Today I am PO 22 days Tummy Tuck....Im 59 and I have had a way better than expected experience! My pain was minimal and I began walking the 1st day and it has helped tremendously in the healing process. Never did sleep in a recliner either. Just had a wedge for my upper body and pillows here and there. I slept like a rock so snug and secure. Haven't had to take the nerve pain killers at all. My advise walk and walk alot if you want to heal and feel better fast.
Hi which doctor you went to , to do your tummy tuck
Did you wear a faja right after your tummy tuck ?
Wow that’s great hear!
Where do you go and who is your doctor
Hello, did you wear a faja the first 2 wks after surgery or a binder? Or did you wait 3 wks to put any of that on?
Dr. William Miami is such a treasure!! Not enough surgeons talk to you after surgery ( they've been paid already, they don't care). these tips are all very important and 100% TRUE. So, follow his advice, ladies!!!! I had my TT in BH. CA 3 yrs ago and I still come back here just to listen to this man. he helps you with your stress and your questions that you did't know you had. My surgeon did a great job with the surgery, but left me with 100 questions and no answers and A LOT of worry and stress. Dr. Miami helped me on YT.
Same here. I feel like I always have questions, but I feel like I'm bothering my doctor and his office
thanks Dr..
This is GOLD! Thank you Dr William
Wow! Cool doctor! I want a guy like this.
Bonjour docteur,from DRC Kinshasa
Those exercises are the truth! They have modifications for EVERY level. I pair them with walking mainly and jogging sometimes. I also do some of the BBL exercises. Working to get my best body BEFORE my procedures.
That's awesome to hear. Keep up the good work. It will pay off. Send me a video! drwilliammiami@icloud.com
Thank you today is day two for me and getting up to walk around when everyone is saying I should laydown and rest. I have. Been doing slow impact exercises sues as small feet pumping exercises because my calf’s were hurting badly. But the morning of 2 days post op I’m able to move around at a snails pace but when I do get up my lower body feels so heavy to walk but yes ur tips have helped and Iv been massaging as well
Walking is the very best. Doesn't have to be far but frequent. Walking helps circulation and prevents blood clots. Keep up the good work!
I’m on my 13 th day recovery on my full tummy tuck … was worth every pain .. 🥰..😮💨..except for when my 2 drains were removed lol .. well I passed out 😮💨.. other then that I’m beyond pleased !!! Doctor another thing that helped me first week was a walker !!! 🥰.. everything else you covered !!
Day 6 for me - wild ride but so worth it!
@@jtreydogg yes ..day 16 .. still can’t sleep so good .. keep pushing through.. we will get there !!! Sending healing thoughts & prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰.. & to all going through this !!!
I am having a tummy tuck with Dr. William in May I cannot wait. I already have a few things. I do have a walker but I’m scared I’m going to get too dependent on it. How long do you use yours?
@@MrsPierreIsabellaI used a walker for a little over a month. I remember going to my 1 month post-op with the walker. By 8 weeks I was able to walk completely upright. The recovery is pretty brutal but the result is so worth it. Also don’t forget a shower chair and a raised toilet seat…
Week 7 … I must say this has been a journey .. but the results are amazing !!! Still not walking 100 % up right s.. here & there there sharp pains all over but doctor says it’s normal 👀👀.. guess next few weeks will see how this goes !!! Good luck ladies .. ty for all sharing all you’re going through .. 🥰💐🙏🏽
So you suggest a massage the day after surgery? Thanks for these tips btw!
If you have lipo with your tummy tuck get a massage the day after surgery but for a tummy tuck by itself I don't recommend massages.
Dr William you are amazing! Thank you so much for all your educational videos and the great work on my body! 😊
You are so welcome!
I got Blood clots the next after being sent home. I’m on blood thinners for life. I’m very pleased with the results ❤
How long did you stay after surgery?
How did you know you had blood clots
Did you walk?
Did you do all this?
Do you recommend anyone in California who you may know or partner with to do tummy tuck? After watching this, does not sound smart to fly to Miami and then fly 5 hours back to California after procedure due to possible DVT from sitting too long. Any suggestions?
I would suggest Dr Tahernia. We trained together at Duke and you will never meet a nicer person. Here is a link to his website: amirtaherniamd.com
Im 7 dpo and have found your videos so infornative. In this video you reference excercises to do 3 weeks po however I cant find the pdf in the comments .
Here is a link for the exercise video: czcams.com/video/FULHXzqaMVQ/video.html
@Dr.williams what if you’re getting tummy tuck and bbl will you put a faja on me? I’m going with you in May can’t wait!
So many of us want to know this question !
Going in May too ✨
I wish he did more videos about TT & BBL recoveryyy
Great video!! 🤗 I’m 30 days away 🎉 can’t wait ☺️
How did it go ? 😊
@@Rasheedsucks129 I’m scheduled for next week ☺️. I’m SUPER nervous 😬 but ready 🙌🏽😂 Thanks for the inquire 🙏🏽
Good luck!
