I am the mother of three children. All three were c section. After my first baby was born my stomach muscles were never the same. I met Dr Bresnick thru a procedure that my son needed.

Dr Bresnick was so great he did a beautiful job and my scar is soon I can wear a bikini.

It is so tight and flat. I do think you need to loose all your fat first. Tummy tuck does t rid you of fat. I lost the weight first. He told me my muscles were 6 inches apart he sewed them back together.

As with any plastic surgery you need to be realistic with your expectations. I was and I am happy. My mother in law also went to him but she did not loose the weight a d she doesn't look like she even had one.

I also have a friend that had one and here went Terribly wrong. She didn't listen to dr and went out the first week after procedure. She got an infection it turned septic and she almost died. The dr had to remove a large portion of stomach skin and tissue leaving the wound open until after a year it closed leaving a hideous scar that looked like elephant ears. I followed all the instructions and was in bed recouping for two weeks and the. Third week I still was in bed most of time and walking around. Your tummy is one of the worst and most dangerous places to get an infection.

Another wonderful thing about dr Bresnick is that he is conservative and will do the safest procedure. For instance on the Beverly Hills plastic surgery show the doctors would all do lipo on tummy at same time. Dr Bresnick will not be says too dangerous.

I also liked the way he made me feel so comfortable and he didn't look me over to find other flaws and offer advice to change them.. I had been to other doctors and they seemed to scrutinize everything.

When choosing him it was very very very important to have a board certified surgeon. It is a lot of work to be certified and difficult. This I would say is critical.

Anyway good luck and feel free to ask me a question.

Great review?

Because he deserves it amazing. It's been seven years and I still love my tummy tuck! I chose him because he was board certified and all the patients I spoke with said they were very happy. He was conservative and therefor I felt safe.
