WORTH IT$6,200
I have had 2 children by c-sec, the last was 9lbs, now I'm close to 50 yrs old and my tummy is a mess! I am within my ideal weight range, but need MR and I have a little bit of extra skin. Dr. A said I might have to a small ver incision because there might not be enough skin to put down to lose the old bb. I really don't want an extra scar so I hope he can do it without one! I have to say that so far he seems to be the perfect choice for me. I'll let you know as we precess!

How did you find your doctor?
December 15, 2010
I had been looking around trying to get info on doctors here and his name kept being the one I would find any time I found something good somebody said. Then I joined here and searched ps in Memphis and his name popped up again. I emailed him on the weekend, not expecting to hear from him until Monday. To my surprise he emailed me back that weekend and we emailed back and forth a couple times. I then emailed the lady from this site that had used him and she had nothing but good things to say. So I made an appointment and really liked him and his staff! He spent about 1 1/2 hours with me answering all my questions. His lady at the desk came in two or three times to speed him along but he told her he wasn't done and he would let her know when he was. I was impressed that he wasn't hurrying me along just so he could stay on time!

That is excellent! You must feel really good about your decision. It is always great to speak to another patient who first hand experienced his work.
Good for you!

I know you will be very happy with your decision. I had the same feelings before surgery, a lot of what ifs...but all in all I am four days post op and am not having any doubts. You will be very happy with your descision. Good luck!

Thanks, I really am excited about it!
I keep getting those doubts, is it really worth the risk, am I wasting money, etc. Then I'll past a mirror and see my belly hanging over my jeans and think, hell yes it going to be worth it!!! I only go through these same feeling about a million times each day! Lol

Getting ready to go to ps appointment, I think its just to have pictures taken, but I'm not real sure. I do have a few more questions to ask and I am planning to ask to see his photo albums again. Now, after the shock of hearing that I might (most likely) have a ver incision to close my old bb has worn off, I have more questions and want to see pictures of his other clients with the same incision.
I'll let you know how it goes!

So my appointment went well, had pictures taken, which is really weird. Anyway I asked more questions about the vertical incision and he explained it more and I think I understood things a bit better. I did ask him to try and just stitch the old bb hole and not go all the way up to my new bb. He said he would try, he explained that a lot of the time when there isn't a lot of extra skin to pull up enough to see the upper muscles that need repair that you have to cut up to the bb to have enough room to work. I know I'm not explaining that very good, but I understood what he was saying, he is just better at explaining that I am! Lol I really don't want a scar all the way to my new bb.
I'm attaching pictures of the drawing he did, the dotted line is where my u/wear was sitting and the solid line is where the incision will be.

Thanks so much for posting your story and photos. You look like a great candidate for a tummy tuck. (Your mid-section actually reminds me a lot of mine! Ahem.)
Anyway, looking forward to hearing how your surgery goes. Keep me/us posted.