Or should I say, "How did it go?"
@@mikemichael445As for me, I’m 4 weeks out it’s better now but it was rough in the beginning. I def under estimated this surgery and recovery ❤️🩹
@Dr.Williams do you recommend using Exparel for pain or is that not needed?
It's a great drug. I do a lot of lipo and so I can't use it with the medication that I use (Lidocaine) to perform the lipo because it would cause an overdose of local anesthetics.
@@DrWilliamMiamiso glad to have this info no one explained this. So why do doctors still offer it with 360 lipo + TT? Thank you
Thank you. Where is the link to the exercise instructions?
Here it is: czcams.com/video/FULHXzqaMVQ/video.html
@@DrWilliamMiamithank you for this! You mention starting at 3 weeks in this most recent video. In the original link of these exercise videos you mention starting these at 6 weeks. Can you clarify what you recommend starting at the 3 week period? Level 1 of these exercises? Kudos to you for such a fabulous platform. You have taught me so much for preparing and getting ready for my procedure. Leaving Canada and heading to Florida!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I have my patients start at 3 weeks with level one and then by the time they hit 6 weeks they are good to do any type of exercise they like without limitation.
@@DrWilliamMiami thank you so very much!!!
I’m scheduled with you coming spring ! 😍
TT & BBL .. still no faja for 2 weeks ?
Me too! and I’m wondering the same thing we’ll we have to wait to put on a faja still? Excited for us!! Hope you have a speedy recovery girly 😁
@@jasminetello7411omg really !?
So hard to find dolls that have done both procedures at the same time !
I was trying to leave my i G so if you liked we can chat more surgery and maybe learn from one another but it keeps deleting my comment lol
Hope you have a speedy amazing recovery as well ! 💕
Please let me know too. I’m scheduled for same surgeries in July
I woke up with a complete body compression garment after my surgery. It’s made by Design Veronique, they’re located in California… my plastic surgeon exclusively uses their compression and post surgical garments. My results are absolutely gorgeous and my tummy is perfectly flat it’s been 3 years, I had it done in 2021. I’m very surprised he doesn’t recommend a compression garment for the first 2 weeks.
I wondering too my surgery is in July
Thanks for posting however there is no link to the pdf or video.
Sorry. czcams.com/video/FULHXzqaMVQ/video.html
@@DrWilliamMiami thanks for posting this. 8 went from 672 to 225 pre op to 212. As of my tummy tuck 5 weeks ago. I was looking into massage rollers and found your videos and this one too. Keep up the great work in progress with these videos
Thank you. Same to you!
Dr. Miami
Is 64 to old for a Tummy tuck, I don't have any Health issues, as far as I know of, let me know what you think and if im a good candidate for this Surgery. Thank you.
I was 61 when I had my tummy tuck I'm 63 now and all is well. I asked my Dr same question and he stated they've had older patients than me. Go for it!
Could I get the link to purchase the scar cream and strips? Would it work on old scars too?
Sure here is the link: ogeerecovery.com/collections/ogee-scar-recovery
Yes, it is very good for old scars as well. The main point is you have to really be diligent and work with a scar every day and do it for an entire 12 months. I know that seems like a long time but that's how long it can take.
@@DrWilliamMiami thank you.
Idk what I’d do with these videos thank you
Thank you for saying that. I appreciate it. Here is a video you may find helpful: czcams.com/video/z66zon8ri5c/video.html
Can the 3wk tt workouts be done when a reduction was done the same time?
Yes!
After a full TT without lipo, do I need to wear a compression garment and compresion stocking after?
Stockings yes. And then a faja at 2 weeks after surgery and wear the faja for 6 weeks in total after your TT.
Thank you Doctor. You are the best 😊
How long does the pain from the muscle repair last when you get a tummy tuck?
It's really variable. Surprisingly some patients really don't experience much pain but others the pain will last for several months. I would say that typically patients will feel much better by two weeks but they still feel tight and that fades over the next several weeks.
Hi Dr.Williams, do you offer fleur de lis tummy tuck?
I do.
@@DrWilliamMiami I want to know how much weight will I need to weight n for the fleur-de-lis I'm a vsg patient I have loss 160 pounds my bmi is 35 I need some suggestions please
I would get to your goal weight you and your bariatric surgeon had discussed prior to your VSG before have a FDL.
Hi I just got a tummy tuck done and I threw up and felt something rip inside of my tummy will be abs now go back to how they were before
Do you have to have drains? Is glue good?
There are surgeons who don't use drains. It became popular to stop using drains but I think a lot of surgeons have gone back to using drains so we get the fluid out. I personally use drains but if you don't want a drain you should be able to find someone who performs a drainless tummy tuck.
Hi Dr Willian I want to ask if massages and lymphatic drainage are still required after having a mummy makeover
Depends what you mean by a mommy makeover. Three is no one mommy makeover operation.
