Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I had my in-office revision!
Well okay... Man this was the weirdest thing ever. I still cant believe this actually happened.
Yes, the only anesthetic used was lidocaine, much like the dentist.
At first, there were two shallow shots to numb the area, then he really got in there deep and numbed it even more to prepare for the cutting. I always thought getting a shot in the tummy would be horrendous, but it was so similar to getting a shot in your gums pre-dental drill. An uncomfortable, cold, dull sting.
Then, he started cutting. There was no pain at all. Oh okay, this is fine, I thought.
But then! After he removed the chunk, he had to close it up. This felt like I was a fish being reeled in. I was paranoid, it felt like his "hook" was going to rip through my "mouth". Sometimes it felt like g-force, like my side was on a rollercoaster but the rest of me was not.
By the end, one of my nerves woke up a bit. When he sewed up certain areas, this one painful "ping" would happen, located above the whole incision. One time, I felt the needle, thread, and tightening action and told him about it. He was like "we're almost done, there'll only be two more of those."
I was like ( !!! ) but I didn't feel the rest at all. I realized if I'd truly felt all of that, I'd be crying, so it still wasn't worse than getting a cavity filled.
All in all, I would say this was like a David Lynch/Twin Peaks dental appointment. I can totally imagine Agent Cooper having a dream like this. Go in for a root canal, leave with a 3 inch incision on your side.
I can't believe this just happened to me in my own plane of existence.
The area is still swollen so I cant see the results yet, but hey, I'm ok! I was cut into last night, and I'm ok! Crazy.

Maniacal Laughter!!
When I see a before and after... BWA HAHA HAHA HAHA!!! Tummy, you got OWNED.
I never get tired of this stuff.
I go out with my family now, I dont worry about how I'm sitting or what I'm wearing, I'm just free to be me.
I think TTs are awesome. It's pretty obvious when you need one.
Ive seen some other plastic surgery procedures where its arguable, (but really people can do whatever they wish, not trying to judge).
You know, someone gets fillers and it's like... You looked OK before.
Well my tummy did not look OK before! :-)

It's been ten weeks!
Here are some pics, there's not much to report, so I thought I'd just post some belly shots for anyone browsing realself who's doing their research.
I know I used to do that!
