Mount Airy Tummy Tuck Doctors and Reviews

“Tummy Tuck/Inner Thigh Lift/Inner &...”

I am only 5 days away from my surgery and I am super excited and so nervous at the same time!!! EKKK LOL I had weight loss surgery (Gastric Sleeve) on December 09, 2009 so I am almost 3 1/2 years out. I was 287lb before surgery and now I'm about 160-165. I got down to 140 and I was way too small I think. I look normal now (with clothes on). I would love to be 150lb :) I finally got the $$... more

“Just Had my TT”

I had my TT Thursday ( 3 days ago) to remove loose skin. I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. With my first child I had no loose skin at all but I gained a whole lot with my 2nd and carried it all in my tummy. It was a hard decision because in clothes my tummy looked pretty flat but naked this skin under my belly button was loose and wrinkly. I have always been fit and knew I would always be... more

“So Happy I Found the Best Dr on the...”

I started off January 2012 at 219lbs and had lost down to 181 when I went for my initial consultation with Dr. Khalifeh. I really didn't think I would actually go through with any procedures but I was fascinated with the laser liposuction and Dr K's patient reviews, there wasn't 1 negative comment. Although it was a 3 hour drive to his office, I knew IF I did it, I only wanted the best because... more

“Not Content - Bethesda, MD”

I had a tummy tuck and lipo by Dr. Richards over a year ago. The office is nice and so is there staff but I am not happy with the results. We had discussed everything that I wanted done and this included abdominal muscle tightening. After my procedure I went in for the follow up and my stomach was really bloated. He said it would go down with time. I asked him of he tightened my muscles and he... more

“Tummy Tuck - Frederick, MD”

So I've wanted a TT for years now. l can't believe it is finally coming true! I have a surgery date, however I'm excited and scared all at the same time. There's times where I think I have completely lost my mind, but when I think of the results I'm so excited. I guess I'm nervous of the unknown. I have watched video's of the procedure so I know exactly what to expect and what will happen. I'm... more

“Looking for the Best - Rockville, MD”

A million thanks to Dr. Michaels. Being a person inclined to skepticism, I really had my doubts. Trusting someone to sculpture a part of me based only on their credentials was really hard and then I met Dr. Michaels – really down to earth, humble with a great sense of humor yet always professional. Dr. Michaels is very detailed – master of his trade! I had a tummy tuck done. After two... more

“You Gotta Want It Bad - Bethesda, MD”

If you look at these before/after photos and recognize yourself in the 'before' shots, you can see why the 'after' shots make this procedure very worth it. I despised myself - dressed well enough, no one else knew what was under the clothes, but I did and finally decided to go ahead with this at 60 years old. Not only did my surgeon remove the excess skin on my lower abdomen, which pulled down... more

“GrammyKaren56 TT,MR, Lipo...any...”

Hi! I'm 56 yrs old, 5'7", 160 lbs. 4 years ago I went through aggressive treatment for breast cancer (lumpectomies, chemo, radiation) which had a major impact on my body (boobs & belly) and confidence. I always had a proportional body before cancer, so I want to get rid of my post-cancer 10-month prego belly and regain my confidence to be nude in front of my husband again. After 4... more

“Desperate for a Tummy Tuck - the...”

I have been wanting a tummy tuck for the past 5 years! I thought it was unrealistic. But the more I tried to lose weight, the less successful I have become, and the more desperate for a TT I have become. Finally, after 2 years of saving, researching and planning, it is really going to happen! Scheduled - finally, 1/22/13 Let me share a little about me: -I have 3 children. 15, 10, 7.... more

“TT/MR/Lipo Flanks - 12 weeks PO (new...”

Wow I've been lurking so long I'm finally taking the plunge to tell my story. I've read so many of your stories on here and they have been so motivational and inspiring. Like many of you, I am a mother of two that not necessarily destroyed my stomach but made it less than appealing! LOL> My daughters are 19 and 16. I am approaching my 40th birthday next month and decided that I absolutely... more

“One Month Post-Op - on the Flat...”

I've been a hardcore lurker, so now I am here to be brave and post pics. Honestly, I don't know how some of you post pics and reviews during week one! I barely remember that week. I stayed on my pain meds and slept A LOT. My eyes couldn't even focus enough to read the TV menu, lol! I started out in June of 2012 and set my surgery date. I interviewed doctors (I recommend researching... more

“I Can FINALLY Get my Body Back -...”

