I've been considering having a tummy tuck every since my 4th c-section. I've been so nervous, especially after seeing some of other people horrible experiences. Found a wonderful dr who specializes in this procedure, so decided to do it! I also want an arm lift and an bbl, but 1st things 1st...lol, nervous but so ready!


No dreamworld prethoughts, he is totally honest about the results to expect rather then selling you a dream and leaving you unhappy in the end. I like his attitude and he is very patient, explain everything from beginning to end, kind and made me feel comfortable as if I knew him for years. I've really shopped around, he isn't expensive and his work speaks for itself. It's the kindness and comfort level that made mme decide he was the one to go to.
I will do before and after photos, just have to bulid up the nerve to actually post them.

Day 4 Post Op, feeling extremely sore, not quite happy because of the recovery factor. I am use to coming and going at will but now feel handicapped, in a way. Drains are driving me crazy, stomach is looking flatter then a counter top (loving that part), still cant stand straight up, hunch back shorty....lol, I am so ready to dismiss this binder and leave this pain behind me. Decription of the pain, C-section 3x in one! If I am feeling up to it, will post pix later on tonight or early in the am.

Great review?
