“Tummy Tuck Well Worth It! Whole New Me!”

Pros: A sleek shapely mid-section that can make any outfit a compliment. The other obvious; no huge smelly pannus to make you cringe every time the wind blows your clothes against your body. The skill and care of the doctor was incomparable.Cons: Mine was done differently (vertically, by choice) due to previous surgery, so the recovery was a bit harder. Drains are a necessary bummer.   more
