“3 weeks post op today!!!”

Hi ladies, I'm getting a TT with lipo and MR on march 28th and I'm so excited! I'm a single mom of 1 incredible 7 year old boy. I had him vaginally but I a gained so much weight with him! I'm 5" so all my weight usually goes to my belly and booty! My highest weight has been 192lbs. I did lose a lot of weight and went down to 130 but the belly never changes! Then I got the Mirana IUD and... more

“Fat 2 Flat in in 20 Days! -Hoffman...”

Hello ladies!!! I'm finally doing it, I'm getting rid of this awful pot belly! I've never had a flat belly so I'm so excited and somewhat scared. I don't like pain but pain is what I'm willing to go through! I just want to wear my clothes and not worry that someone's gonna ask me when my baby is due anymore! I have just have 1 child and had a vaginal delivery and don't plan on having anymore... more

“Hopefully Going from Fat to Flat in...”

Hello ladies!! I've decided to finally have a TT with lipo on my flanks. I've struggled with my weight almost my entire life after having my son my stomach never went down... it's so gross I can't even bare looking at myself. I get asked when I'm due all the time! I'm 5'1 and 170lbs so my main concern is if I should weight and try to lose more weight but that seems unrealistic since the tummy... more

“Surgery delayed 2nd to ski accident!”

Oddly, when I was younger, I thought that people who had plastic surgery were crazy and insecure. What a few years bring, no? I am 5'3" and average ~150 lbs. Five years ago I was 200 lbs, and in the Philippines for a wedding with lost luggage. I was forced to go shopping for clothes in a land where nothing fit me. It was a rude awakening...shopping in the men's store for pants that would... more

“Four months! - Arlington Heights, IL”

In the past year I have lost over 50lbs and actually hit my 100lb weight loss mark. I am ready to have a flat tummy. Haven't had one since high school. I've wanted this for so long and have worked so hard to get to this point. I'm looking forward to being a smaller size, seeing past my belly when I look down(though I'm getting breast implants too, so that probably won't happen!), and... more

“Tummy Tuck Aug. 3, and I Am So...”

I have my post op appointment next week. I have always thought about it but never thought I would do it. After four kids and alot of other stuff the most I have weighed is 250 lbs, I have been able to get down to 180lbs. The moment I started to go into size 18 and 20, plus I started to feel embarrassed to eat in public I realized it was time to do something now. So after three years I was able... more

“Horrible Experience - Des Plaines, IL”

I wanted to get the excess abdominal skin as a result of my pregnancies. If I had known the outcome would be so poor, I would have never undergone this surgery with Peter Johnson. He left me not only with excess abdominal skin but also an unsightly raised scar that left me feeling even worse than before the surgery. I needed to undergo scar and tummy tuck revision with another surgeon! But... more

“Tummy Tuck on 2/16/12 - Kenosha, WI”

I have three wonderful children and with them came these wonderful stretch marks and loose skin. The Children keep getting better and my stomach keeps getting worse. So finally, after much encouragement from my husband, I thought, why not. Too new to list pros and cons yet. 7 days PO. Had my 2nd drain removed. Didn't feel a thing. I'm still swollen and very tight. I... more

“What About the Leftovers? -...”

I had my tummy tuck and breast lift on December 16th. I am 33 years old and lost 80lbs 6 years ago. It was at that time that I had a breast reduction which prompted the weight loss. 80lbs light I was left with a lot of loose skin on my belly and breasts that looked like shriveled raisins. The decision to have the surgery was not an easy one and even up to the day of the surgery I was... more

“Dr. P the Greatest Plastic Surgeon...”

I have had 2 babies as well as a lot of weight gain and loss over the years. I decided in 2008 that I was going to take a serious stance on fitness and by eating right and working out I lost 100 pounds and did my first figure competition in April of 2010. The only thing that I was really self concious about was my mid section. I had loose skin and areas that no matter how much I'd diet and... more

“5 Kids in 4 Years - Couldn't Be Happier!”

I am 3 weeks post surgery. Had my tummy tuck on 3/8/2010. I had 5 kids in 4 years, including triplets so my stomach was way out of whack. I lost about 25 lbs before going for my tummy tuck.

“Took the Plunge at Age 44 - Love my...”

After years of thinking about a TT, I decided to take take the plunge at age 44. My history is not unique -- my children were both almost 10 pounds when they were born and my skin had stretched as a result. Every time I looked in the mirror or wore a bathing suit, I was unhappy with the way my skin sagged.I only interviewed one doctor because I was utterly impressed with the one I was... more
