“Planning a TT a Yr from Now, Very...”

Hi, I'm 31 yo and have 2 healthy children 2 yrs apart. My last pregnancy ended 2 1/2 months ago and my son have left my tummy stretched and flabby. I know it's very early to think about a TT but I've heard you can't shape the extra skin once the elasticity is stretched. I'll work out and save money in the mean time. I've been reading stories on this site and it has given me hope to a flatter... more

“Nervous But Excited...- La Romana,...”

As a teenager I was always big boned, a little chunky. Baby fat everyone would call it. Then when I went to boot camp at the age of 17, I was physically at my peak. I never had such a flat stomach, or muscled thighs. After the birth of my daughter at the age of 20, (and 70 pounds gained and yet to be lost), the weight came back... with a vengeance. When I got pregnant with my son, I was alot... more

“Professional and Considerate Doctor...”

I was very nervous and hesitant to have this procedure done. With age my sagging skin from having children kept reminding me on how unhappy this was for me. My motivation was every summer I was reminded on how much I needed this done. After consulting with Dr. Shahriar Mabourakh I felt very informed and confident to move forward. I had high recommendations by friends and clients of my own and... more

“6 wks. PO / first after pic.”

First of all, I just want to thank all of you beautiful ladies for sharing your amazing stories. This site has been a true godsend to me. I am 38 years old with 3 beautiful boys (18, 13, & 6). All of the damage to my tummy was done with my first born. I was twenty, so I never really got to enjoy my body. I got terrible stretch marks, and needles to say a two piece was never worn again. I... more

“13 Weeks PO-CA”

Here we go. My pregnancy with my last daughter did me in....I started at 135, and 9 months later....ended up leaving the hospital at 238. I somehow managed to gain all that weight while throwing up almost every day during the pregnancy. I really think it was a hormonal thing. My body just gains weight SO quickly! But on the plus side, it seems to loose it fairly quickly. 2 years later, I am... more

“Pleased - Folsom, CA”

Had a tt with lipo in flanks on 12/11/12. Returned to work on 12/24/12. Today is 12/28/12 and my recovery is going well. The roughest was around day 3-7. Currently no pain, just tightness, swelling and numbness. I am walking fully upright but when i sit for a long time, I dont get up to a full upright position right away. Both drains are removed and my scar is healing fine. I wasnt fully... more

Turning 50 this November, seemed time to do something for myself for a change. Three kids, all C-sections with my last born when I was 40. While I do need to loose about 20 pounds, I've got that saggy belly skin that no matter wat I do will not go away. So I've decided to take the surgical route.26 days to go. I'm going to figure out how to post my before photos because I know how amazed I am... more

“Couldn't Be Happier with my Results!...”

I chose to have a full tummy tuck after delivering my 2 beautiful boys. Both of them were very large and I had extensive abdominal damage that could not be altered with diet and exercise. My second was 9+ lbs and broke my tailbone during delivery if that gives you any idea. My abdomen stuck out, I had excess loose skin, weak abdominal muscles with a substantial gap I could actually feel and a... more

“New surgery date June 2013 -...”

I come from a family of heavy set females and so I never been small in size. The smallest I have been is a size 10/12 and that was on my wedding day 32 years ago. However; I have always had large breasts but a smaller back and waist until two C-Sections. My children are 33 and 23 and having birthing them my weight settled between 200 to 220. Then something happened and I shot up to 282 and... more

“Dr. Clark and Dr. Kaufman and Staff...”

I had been having severe back pain ever since my second pregnancy 6 years ago and after a lot of physical therapy it was suggested by my doctor that it was the instability of my hips was causing all the pain and sciatica. My pt kept having to go in and readjust me and I had to wear a brace as well. As we built up my core through kegels and reverse leg lifts off of a roller, it became obvious... more

“Still Recovering, but sure now -...”

I had my extended tummy tuck abouit 3 weeks ago. It has been very rough so far. I'm going through the normal depression phase where I'm wondering if it was worth it. I had a very bad reaction to Norco--which landed me in the E.R. one week after surgery. That was the worst experience of my life. I'm starting to look at my new tummy (9 pounds of skin and fat were removed). It looks completely... more

“TT W/ MR & Lipo(flanks)! Finally!”

It helped me be at ease knowing I wasnt the only one experiencing all the emotions and struggles that come with post op. Before my c-section 3 years ago my stomach was normal looking. However after giving... more

“Full Tummy Tuck, Flank Lipo,...”

First a little about me. I am a 45 year mom of two ages 2 and 4. Yes, I started late. :) Prior to having children I was very active and in great shape. Not so much after. Between not having time to work out and not having energy from the sleepless nights, let's just say my weight and shape wasn't what is used to be. In addition, I recently moved to this area from the bay area and I... more

“Goodbye Tummy - Sacramento, CA”

I am 37 years old happily married mom of two, ages 18 & 8 (both C-sections). I am 5’ 120 lbs. A tummy tuck was not something I ever really considered until I lost over 50 pounds and realized that I have worked too hard to have this pooch as a reminder of my former chubby self. I do cardio 5 days a week and hit the weights 3-4 times a week. I feel I have definitely done my part... more

“Stellar Before and After Care... ...”

I was not happy with my torso after having three children and always felt uncomfortable in shorts or a swim suit. My fiance got me into scuba diving. So I was going to the gym and not seeing any change in my tummy area no matter how much I dieted and worked out. What sent me over the edge was seeing a picture of myself in a 7mm wetsuit from my certification dive trip to Monterey. I wondered... more

Dr. K made good on his promise of bouncing a quarter off my stomach after reverse tummy tuck surgery. I have a flat, tight stomach at age 50 and I am totally thrilled! The procedure was a breeze.

“My Tummy Tuck/Lipo Experience - 200+...”

Ever since Extreme Makeover was first on TV I wanted a tummy tuck and lipsuction on my thighs. I'm 5'3" with an athletic build. Thanks to heredity, I've always had the pooch in front and shelf butt. Between the Freshman 15+ 20 extra and having two babies over the past 15 years, I've bounced between 150 and 225. Before the tummy tuck I weighed in at 208. I knew even if I... more

“Lost 100lb Naturally and Had Excess...”

I lost 100lbs naturally and had excess skin. The tuck fixed that. I'm only a couple weeks in at this point so I don't have much else to say just yet. If I'm able to edit this, perhaps I'll come back in a bit and add more. 2 weeks post op. First impressions? I'm fairly "ok" with everything thus far except my belly button. T more

“Tummy Tuck for Stretch Marks and...”

My experience was overall pretty good. I am happy about looking better in my clothes. I am unhappy that I feel so tight all the time, I can only eat about half of what I used to without feeling completely uncomfortable, and the worst part is the stretch marks that are left are huge, raised and exaggerated because they are swollen. They are more prominent that before. I have three children... more

“Lost 80lb from Diet and Exercise -...”

I got my abdominoplasty and breast lift/ augmentation/ reduction on 7/31/09. It was worth it. A few years ago I lost 80 pounds with diet and exercise but although I was normal weight I still had tons of flab. A muffin top that stuck out farther than my chest. Rolls under my breasts that looked like a extra set. Bulges on my back below my bra strap which I refered to as my "back... more
