How many sizes dropped after body lift?
Hi,
I am 4 weeks post op from tummy tuck/lipo on sides and muscle repair.
I was wearing size 8 in womens pants before surgery, I could also wear some 10s.
About 2.5 weeks after surgery, most of the swelling was gone, in my hip area and I can comfortably fit size 4 in womens and womens petite--they fit me very well. I can wear size 7 in juniors, the juniors fit my short waist really well but I dont like the styles as much-too "hip hop" for my taste.
I have noticed the most difference in my shirts. Before, I was wearing a large shirt but now I can wear a small in womens and juniors. I went the other day and bought a halloween t-shirt and was able to fit the XL 14/16 in GIRLS. I could have worn the Large GIRLS shirt too, my top is extremely small now that I dont have to compensate for that stomach and spare tire around the middle.
Of course, the size 4 in pants have to be with a belt too, if it werent for my hips/thighs, I could probably wear a size 2 in womens. I also bought a suede jacket in size Small too.
I am very pleased, and still swollen according to my surgeon. He says that I will probably lose another inch or 2 off of my waist once the swelling is gone--I am measuring at a 31 inch waist 2 weeks ago.
