TUMMY TUCK & THIGH LIFT; 2 DAYS AFTER SURGERY

This is a photograph of how I looked from the left side three days after undergoing Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Plastic Surgery with Lateral Thigh Lift to remove excess sagging skin from my midsection (150 lb. weight loss). The compression garment was removed for the photograph. Note the swelling, bruising, stitches and belly button. Also, the surgical drains are squeezed to make a suction for the drain fluid.

Background: I am a 54 year old man who is 5' - 7 1/2" tall and had attained a weight of over 300 pounds. Over 2 years of dieting and daily exercise I reduced my weight to 155lbs (lost over 150 pound weight loss). This left me with a lot of excess skin around my belly and midsection. Since I didn't want to live with this for the rest of my life (See my "Before" Pictures), I decided to look into a Tummy Tuck operation.
