100% of Lakewood reviewers said Tummy Tuck was worth it
“Never Thought This Would Happen -...”
I'm a mom of three kiddos, two were c-sections. My stomach has taken a serious beating. I've jokingly spoken for years about getting a tummy tuck, but never thought I'd actually do it. I am a Christian, so I openly struggle with the vanity issue of spending money to do this. My husband was the one who suggested it. Not because he was repulsed by me, not that he'd ever have the guts to say that... more

“Tummy Tuck with Thigh and Hip...”
I'm a single mom to an 18 month-old. My stomach muscles never recovered from pregnancy. I'm constantly asked when my next little one is due, and I find it very embarrassing. I look about 5 months pregnant. I went over the summer for a consult with a plastic surgeon who did a breast reduction for my sister several years ago. She said yes, she could make me look not pregnant and also recommended... more
“Amazing Results, Best Experience...”
I had triplets and was not impressed at how my body bounced back after the pregnancy even with exercise still had the "triplet tummy". I had a friend who highly recommended Dr. Squires. He and his staff were amazing through the consultation, through surgery, and through the healing process. I am three months out from the surgery and couldn't be happier with the results. more

“From the Time You Walk in the Door...”
I was working out and doing sit ups and nothing was working. My diet was great too. I was getting depressed about it also. I remember I saved this web site from the summer www.ColoradoPlasticSurgery.com. I reviewed it and thought why not? Let's go for it.I had the help and encouragment from my boyfriend and mother. I had a set of twin boys years ago and they weighed 5 lbs 4 oz. and 5 lbs 9... more
I had my TT one week ago and I must say it gets better everyday! I was so anxious before surgery that I hadn't slept for days and I was a delirious wreck on the day of surgery:) The first couple days were really bad but now I'm feeling back to myself and ready to get out of the house, I think I'll go grocery shopping tomorrow. Im going to try to post some pix but I took them on... more
“10 wks po. Fat tummy no more! TT &...”
Well I was excited this morning and now in tears. I thought the roller coaster happened afterwards? I'm so excited to have a flat tummy but I look at photos and find more I don't like than I do do now I'm wondering if this will be worth it or if my expectations are out of wack. I have been exercising for the last 2 years doing crossfit and have lost and kept off 40 pounds but... more
“Literally Jumping out of my Twin...”
I have gained a lot of knowledge from reading everyone's TT stories. If my story can help just 1 goddess than I am happy to have shared. My TT adventure began when I was just 22 and pregnant with twins. My husband and I were so young and in college. The twin's pregnancy resulted in my 5'9' frame having a 4 foot circumference. YES! I was 48 inches around. Gratefully the twins... more
“Holy Cow Am I Nervous - Denver, CO”
I had two children in less than 3 years. I was later in life when I finally decided to have kiddos, and I think it took its toll! I've always been healthy, but for some reason my stomach muscles ripped down the center with my first pregnancy and never went back... So here I go - onto a little lipo and squishing down those muscles again to pre baby. I never, ever thought I would get any... more
“New pics! I am very glad I did...”
I have 3 beautiful children, but they did a number on my tummy. I gained 60 pounds with each of them, and was already overweight when I got pregnant with each. So, I have been up and down the scale about 85 pounds. I am finally at a normal BMI and the only thing to stick around through my weight loss is my ugly, fat tummy. I have been this weight before, but my tummy NEVER looked this bad at... more
“FINALLY...the new ME! FEELING...”
Im so exicted I could just scream...and I did alot in my car on the way to work when I made my appt for my TT/lipo. Its in 26 days and counting! Anyone have any words of encouragement. Good experiences? I dont think I can read any more horrible experiences at this point. SO i know this is a stupid question...but how do you pee with the garment on...you have to take it on and off... more
“Finally; Jeans and I Can Renew Our...”
Had my first daughter at 20. Second daughter at 21. Third daughter at 29 and Fourth daughter at 31. All four were c-sections. I didn't really get stretch marks but my stomach has refused to go back into the upright sucked in position. I was originally going to get the TT Lipo and Lift. But mothers guilt took over and now I am just getting the TT. The doctor that I choose does not use... more
Hello! This board was so helpful for me as I led up to my surgery. Went in yesterday morning, and it went quickly and well. I snuck a little peak last night and am so excited to see the differences. I do have a question...they gave me percocet and Valium. I' taken the percocet every four hours, and the valid twice,but there is still a lot of pain. it's really bad when I get up, my... more
For those of you with up comming surgery, I thought it'd be helpful to read a real experience: Day of surgery I'm THIRSTY! and so very tired (my own fault, I voluntarily stayed up too late ;))and nervous. A little. Just about the IV line, really. I've done so much research Im not at all afraid of the proceedure. After being prepped by the nurses, drawn on by the Dr., I am given... more

“TT 6 Days Ago. Can't Tell if I've...”
I cant tell if I have torn my internal sutures. I had a TT 6 days ago.I have been taking many laxatives, stool softners and enemas in the last few days in order to have a bowel movement. I finally had one and my abdomen was having uncontrollable contractions at the time, about 9 all together, that were VERY painful. I was wearing a very tight gurdle and pressing firmly on my abdomen in... more
I had a mini-abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) about 10 years ago. Definitely worth it. Tummy is flat and most of stretch marks are gone. Scar is below even low cut jeans/bikini. My only complaint is there is 2 small flaps of skin on the left and right side of my scar that hang over slightly. The surgeon told me this was a possibility. They don't show under clothing and are very minor. more