Hi TT Sistas, I am a 40 year old mother of four children (ages 15, 21, 23, and 25). After having my last child, I've had a hard time trying to get rid of my jelly belly and pouch. I have contemplated having a tummy tuck for years, but never had the courage to do it. Well, the time has come.....I'm ready to take my body back and increase my self-esteem. My date is fast approaching...and I'm... more

“My Tummy Tuck - Potomac, MD”

I had my TT 12-10-12 and I'm so happy, but I've not had the nerve to look yet. I'm very excited about what the ladies have written on this forum. I can't wait to see my results!! I will post pictures as soon as I get them from the doctors. I seem to have more pain than the average person. I've been on 2 Vicodin every four hours plus the antibiotics. I call my doctor for the first time tomorrow... more

“Amazing! Stomach Was Damaged After 4...”

The skin on my stomach was seriously damaged due to four pregnancies. The skin was loose and wrinkled. My muscles were damaged, and you could not see my belly button due to the loose skin. I wore loose shirts for many years to hide this. However, after 10 years, a friend suggested that I see Dr. Mess. After my first consultation, Dr. Mess was amazingly friendly. Her confidence and knowledge of... more

“PO 5 Months *Update & Pics*”

I had my first son at 18 and lost my sexy stomach at that point, but it wasn't too bad. My second son clinched it for me though. He was 9 1/2 pounds. I've hidden my stomach since. I just figured this was my cross to bear. As time has gone on, it's become more and more depressing. My belly button resembles a sad face, which is exactly the face i make when i see it. I'm tired of tucking gross... more

“Belly Go Bye-bye - Chevy Chase, MD”

I don't have a date set yet. I do have several consultations coming in the next 2 weeks. I was overwieght before becoming pregnant and after having my son, now 2, I finally got fed up enough to lose weight. In a year I have lost 55lbs. I am toner and leaner but now all i have is belly and it wont go away. I hate having to buy larger shirts and pants just to accommodate my belly. I've done tons... more

“My Tummy Tuck Journey...- Frederick, MD”

I had my tummy tuck in August 2011. The pain was more then I ever could have imagined. But by the sixth week I was feeling like myself again. My stomach was flatter but not the results I wanted. I swelled for months and the swelling caused loose skin again. I also ended up odd shaped. The top of my abdomen was larger then the bottom. So by October the surgeon was discussing a revision.In... more

“Tummy Tuck Part 1: So happy! 8 weeks...”

32 year old mom of 3 here- 4 yrs, 2 yrs and 6 months. I gained about 50 lbs with each pregnancy. I am 5'3" and weigh 145. I still have 15 lbs to lose to reach my pre-preganancy weight.

“Journey to Flat Abs - Chevy Chase, MD”

I am a 41 year old mother of a 4 year old son and during my pregnancy I gained a lot of weight. So much so that I was left with a lot of abdominal loose skin and stretch marks. After years of trying to work out to flatten my stomach, I finally decided to go for a tummy tuck. My initial consult was scheduled for June 4, 2012. I had a lot of my initial questions answered and I left the office... more

“Tummy Tuck Part 1: My journey has...”

Hello Ladies! I have always wanted to have a tummy tuck since giving birth to my now (awesome) 12 year old son. I have decided at 32 that I am not having anymore children and I can finally afford the surgery soooooooooo it's on! LOL! I am 5'9 but I honestly have no idea how much I weigh (I think scales are evil). I am in the military so I work out on a regular basis but no matter how much... more

“Tummy Tuck First....4 Weeks Later I...”

Good Morning Ladies, I started on this site because I was nervous and I wanted to hear from other women.

“Tummy Tuck on 6/1/12 - Lovin' the...”

I'm a 34-year old mom of 2 girls, both born via section. My belly is a travesty to say the least! I'm desperate to have a flat tummy, never had one. I've struggled with my weight most of my life and in the last year or so, I've lost over 60 lbs. Now my tummy is still a mess - hanging bag of fat and skin as I call it. My TT is schedule for 2 weeks from this Friday - only... more

“20 weeks! LOVE my results! (NEW PICS!)”

I am 23 years old and have no children. I gained a significant amount of weight during high school, and probably hit close to 200 lbs (I am 5'4") senior year, but I avoided scales so I really don't know. For the past 6 years I have been yo-yoing, going as high as the high 170s and as low as the high 130s. I FINALLY found something I can stick with - my MAGIC weight loss cure. Actually, it... more

“NEW PICTURES - 7 months Post-op.....”

“Nervous About my Second Consultation...”

