I'd lost a lot of weight, and had enough loose skin to throw me off balance. When I moved fast and stopped, it kept going. I could hoola hoop inside my own skin.

Best thing I've ever done for myself besides losing the weight was choosing Dr P to do this procedure.

He found that my belly muscles--the ones that are supposed to part and go back together after you've had a baby--were not connected. He took care of that while he removed the extra skin and leftover fat.

Not only do I look a heck of a lot better... I haven't had any back trouble since. A strong girdle of stomach muscles made an amazing difference... Nobody I'd ever seen for back pain and blown disks had mentioned abdominal muscle trouble.

I'm guessing at the cost. I can't separate out the fees for the tummy tuck because I had lots of other things done too: Mid-face lift, repair of botched bleph, breast lift and implants.

Dr. P, if you ever read these reviews, I'm your fan Caroline J.

Great review?

I looked at online portfolios, and went for some consultations. I liked Dr P and his staff and the in-office photo portfolios best. Nope, not the cheapest. But not the most expensive either.

Welcome to the community.  Congratulations on the weight loss, you should be proud.  Boy you got a bonus with the back pain going away:)
