“Amazing Doctor and Staff -...”

My TT was performed on 6/12; I was up and walking around that evening in the hospital. As advised by Dr. Nezami, I experienced swelling in my abdomen and pubic area for about 6 months post-op, dependent on my activity level of the day. I absolutely love the results of my TT!  more

“Six Weeks After - Jacksonville, FL”

At age 61 I decided that I wanted to improve my looks. I am not new to ps. In January of 2012 I had a facelift. This time I had a capsulectomy and tummy tuck. My left implant after 30 years had ruptured. This procedure was extremely easy. The tummy tuck has been a bit more of a challenge. After reading other reviews I realize what a great doctor I had. My scar looks great and is not red at all... more

“10/29/12 - Tummy Tuck, Lipo on Upper...”

I did research for a couple of years and I finally did it! My only concern was how my skin would cope with the garment/binder. I have atopic dermatitis, my skin itches, breaks out and bruises. Keeping my skin happy during recovery was the hardest part with the garment. My bra itself irritates me by lunchtime, imagine trying to wear the garment all day and night. I bought many different fabrics... more

“Mommy Make-over March 2012 - Ponte...”

I had a "mommy make-over" with Dr. Rumsey at PVPS in March 2012. After having 3 kids I wasnt sure if I could ever get my pre-baby body back. I eat good and exercise but stretch marks left my tummy looking wrinkled and even saggy. I was hopeful that I would look good in a bathing suit again and FEEL GOOD when I tried stuff on in the dressing room... I wanted shopping to be fun again, and not... more

“Excellent Results - Jacksonville, FL”

My stomach muscles were pulled so far apart from two babies, that it felt impossible to strengthen them, and I had so much loose skin that was unattractive and uncomfortable.

“Dr. Wallace and His Staff Coastal...”

I am a mom of 3 and am 39 y/o. I was nervous about the surgery but when I met with Dr. Wallace and his staff, my fear was gone. Dr. Wallace performed a TT and also performed a breast revision due to a horrible experience by another PS (not him) years prior. He is without a doubt the best PS in my opinion. My expectations were not the greatest because I didn't want to be "let down" as I had... more

I am a mother of three boys whose body was stretched to the limits during pregnancy. In gaining the weight I also gained too many stretch marks and loose skin.
