“Finally Did It - Cleveland, OH”

Well I've never really been a big person but during my first pregnancy 11 years ago I went from 150 to 190 and I'm 5'6. Now a year prior to my pregnancy I had gained at least 25 lbs so all that weight gained was havoc on my body. I dropped the pregnancy weight I would say within a year and half but my stomach was ruined. Well 10 years later after getting married I said hey let's do it all over... more

I had a tummy tuck done almost 6 weeks ago by Dr. Green. He also did a breast reduction as well about a year and a half ago. My tummy tuck surgery was amazing and I love the results.

The first 24 hrs were tough, but i got my drains out the next day and by Monday, I was getting out... more

“Better Results Than Expexted, Tummy...”

At 5'9" and 128 lbs, people would never guess I needed a tummy tuck. As I'm sure many of you can relate, after my 2 beautiful, and big babies at 9 lbs 10 oz, my stomach muscles and skin paid the price. I had an umbilical hernia repaired 2 years ago that came back due to the separating of my abdominal muscles. I have ab muscles, but they we're covered by loose skin that I... more

I also had so much fluid in my belly with him that he couldn't drop - the doctor said he literally floated up when they... more

I am soon to be 50 and this is my present to myself after having 4 children, putting two of them (so far) through college and paying for one wedding.

“Tummy Tuck at Age 59, Definitely...”

After 3 pregnancies (last baby 10 lbs), 2 C sections, and a hysterectomy I had a tummy that would not go away.
