient. I am beyond satisfied with my results and it is not an exaggeration to say that I look better now, at 37 and after four pregnancies, than I did at 21. Dr. Dauwe is a true gem and I can’t recommend him highly enough. More

I'm so very happy I had the best experience - I am so grateful to have met Dr. Dauwe. I was so concerned about having both silicone implants removed, double mastectomy with fat-grafting for fat transfer then correcting my previous abdominoplasty scar. I am so happy to say that the end results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Dauwe was comforting and reassuring the he was going to take great care of my needs, reassuring me that everything was going to be fine. He did and it was. I'm so grateful for the man/person & doctor he is. I would return to Dr. Dauwe for any future needs. More

Outstanding physician - I have the great honor of knowing Phillip Dauwe, M.D. From his peaceful bedside manor to his outstanding surgical skills, he is top notch. For years I wanted a bilateral breast augmentation. Dr. Dauwe was worth the wait! I expected and got nothing less than excellence from him. His professionalism and artistry from start to finish was everything I imagined. Dr. Dauwe is kind, honest and knowledgable. My surgery consisted of breast augmentation, breast lift, abdominoplasty and liposuction. Dr. Dauwe will always be my surgeon of choice!! More

100% THE Best!!! - Dr. Dauwe is, without a doubt, the best physician I have had the privilege of working with. I originally started seeing him in August of 2014 after a tummy tuck and arm lift. My main surgeon left shortly after my procedures and Dr. Dauwe seamlessly took over my post op care. Not one time did I ever feel uncomfortable or like a burden with all of my crazy questions. He was extremely patient, caring and honest (even if it means turning down a procedure he doesn't think is needed). I was under his full care in April of 2015 when I had a thigh lift done. It's been almost a year later and he still checks to see how I'm doing. He 100% goes above and beyond for his patients. I cannot speak highly enough of him and recommend him to EVERYONE I know. I look forward to working with him on more procedures. More

State of the art - My experience with Dr Dauwe was amazing. I had a bbl and tummy tuck 8 months ago and i am so very pleased with my results! Dr Dauwe will give you the best tummy tuck. He has a special technique that will get you a tighter tummy! Don't hesitate to chose him for your surgery. You will not be disappointed! More

38DDD, 175lbs, 5’3”, No Kids - I had my initial consultation with Dr. Dauwe on June 13, 2018. The breast reduction was submitted the same day to my insurance company. On June 26th I got the approval!!! So excited! My surgery is scheduled for the end of July, more to follow. Updated on 26 Jul 2018: I’m super excited to have my breast reduction surgery on Thursday, July 26th. I asked my surgeon about liposuction around the abdomen and flanks with butt injections. He recommended a tummy tuck, said with the extra tummy skin I would be happier with the TT. I’ve decided to postpone the TT for now. I’ve never had children, and I’m not sure if I will have kids. It was recommended I wait until after having kids for the TT. I’m just glad I’m getting the BR for now. Updated on 27 Jul 2018: Updated on 30 Jul 2018: Saw my surgeon today and he says everything looks great. Still swollen but it will go away. He recommended no underwire bras for 6 weeks so I’m sticking to sports bras. I’m so happy with my results. Almost 2lbs came off each breast and i literally feel the weight off my back. Updated on 3 Aug 2018: Swollen and bruised but moving around with tolerable pain. Doing things for myself, driving, cooking, crooked ponytails lol Updated on 8 Aug 2018: Swelling going down, surprised I’m not showing more bruising. Updated on 20 Aug 2018: I went in for my 3wk follow-up today. PS said I was healing well. I feel great except for he occasional nerve spike. PS I can workout lower body now. The Steri-Strips are starting to fall off. I have one wound that hasn’t fully scabbed so I’m covering it with dry gauze. More
