So it's been 1 year and 5 months since I had the surgery my stomach is still flat only on the bottom because under my Breast bone it still sticks out like nothing was done. My scar is thick and crooked. I look great in my clothes. But I can't wear belly shirts or bikinis. And I still have TONS of stretch marks. I'm contemplating getting a revision surgery. DR Alkon is the perfect example of " you get why you pay for!" I will be posting pics

Great review?

Dr Alkon was very informative and caring in the beginning but his work is bad. He became less attentive and always brushed off my concerns post surgery

If you have help you will be fine. I found the first 3 days were the worst couldn't sit or stand without help. Today is day 8 for me and it just hurts to walk around, back is very sore from being hunched back. I would do it again in a heart beat. Congrats on your new belly.
