WORTH IT$17,000
I found this site earlier this week and have been avidly reading posts an reviews. Tomorrow I will be 4 weeks post op for a full tummy tuck. I couldn't be happier with my choice to have this surgery and my choice to use Dr. Steven White. I was unhappy with the sagging skin on my belly that no amount of exercise could smooth and tone. I have been wanting to find a fix and my amazing wonderful husband said ok. I worked out with a personal trainer for 8 weeks before my surgery and my weight was already good for my height. I was up the night of my surgery walking the hallway with Dr. White. I have not needed any medicine except Tylenol since leaving the hospital. I have done everything he said to do and my results are beautiful. My 17 year old daughter saw me unveiled for the first time yesterday and was shocked to see I have the stomach, abs, skin, and definition of a 25 year old. Did I mention I'm 53?
I'm so excited every day to see how I progress. Dr. White's exacting methods and attention to every detail has made this an easy recovery. I am even looking at bikinis. I can't wait to rock this body! Hmmm...what next?!

I wish I had taken before pictures but I did everything to keep away from the camera. My abs and belly are incredible. From the day I had the surgery it was evident my skin and results were going to be amazing. Tomorrow is one month. I'm in an extra small body suit and corset that I had taken in to make it smaller. My dr still wants to keep me compressed and it feels better to have the body suit on when I'm at work. I stand for five hours straight in different positions at work.
I actually found out about Dr. White at work!! I work for Homeland Security and was patting down a passenger because our machine showed something unusual around the waist area...she had on her compression suit from a tummy tuck!! She told me what it was as I patted down her waist area and when I asked if she was happy she said "YES". She said absolutely not to go to any other doctor than Steven White for any type of plastic surgery. It turns out I loved him and never went to another consultation. I've never been more excited and glad about my choice to have surgery and who I chose to walk this journey with me. My husband is a physician and has been so happy to see how happy I am. Thank you to my two favorite doctors!! I will post after pictures as soon as I can!!

As promised I'm posting pictures. 30 days out and my belly button is almost healed. The silicon tape is still over my very thin scar to keep it thin and small.

Your results are awesome!! Enjoy your new transformation! I am only 1 week post op from my Dr. in Dallas. His name is Dr. Sacha Obaid. I hope my results are like yours!

Your belly looks beautiful! Dr. White did my surgery as well. I am 20 weeks PO, and couldn't be happier. I love your story about how you found out about him. He does exceptional work, and the after care he gives his patients is top notch! Look forward to reading your updates!

Thank you! I'm so happy with my choice. Last Monday the foam came off and Jennifer said I could keep it for sore areas...tossed the while thing in the office :). I also bought the scar cream and have started applying it to my belly button. They put me into a new xs body suit and I had my corset taken in at a nice tailor. I do notice some swelling and I'm probably out of my suit too much to see my results ..I'm going to start cardio at the gym tomorrow. I miss my three x's a week with my lifetime personal trainer but I need to try and work on my legs again!
Now I'm worried my belly button will be too small (I saw your post about yours LOL).

You look AMAZING!!!! I haven't even heard of him before in all my search here for a Dr, so I will look up his site and call for a consultation. I'm meeting with two, possibly 3 other PS as well. That's a lot of money, did you have more than a tummy tuck? I wish you continued healing, I'm just starting my process so your updates will help me a lot! Thank you.

I don't know if you read about how I found Dr White, but I didn't bother seeing anyone else. He is expensive, but did include anesthesiologist (this dr was an expert-no nausea after surgery), operating room, all my compression clothes, pain pump, and two nights in the hospital. My surgery took six hours and the dr was there every time I walked the halls. I live in the Grapevine area and drive to Walnut Hill every appt.... worth every minute in Dallas traffic.
When I met him I knew I'd found a kindred spirit. I am a little bit of a perfectionist, but when he got up to straighten a lamp and plant on an end table nearby, I knew this was a man that paid attention to detail and would be a perfectionist too. Yep!!! He is excited about his work and my results. His office staff and the staff at the hospital have also been like an expert group of friends. I call and ask them crazy questions all the time :). Today I called them just to say Thank you. I know the cost seems incredible, but so is Dr. White!
Keep us posted and good luck! I'm happy to answer any questions.

Hi there. How is it that there's no nausea after surgery? What did they do or give u?
May 8, 2013
I wish I knew the name of the meds. I took seething the morning of my surgery and they have me more than one med right before and in my IV. I will try and find it. My dr waited for this anesthiologist an extra 30 min because he said he has never had an episode of nasea with him so perhaps it was a combination :). I thought it seemed like a lot of concern over nasea...until I realized how awful it would be after this kind of surgery. Coughing and laughing were my biggest fears!

Thank you for the info kareydfw. I will mention this to my ps. I've had nausea in the past, after surgery. (Gall stones) it was awful and so painful.

You look fantastic! Your scar is so thin. Hope you're feeling better
May 7, 2013
Thank you! I feel really good. I don't think I've regretted this for a second! I was showing my husband my new belly in shorts this morning. He just shakes his head :)...
