“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

“Almost 1 mo post- Why "no" lipo???”

I have 2 children....one is 5 and my youngest is 3. I told my husband, "It is either I get another kid or I am getting my tummy tuck!" His response, "Kids are more expensive!"

“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

“FULL TT/LIPO Hinsdale,IL (burbs)...”

After my second Child in 2000, I knew that I would dream of this Precedure. Especially looking as if I carried tripletts the entire time that I was pregnant.

Being pregnant four times and having twins, my abdomen just never went back to normal. I contemplated it for many years and finally after doing my research and finding a great doctor, I've never looked better. I've always been thin but the abdomen just didn't fit my body.
