Port Orchard Tummy Tuck Doctors and Reviews

“Tummy tuck w/Lipo to LoveHandles:...”

I have the most incredibly beautiful children in the whole world. It would be worth having them, and losing my body and shape, even if I wasn't able to have this surgery. :o) But I am REALLY excited that I DO get to have a tummy tuck, and liposuction to my flanks. I have an incredibly supportive husband... thank you God! My 2nd baby, was 10.5 lbs, and I'm 5'6' 140. Needless to say, it... more

“My Dream Body 6 weeks post op”

I have wanted a flat stomach forever and a day -- I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Rigorous work-outs, rediculous diets. Nothing has affected my self esteem more. I don't like for men to touch my stomach (which causes me to be very self concious during sex), I have to walk around sucking it in, I wear loose T-shirts to hide it and you will NEVER see me in any skimpy tops like a bikini... more

“Dr. Haeck Changed My Life - Seattle, WA”

Many times a doctor will have good bedside manners, but sub-par talent or they will offer impeccable skills but terrible doctor/patient relations. I am here to tell you that Dr. Haeck is the full package. He is the definition of what a doctor and surgeon should be. He is talented, caring, devoted and a life-changer. I am forever obliged to him for helping me in the journey to change my life... more

“Arm Lift & Tummy Tuck--Fantastic...”

It has been five months since my surgery and I still feel that Dr. Cooper and his team did a fantastic job. I am thrilled with the results of my surgery and my only regret is that I didn’t have the tummy tuck and arm lift earlier. I am still far from feeling like I have a “perfect body” (who does?) but now am not mortified of my belly or frustrated by clothes not fitting correctly... more

“Exceeded my Expectations - Seattle, WA”

I turned 50 last year and genetics were kicking in, no matter how hard I worked out. I had a friend who recommended that I see Dr. Egrari for a consultation to discuss my issues. After looking at his "before" and "after" photos and having the discussion with him, I decided to go for it. We decide that I would have the best results if I did a full-abdominalplasty with lip suction on my back and... more

“Scared...Will It Work? - Seattle, WA”

I'm nervous about getting a tummy tuck. I feel like I should have tried harder to lose weight, or that I should get lipo instead. Yipes! And what if I gain the weight back? How can I know if i'm choosing the right procedure? How much weight SHOULD i lose before I go for it for real? And what will I look like if I gain 20 lbs next year? more

“Two weeks post op-new pictures -...”

I have had three children (all vaginally) and have been thinking about a tummy tuck ever since my second child was born. I wasn't sure if I was done having kids though so I waited and now my third (and last) child is almost three so it is time! I went to my pre-op visit last week, they basically just went through any questions that I had and drew blood. At the time I didn't have that many... more

“7 Weeks PO, New Pictures, TT, MR,...”

I am 47 years old and this June will celebrate our kids 20th and 24th birthdays as well as our 27th wedding anniversary. A few months ago, I visited a PS about lipo for my muffin top and was told that my skin was too damaged from pregnancies and that a TT was my best option. My husband was very supportive and said life is too short, go for it. So I am. I am 5' 8 1/2" and weigh 170lbs.... more

“Mommy Makeover - Seattle, WA”

I didn't like the way my stomach looked after giving birth. I just wanted to add the reason for my decision to have the tummy tuck, because no matter how much I exercised my stomach would have never of been the same. I love how Dr. Peters tightened my muscles and made my stomach look like I was 20 again. She was very conscious about making sure the incision was very low, so... more

“WOW! It Was So Easy and the Results...”

I couldn't wear the clothes I wanted to without having a bulge in the tummy area. I wanted my outside to look as fit as I felt inside. I came to see Dr. Salemy because after working out and getting to my ideal weight I still had a lot of loose skin around my middle from two pregnancies in my mid and late 30's.  My breasts were always small but after the pregnancies they got... more

“It's Time! - Seattle, WA”

I am a 42 year old woman, married with two kids. I wish I could blame my belly on having children but I have had this belly as long as I can remember. As far as I can tell, having children just deflated it and now it's lumpy and hangs down. I've tried everything to try to get rid of it, tighten it, conceal it. Nothing works. When I run fanatically, it gets smaller but it never really... more

“Change is Coming - Puyallup, WA”

Growing up I was always overweight. When I was 20 I decided to lose the weight and get healthy. It took me about 2 years to drop 140lbs through working out and changing the way I see food.

