“Got my Body Back After 4 Kids......”
Just wanted to share the before and after from my tummy tuck in June 2012. I'm several months post op and feeling great. Since my surgery I've run 3 5ks and now I'm training for a half marathon. I was never a runner before my surgery, and now i LOVE running in a sports bra and shorty shorts, seeing my skinny shadow as I jog thru the neighborhood :). I'm about 5'5", 130 lbs and I was 150 lbs on... more
“Great Skill and Aftercare -...”
I'd lost a lot of weight, and had enough loose skin to throw me off balance. When I moved fast and stopped, it kept going. I could hoola hoop inside my own skin. Best thing I've ever done for myself besides losing the weight was choosing Dr P to do this procedure. He found that my belly muscles--the ones that are supposed to part and go back together after you've had a baby--were not... more
“Beautiful Work, Nice People - San...”
Dr. Fan did an absolutely amazing job. I look at my body now and it far exceeds what I expected to find. I thought I'd just get my "overhang" removed, but instead I have the abs that I never thought possible. As an obsese child, I got used to not being allowed into the "normal people's club". No boy ever had a crush on me. No one asked me to the prom. I learned to keep my feelings to... more
“Photos Added! TT and MR - Oakland, CA”
Wow, I cant believe I'm writing this after having read so many of your wonderful and inspiring reviews! I am almost 42 yrs old mother of 4. I am 5'1" and weigh 135lbs. I have never had a flat stomach and always been a little overweight. I gained a lot of additional weight with each of my pregnancies, and although I have lost a great deal of it by dieting and working with a trainer and a... more
“Best Decision I've Ever Made! -...”
I'm 25 years old and have lost 130 pounds over the past 8 years, the bulk of which was lost quickly during the first year. In turn leaving my stomach with a lot of extra skin. He recommended a full tummy tuck but not tightening my muscles ( they were already tight from working out ) with the addition of flank liposuction to really show off my waist line. The procedure went flawless! My... more
“20 days PO getting better. New...”
Well, I'm 39, 5'6" and have never had body issues. But then I started poppin' out dem babies and "poof" the body that I thought I would have forever was gone. I'm so nervous and scared - the big day is TOMORROW! I've been in a literal haze since I decided to get a TT. Everything has moved super fast for me. I had my fourth child last year and I just got tired of people asking me if I was... more

“I Am So Glad I Did It! San Rafael, CA”
I am 3 weeks post op and I am so excited to have done this. I had two big babies, but aside from that I also had 2 emergency bowel obstruction surgeries within 2 weeks of each other and the surgeons left my tummy looking like frankenstien, I had a permanent muffin top with out even wearing pants. Really yucky. So after waiting 2 years I finally did it and I am so happy. So after 3 weeks I am... more
“Taking It One Day at a Time. 7 Weeks...”
I had my TT on April 30th 2012. My Doctor was very awesome and I'm very satisfied with my results. Never felt any real pain. Sleeping was a little uncomfortable,wish I had got a recliner like most of the other ladies. However I'm still have swelling and some fluids on my stomach. My Doc informed me that it could take anywhere from 6 to 9 months for full results. I'm kind of scard to get back... more
I am 34, the mother of 3 children ages 6, 4, and 2. All delivered via c-section. I am 5'2 and my weight fluctuates between 120 and 125, which isn't bad!!! However, after those babies my weight shifted to various parts of my body. The most disturbing area was my stomach. I still looked pregnant. I had to buy clothes to camouflage my stomach. My oldest child always asked if I had... more
“16 Years Post Tummy Tuck What to...”
I had a tummy tuck in 1995 - he did a good job with the cut and muscles he "tied together" but the navel he created was too large and I was never happy with that - it is about the size of a quarter with darkening all around it from the scars. I know now that when you have liposuction it will appear in another area. It did - the pubic area which is a VERY large fat pad now - it looks... more
“Tummy Tuck for Sagging Abdominal Area”
Mild pain, it was a while before i could have any feeling in my abdominal area. i had this procedure done ,due to sagging skin in my abdomonal areaWould there be severe complications after having two tummy tucks? Can I even go through a normal pregnancy? more
I had a full tummy tuck with liposution to my flanks on March 12, 2009. I have no regrets and am looking forward to my new fully recovered body. I have been contemplating this procedure for a while and am very happy with my surgeon and his staff. I was tired of having all the extra skin in my stomach area and it seemed to only be getting worse with age even though I work out regularly and eat... more
“My Tummy Tuck, No Regrets, Glad I...”
Pros: Youthful abdomen, feel restored, beautiful incision, proportionate, one day of pain, forced-to-relax Cons or better worded strong advice: Need to do your research, try to be healthy, not for everyone, need to follow physicians instructions, you must take it easy and not do anything strenuous I am 50 years old. I have 3 children, with one child having been born close to my 40's. ... more
I loved the results but it was the most trying thing I have ever been through. It took me 6 to 8 weeks to stand up straight and I was out of commision for a long time. Luckily I don't work because there is no way I could have gone back to work after two weeks. Also, the scar is horrible and takes a long time to fade. However, I do believe that the benefits outweight the costs. I can't say I'd... more
