Love my Tummy Tuck! - Mountain View, CA

UPDATED FROM Santacruzca

Almost six month update!

WORTH IT$12,500
I gotta say this last month has been a vast improvement in my recovery - I am feeling almost completely normal pain wise and looking fantastic! I had almost two weeks off from work for a stay at home vacation and I believe my body needed that to heal and relax. I took it easy but worked out at the gym almost daily. Not that I was in much pain but now I can tell a big difference.

I found Dr. Lowen and his staff to be very professional. The doctor answered all my questions and I felt he had the experience, confidence and expertise to do a great job which he has. He was very honest with me every step of the way.

Did you have to do any muscle repair? Pre op you looked very similar to me except my tummy looked more melted down the front of me! Congratulations! We're now on the flat side!
Yes I had muscle repair. It has been six months and am surprised how every day I am so glad I did this. Before I was able to hide the tummy under clothes so no one really had any idea. Now I look and feel fabulous! Healing has been slower because of my age though.
I am 58 and will have th in February. U didn'treally go into the recovery much. How was it? Did u need a walker or a recliner?
Tummy tuck sorry about the tpo

He gave u a good bb ... I've seen alot that look really weird .. I hope mine turns out good ... Did he have u do anything to it to make it go in or did it do it on its own ?
I did not have to do anything to the bb. My scar is a little lopsided but is fading and flattening. I think your incision line will look great. Give it time. I personally knew I would have a scar. I just wanted to get rid of the huge belly and loose skin.