@@DrWilliamMiami it’s a package deal that includes a breast augmentation with implants also a tummy tuck with Vaser lipo
I would suggest getting massages for the areas where liposuction is performed and they can help for a tummy tuck too but not required for a TT as they aer for the liposuction.
I’m 13 months post surgery of a full body lift and I still sleep in my nest. 😆 well, minus the towels and such. But I’m ruined with 8 pillows!
Well, my wife had her tummy tuck almost 20 years ago, and still seems to sleep with a mountain of pillows!!
So, after this stellar presentation, and watching chilling surgeries gone wrong on a frigging documentary, what I'm hearing is patients have responsibilities too for aftercare. Shattered my wrist skiing, and the surgery eas the easiest part. Regab? Hard work! Same with tummy tuck--adjusting for type of surgery--you have certain tasks to perform to enhance healing, avoid complications and recover. Exercise makes sense. Wonder if surgeons -*-tell-*- patients, like verbally, instructions. Written instructions are skimmed if read at all. There tedious and boring, but it seems, very important. So while there are terrible plastic surgeons, like that guy in Mexico, patients must be responsible too. This fact never occurred to me on such an important level. I feel better now about getting one. The liposuction scares me. My waist is pretty good; maybe I don't need it...? So-- if this guy is this good, he's expensive. Cutting costs on major surgery isn't good. Another year of saving...I think I'm in. Thank you, so much doctor. Maybe I can be a guinea pig, or training patient. Haha!
Hello! Is there a way to remove c section scar tissue without making an incision? If so, what is the name of that procedure? Thanks
Unfortunately there isn't. The only way to remove the scar is with another incision.
@@DrWilliamMiami okay, thank you.
Hi,im 63 years old, and I had a Diastisis and hernia repair in a tummy tuck procedure one month back. Can I still do the exercises?
Yes you can but make sure to get the green light to proceed from your surgeon. I have my patients wait for 6 weeks after a TT or hernia repair prior to doing the exercises but please check with your surgeon.
I am having my breast implants exchanged, tummy tuck & lipo all at the same time. In your opinion is this to much? My surgeon doesn't think so. And I'd rather get all the pain done at once
I would go with your surgeon's recommendation. It is a very individual decision from patient to patient.
How can I get a consultation with you.
You can email Yimey directly at yimey.drwilliammiami@gmail.com and she can help you.
@@DrWilliamMiamido you recommend a tummy tuck and bbl at the same time?
hi doctor i have my surgery 1 week back ,you suggest me not to wear body corset costume?
I advise my patients to begin to wear a faja 2 weeks after a tummy tuck.
The faha? Don't know how it's spelled.
Can you just walk only after three weeks of surgery or u need to do more then just walking?
Walk starting day 1 just around the house on short trips but frequently, (every hour), and as you heal and feel better you walk further and further each day until you feel well enough to start gentle exercise (3 weeks) and then resume full exercise at 6 weeks.
Are wedges better than a Recliner ?
Yes.
Why ?? @@DrWilliamMiami
I know this Dr.William said yes to the massages right away but my doctor said no need for them until my incision are close, so at this point I am very confused.
I always suggest to patients to follow the recommendations of their surgeon.
Me too!
❤❤❤❤
Can I have a tummy tuck with a spinal fusion scar?
You can yes.
Thanks for the quick response! I imagine the tummy tuck recovery is same as or not as bad as the spinal fusion surgery (mine was through my back AND my stomach).
Yes an anterior and posterior approach is a very big surgery but a TT is still a pretty big recovery but I imagine a little less than what you have been through with your back.
I’m confused several plastic surgeons says to where a faja after surgery
Keep in mind we are all different in our advice. I just share my recovery protocols. I don't want my patients to be in a faja immediately after surgery because I worry that the pressure of the faja, or a compression board, will injure the blood supply and create dead tissue in the freshly performed tummy tuck. You have to remember that the blood supply to the skin in the abdomen after a tummy tuck has been weakened.
@@DrWilliamMiamiso what garment do you suggest, do you all still use binders after surgery? If so do we wear the binder for 2 weeks? Thanks
My doc didn’t allow me to bend over he said stand up straight. I’m getting a revision and I’m nervous, because recovery was tough the first time
My surgeon told me to walk bend over I’m 3 weeks post op just now walking normal 😩 recovery ain’t no joke especially with muscle repair and liposuction
@@Bank5_ I agree I didn’t feel up to working for three months
Omg
How come some doctors recommend fajas after surgery 😮
Because there is no data so it comes down to surgeon preference.
is my dream to have T Tuck with you one day❤
have all of you who have undergone the operation already given birth to children or are there girls who have not given birth yet?
Most of the time patients will have a tummy tuck after they are finished having children, but there are certainly patients who have tummy tucks for other reasons like weight loss or post-menopausal changes that leave patients with extra skin.
