40 Year Old Mother of 2 - Beverly Hills, CA

After 15 years of hating my stomach I was finally able to take time off and afford my much needed tummy tuck. After consultations with several plastic surgeons I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Moelleken who finally gave me hope that I could once again have a flat stomach and remove many stretch marks. Two prior plastic surgeons told me I would not be happy with a tummy tuck because I did not have enough skin laxity to get rid of my stretch marks. Another plastic surgeon told me he would only do it if I gained 40-50 lbs and lost it to create enough skin for the surgery. Many people assume that you have to be overweight or have significant excess skin for tummy tuck to be successful. There seems to be little information out there for fit moms who have muscle damage from childbirth. I did not realize before meeting Dr. Moelleken that a tummy tuck was possible with low scar placement and muscle repair.

Dr. Moelleken and his team are amazing. They are all so kind, patient and very responsive. The anesthesiologist called me the night before my surgery to discuss the process and go over my medical history. The morning of my surgery everything went smoothly and I was driven to Serenity Aftercare for my first day/night of recovery. I was seen by Dr. Moelleken post surgery three times that week. Since my surgery I have seen him twice a week. It has been comforting to know that my surgeon has followed my aftercare so closely. Additionally, Dr. Moelleken provides you with his email and responds immediately if you email him with questions or concerns. I am now 3 weeks post surgery and my recovery has been problem free. My incision is healing quickly with no problems.

Dr. Moelleken and his team have given me a gift that I honestly thought would never happen. This surgery was worth every penny. For the moms out there who have been told that a tummy tuck is impossible because of lack of skin laxity - call Dr. Moelleken. There is hope!
