I LOVE IT. i did it because i am a very active and fit indiviual except for the excess skin and strech marks i had haning around my belly after having my two children. It was the best thing i ever did for myself

Pros- flat sexy tummy, i have my life back

Cons- more pain than i expected

Help! I am 4 weeks post op . Yesterday i had to pick up my daughter (emergency) from about mid height. shes about 20-25 pounds. i had my binder on and tried to use my legs and back. Several hours later i had a weird pulling sensation in a timy spot on my lower abs. not much pain though and no visible bulge. the next morning my tummy was nice and flat but still have a pulling sensation. Did i pop a sticth or pull muscle, please help!

Great review?

Thanks for sharing your experience. This answer from Dr. Ricardo Rodriquez gives advice on detecting a popped stitch: Did I pop my Tummy Tuck stitch?

The main question page is here.

Hope that helps!
