“Recovery”

I am Mom 3 kids~2 are grown and on their own, the baby almost a teenager now :o) I have wanted this for years, I went for a consultation to another surgeon a few years ago and just was not comfortable through the visit, so I just dropped it for a while. It's been a few years since then and started to revisit the possibility of following through but just didn't want to go through the pain of... more

I've had two c-sections 10 years apart and lost 71 lbs after the last c-section. I am having a breast lift & tummy tuck. Because of my height I opted to lift my breasts instead of putting implants in. I still have a good amount of breast tissue mixed in with all that sag ;) Currently I am in a size 4 pants.I'm two days out & starting to feel very overwhelmed by this whole process. I... more

“Phew...8 weeks post op - Portland, OR”

I am a 49 year old woman, I am 5'9" and weigh 225. I have two children who are now 26 and 24. I was a chubby kid and always felt "different". I was athletic as a teen and that kept my weight at bay. While pregnant I gained 80 pounds...yikes! Depression, low thyroid function and unhealthy food choices contributed to my highest weight of 303 pounds. Through exercise 5 days a... more

“4 weeks PO. TT, MR, Lipo May 8th -...”

I am 54 and I've been married 30 years, 3 adult children and 1 grandchild. I am 5'7, 150 lbs. I am very slim everywhere except my belly, I had all my kids naturally and considering I gained 50lbs with 2 of them I did not get stretch marks. My stomach wasn't as flat as before kids but I was able to wear bikinis until into my 40's my stomach kept getting bigger. I have had... more

“Tummy Tuck - Vancouver, WA”

This experience is a long recovery, but one of the best decisions I've ever made! I'm a regular size girl (5'2 and 150) and had an apron of tummy skin that hung down over my mons (which was also fatty and hanging). I had previously been 60 lbs heavier, had 2 babies, and a splenectomy that left a scar across my abdomen. All of this equaled a large amount of skin and fat hanging. It... more

“Tummy Tuck, No Lipo - Portland, OR”

This is something I have wanted to do for the last 4 years after I had my second and last child. Once I had the money to do it I went back and forth on if I was being selfish and vain. I then decided that it is something that really effects my life and would make me feel so much better about myself. My boyfriend didn't want me to do it and the few people I told said they didn't... more

“10 Months Post Op”

I am in tip-top shape, yet need a muscle repair and a tummy tuck to get rid of the extra skin on my belly. I keep vacillating about going through with it due to an autoimmune illness I have, which can be impacted by antibiotics. Other than that, additional concerns include the amount of money it costs and my feeling vain and selfish for spending the money. Albeit as mentioned above, my health... more

“My Plastic Surgeon I Trusted the...”

After having two children, I have loose skin around my tummy area and back area. Despite doing routine exercises and running, I cannot tighten my stomach core and continues to have loose skin more

“5 Months Post Op! New Pics!”

I am scheduled for my tummy tuck in 11 days! I've been contemplating this for about 4 years. I've actually had it scheduled once before but chickened out. Since then I've lost about 40 lbs. I have one child, 18 years old. My stomach has not been the same since I got pregnant. I long for a belly button again! I will take and post some before pics...can you say humiliating! I have... more

“Tummy Tuck/Breast Aug - Portland, OR”

38 year old mother of two boys, ages 18 and 16. I have wanted to get this done for a while now (about 10 years). I would love to blame the condition of my tummy on my pregnancies with my boys but I was pretty lucky and had little to no stretch marks (depending on the light)and bounced back pretty fast after giving birth. However the death of my Mother was a little harder on me and I gained... more

Yikes! At this time, 3 months from today, I will have my new tummy! I wonder if the butterflies will be gone as well as my mommy tummy?? Can't thank all you ladies enough for sharing your experiences. It's making this alot less frightening! OMG!!! I have an associate at the clinic where I work who, as it turns out, had a breast reduction on May 2nd. She went to the same... more

“100% Worth Every Penny. I Would Do...”

I had a TT and lipo of the sides, flank and back in April. I will not lie; I felt like I was hit by a truck for about 10 days. Each day got a little better. Today is day 46 after surgery and I am still a slight bit sore but doing fabulous. I look like a whole new person. I did not tell anyone at work; they all think I took a vacation and came back 15 lbs lighter :) My surgeon was wonderful,... more

“Full Tummy Tuck with a "Belly...”

Eight weeks ago, I had a full tummy tuck with a "belly button" hernia repair and a a small groin hernia repair. With the tummy tuck, the doctor also repaired my abdomen muscles as they were separated during the birth of my children. I can now sit and stand upright. However, after sitting for long periods of time I have the tendency to hunch over. Anytime I wear b more
