WORTH IT$9,500
After having 3 children at a fairly young age, my body was wrecked. I decided to have a mommy makeover after my consultation. Dr. Palin was very thorough with the information about the procedure and what to expect afterwards. He was also realistic with what was possible for my body type, which made me feel better that he wasn't just going to do whatever to my body. Dr. Palin has been absolutely wonderful. His staff is excellent, very pleasant to be around. I never expected to look the way I do now. I would do it aIl over again. I am beyond satisfied with his work. Its hard to believe this is me now. I look better than I did as a teenager. My self confidence has also been restored. I've missed wearing a bikini so much, I now own 10! I would recommend him and already have.

How I have been caring for my scars.
I wore the tape nonstop for over 4 months. I swear it kept my scars from raising up. Also, palmers cocoa butter was applied over the tape, everyday and night!! I still use it to massage the scars and abdominal area every chance I get. I always always always massage the scar!

Dang what did you use on your scar? It's so faded for only 6 months!

Thanks :) I used the 3m tape, Bactrim, cocoa butter and lots of love. ;) I kept the tape on 24/7 only changing it every 3 days. It's very durable tape. And it's super soft. You don't even feel like your wearing it.

So you just massaged every three days when you changed your tape? What does the betadine do?

September 27, 2013
Correct. But only after it was completely closed, no scabing. I I made sure to wipe off any residue afterwards so the tape held as tight as possible across the incision. The Betadine was what the PS said to use to clean the area applied over the tape. I applied it several times a day, maybe too much. It didnt hurt anything and it never became infected. Everyone's body heals differently. I would hope what worked for me, will work for anyone!

Supplies
The tape, the Betadine, and the cocoa butter. That is all I used. Betadine was applied over my tape, I did that 2x a day and after every shower. The tape is so durable you can shower and it'll still stay on for a few days! Massaging my stomach with the butter helped with the swelling and also with the scar once the incision was closed.
