“Best Decision I've Made in Years -...”

To achieve self-esteem about my body. At 10 weeks post-op from a full abdominoplasty, and repair to pregnancy-induced diastasis recti and umbilical hernia, I am fully confident that I made the right choice. Since this procedure was almost 100% out-of-pocket, it was not a decision to be made lightly.  Even in this early stage, I am already the happiest and healthiest version of me... more

“Attention to Detail! - Boston, MA”

I had lost a moderate amount of weight and my stomach still stuck out and I had a muffin top! Dr Darrow performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with a small amount of liposuction. I am an operating room nurse and I have seen a lot of these surgeries performed and I can honestly say that Dr Darrow is the only doctor I would go to for this surgery. First, he does this surgery so often that... more

“Hernia Repair with Tummy Tuck -...”

I needed an umbilical hernia repair and have always hated my large abdomen, especially after 3 c-sections, so decided to have a TT with hernia repair. The cost would have been $10,700, but insurance covered fees related to hernia, including one overnight in the hospital. Thank goodness for that! I never would have been able to make it home. If staying over is an option for you, I highly... more