This will be my second consult, different doctor. First doctor wanted to charge $10.392. Luckily a friend of mine told me about Dr. Khalifeh. After researching him & seeing his internet special of $7,750. He seems to be a perfectionist & that really eases my nerves. If a doctor is willing to throw in lipo at no cost to you so that YOU look great, thats my kinda doctor.Well my... more

“5 Weeks Postop - Full Tummy Tuck...”

Hello everyone... I guess I should have started this post prior to my TT but I actually stumbled across this site while recovering from my TT (hey, better late than never). I find this site to be very helpful. Well, i've always been in shape but after a car accident and plenty of steroid injections, not being able to exercise and not watching what I ate... is what led me to blow up and get... more

“Never Expected to Get One -...”

I am 40 yrs old with a 22 yr old son and 17 yr old twin daughters. I have been skinny all my life and am a migraine sufferer. I began taking preventative medication and gained a good bit of weight. I lost some of it, only to find my "twin skin" again. I always knew it was there, but didn't really mind it before. I also noticed the top of my stomach getting larger (no weight gain)... more

“Best Decision I Have Ever Made -...”

I have gained and lost so much weight over the years that I had skin and boobs that sagged and could not be fixed with diet and exercise. Dr. Cappuccino assured me that I was the candidate that a tummy tuck and breast lift was designed for...he was right! I have a flatter stomach than I have had EVER...including BEFORE I had kids. more

“Patient, Professional, Trustworthy -...”

All the exercise in the world would not put my belly back to where I wanted it so I decided on a tummy tuck. It's a serious surgery and the first week of recovery was tough. My mother was home with me during that time and I can't imagine getting through that week without her. Everything with my tummy tuck went as expected and I had no complications during recovery.  It has... more

“Chicken "Older" - Chevy Chase, MD”

I am anxious, excited and nervous about having a TT. I am older and my daughter and best friend feel I don't need it, but I want it because I don't like the way my clothes "don't" fit. I also have a vertical c-section scar that looks like a front butt. Sometimes I think I am too old and being too vain to entertain such an idea. And other times I feel like I can't wait... more

“Highly Recommended - Bethesda, MD”

To improve self esteem, quality of life. I was extremely obese as a teenager (my weight topped out at 235 on a 5'2" frame).  I slimmed down in my twenties, making fitness an important part of my life.  At 32, however, no matter how much I exercised, or how much weight I lost (I am now 135) I was cursed with a "skin apron", that is, a loose overhanging flap of... more

“Literally Changed my Life - Mount...”

After three children and three c-sections, combined with weight gain during pregnancy and subsequent weight loss, my tummy was a saggy floppy mess that no amount of exercise could fix. Recovery was difficult but more tHan worth it based on the flat tummy I now have! I can wear clothes now that I couldnt even before having children. Couldn't be happier, and I am anxiously looking... more

“Awake TT: FIVE MONTHS ON THE 24TH”

After losing 57 lbs I was left with a mini apron as my lower abdomen and no shape. I decided to go for a tt so that I can feel sexier and more confident after my weight loss. I'm both nervous and excited. My tt will be done under local anesthesia with a combination of lipo.Well, I started classes today which I know will keep me entertained until my surgery. My class runs from today 8/22 to... more

“Really GOOD - Chevy Chase, MD”

To get my life back, I was tired of looking 6 months pregnant 2 years after I had a baby! Needed it! Overall couldnt ask for a better experience. I had tummy tuck with muscle repair (and hernia repair) with lipo to flanks. more

“Abdominoplasty and Liposuction -...”

I finally have a flat stomach that I was never able to acheive with exercise and diet. Even before having children I never had a flat stomach--it's just not in my genes. I wish I would have done it in my 20's and saved myself years of hating my body and starving myself. more

“The 2 Week Count Down! Can't Wait! -...”

Its the most unusual feeling of being scared but at the same time I can't wait for what I am scared of. I am posting before pictures as this is the first step in me walking in my freedom. Not even my loving and very caring boyfriend has seen me in this light but oO well here goes nothing. (see pictures) On June 24th I will be getting a full tummy tuck with lipo something I have wanted for... more

“Extended TT and Lipo to Flanks and Back”

I am 5 days out from sx and have finally moved over from nervous and conflicted to excited (and still a little nervous, lol)! I think that i am most concerned about recovery. I have heard few "horror" stories, but I am really squemish, and have had some lower back issues since my epidural with my 11 month old. I'm really hoping that I'm not so grossed out that I faint or that my... more
