“5 Years After and So Happy I Did It...”

I had my tummy tuck 5 years ago and even though it was a slow puffy recovery I would highly recommend it to women when you are done having kids and want to get back your girlish figure. Did wonders for my self confidence and I loved how I could wear so many clothes that were " off limits" before. I didnt have the over tightening that some people experience and my only surprise was the length... more

“3 month post op, feeling great -...”

I had a tummy tuck with lipo (panniculectomy) took off about 25 pounds. I feel great now, I can move and walk better. My clothes fit and look better. I had one little set back, I ended up with an infection on Thanksgiving spent 3 days in the hospital. Had to open my incision up and pack it with guaze. It has heeled now after 3 months. This was the best decision I have made for myself. Now... more

“He Has Changed my Life. He Can...”

I would highly recommend Dr. Zemmel if you are considering any type of plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery. Let me explain why: I interviewed numerous doctors in the Richmond area regarding my procedure. Only Dr. Zemmel made me feel welcome and comfortable. His staff is amazing! Becky, at the front desk is friendly, organized and always efficiently helpful! Emily, his Physician Assistant... more

“12 Weeks Post Op, and doing SOME P90X”

I am a 36 year old mother of one who is very petite. I considered myself very fit before my son, at just shy of 5'0" height I kept a healthy body weight of 95 lbs and exercised regularly and still do. I have a history of type ii diabetes in my family however and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes very late in my pregnancy (i was 29 at the time), but my diagnosis was really too late. I was... more

“Two Surgeries-going for Third -...”

It was a tough surgery, but life changing in a great way. I had lost over 110 pounds and the hanging skin was horrible. Now I have a flat stomach and it's been 3 years. Dr. Lynam did a great job. Recovery takes some time. It's similar to having a hysterectomy but not quite as bad in my case since my hyst. was straight down my stomach. It also made that scar disappear since he pulled the skin... more

Lost all of the weight after 2 years but the skin never went away and actually would look worse the... more