I hated having a flabby, scarred stomach from several abdominal surgeries in the 1970's. Now I have a tight, flat stomach, a new belly button and a waistline. I am so happy I had this done - I just waited too long. If this is a surgery you want to have, do not hesitate or delay seeing the magic Dr. G can work for you. more

“I Can Wear a Bikini Again, with...”

After 3 children/pregnancies, I had developed an umbilical hernia and separated abs. My stomach was lumpy and bumpy, and my skin was stretched out from the pregnancies. I needed to have the hernia repaired, I wanted to be able to wear a bathing suit with confidence, and also repair the separated abs to gain more support for my lower back. All my goals were accomplished. more

“Awesome Results 2 Months Post-Op -...”

When I went for the Pre-Op evaluation I had no idea what to expect. Dr. G and his staff were so friendly and informative and made me feel at ease with the decision to proceed with a full tummy tuck. I must have called them a dozen times the month before my scheduled surgery for a million questions and they were always so cheerful and happy to help. I am now 2 months post-Op and can't... more

“Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Breast...”

I was increasing walking and training for a 1/2 marathon in Seattle, my first marathon ever, The Inaugural Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon. I had my 5 children raised and thought it was a good time to have the extra skin on my abdomen removed and to have the breasts I had nursed my babies with lifted. I am, on a very tall day, 5'2", was wearing size 18 pants when I started, and now... more

“Thrilled with my Results! - Seattle, WA”

All Pros no Cons more

“Best Decision Ever!”

The decision to have a tummy tuck was for me. I want to look in the mirror and see the person I feel like I am inside. I am athletic but the loose skin and excess belly & back fat did not reflect my very active lifestyle. After only 3 weeks post surgery I already feel like my reflection shows who I am inside. 10 Post-op tips from my personal experience: more

“Highly Recommended! - Seattle, WA”

Excessive loss of muscle tone, loose skin after pregnancy. Wanted to fit into my skinny jeans without a "pooch" hanging out. more

“Tummy Tuck - Great Results -...”

After living with a saggy belly (thanks to 2 beautifully large babies) for 10 years, I finally realized it was time to get things fixed. While the recovery is no walk in the park, I would do it over again in a heartbeat. I love the results. If possible, my belly (and the button) looks even better than it did before kids.   more

“Scary but Worth It - Seattle”

I decided to go ahead with the tummy tuck I always wanted. I am 31 years old with one 9 yr. old son and after 9 years I have lost most of the weight (baby wieght) but am unable to get rid of the pouch and extra skin left. I work and workout at least five days a week. I do cardio, dancing and weights but couldn't get rid of that extra pounds. After nine years it's no longer baby weight. more

“My Tummy Tuck Expierience, April...”

Pros: -No more loose skin on stomach -The abs I worked very hard for show -No more skin irritation, rashes, yeast, etc at waist line -I can buy pants that fit my waist and not have to shuffle heaps of skin around. Cons: -Excruciatingly painful recovery. NOTHING prepares you for the pain you feel unless you have a C-section (which I never have). I had natural childbirth and I'd say the tuck... more

After two kids (now 21 and 16), my stomach had a lot of loose skin at the bottom and my belly button flopped over at the top from a hernia. After years of wanting to do this and much research on this site and lots more research to find a good doctor, I decided to go forward with the surgery. Best thing I ever did!

I had lipo of hips and pubic mound with tummy tuck and muscle repair. It looked really flat the first 2 weeks, then the upper part of belly sort of popped out like before although the lower was still flat. The pain is INSANE. I cant believe how bad it was even with the pain pump. the pain was about 2.5 weeks, before it let up a little. 7 months later, I still have so much swelling I look... more

“Love the Results”

I had a complete adominoplasty last Jan 07 after a 200 pound weight loss. The results are amazing. even after this last year I continue to work out regularly and continue to lose inches around my middle. Choose your doctor carefully and be prepared for a lot of pain for the first two weeks, but the results will delight you. more

“Still Unsure”

I got a tummytuck and a breast lift done (lollypop), last July. The breasts no problem. Probably because the pain of the tuck over shadered it. They told me they were going to do some lipo for free. So of coarse I said absolutely do it. The lipo was done on my sides. Well I woke up with my lower regine shaved. A few days later it was really puffy and I didnt' know why. Then I couldn't wear... more
