scar photos at 18 months
So you'll have to look at them while standing on your head:) I have a slight indent just above my scar in the pubic area that didn't want to heal right away so now it's a little divot.
18 months post operation
I kind of checked out from here because I had my surgery and I was happy. I don't regret it and wish I had done it early but I probably have better results after having my kids. I don't have much change since I last checked in. I still have some scar tissue or possibly what was a pseudobursa that filled with fluid and became scar tissue. This is where I had fluid accumulate after my drains were out and I had to have them put back in and was able to drain a lot of fluid a second time. It is in the middle just above my scar and below my belly button- right where you don't want a pooch. I had let it go and asked my surgeon at 12 months and he thought it was normal. Unfortunately it has continued to bother me- almost like having a baby sit on your bladder, I feel fuller and uncomfortable at times. I can feel the tissue inside. I happened to be at the PS for a peel with the esthetician and decide to ask the PS again. He said he could do a little lipo in the office to take care of that, so I am going to have that done. I honestly have not done my part to work out and get the weight off that I would like. With two young kids, I never seem to have enough time and I need to make the time for me. I need to work to get rid of my big hips so my results look better too! :) My scar is very light and hardly noticeable. I am still happy and look forward to losing weight and feeling even better! Do it- you won't regret it!

Provider Review
Please read my whole review and you will see how positive my experience has been with Dr. Stratis. It started with scheduling an impromptu consultation just to see what a PS would say about someone who weighs 200 lbs like me wanting a tummy tuck. He and his staff made me very comfortable from day one. He assured me people in all different sizes (from the largest person to the fittest person) come to him wanting to change the way they look. Everyone has something that bothers them about their body. For me it was my "inner tube" of fat and extra fat on my abs and hips. Dr. Stratis felt I would benefit from the full abdominoplasty as well as lipo of my upper abdomen, back and hips. He likes to combine the two procedures to obtain the best results. I had told him I knew I would never expect to be thin but he agreed if with diet and exercise I would not get rid of the extra "innertube" I trusted his judgment knowing his experience. He's the expert in this field. Dr. Statis is also an artist which I believe allows him to try to "mold" you to as close as possible to perfect or at least keeping things in proportion:) After surgery I felt a little guilty calling my PS because of my questions and concerns came on the weekends. He assured me I wasn't bothering him at all and encouraged me to contact him anytime. He's a very down to earth guy and I feel very comfortable with him. I am very pleased with my results. He did an excellent job and I would recommend anyone who is thinking about surgery or in office procedures to call him.
