$9,000
It's been almost 5 months po. I'm glad I got the surgery but I have some imperfections. My left hip is little bigger and I don't like my scars. In oct. dr. Is going to mke corrections in office because ill be 9 month po. He's going to get rid of belly button scar and fix left hip. I've Gone from size 14 pants to size 8. I have several stretch marks in belly and still have some working off thighs so not sure about bikini this year. I'm really happy with the way I look in clothes and more confident about myself.

I haven't done it yet I will say I did weight watchers an went from 203 to 180 so now I'm ready to do it I scheduled my new appointment for March ,2014 I want to be at least 170
Hi all. I will post pictures some time this week. I know I haven't been on in awhile. I still have a bad scar and my belly button is still abnormal. The dr. has offered to try to fix the scar but the scar will be longer and he can't guarantee the scar will be less noticeably, I will still have to pay for cost of surgery just not from Dr. Reisin.

Hey ladies! It's been 6 1/2 weeks now. I've been feeling really good. I started working out even this week. I now see a problem. If you look at my side view pics you can see swelling all of a sudden. I see the dr. Again on Thursday but hoping I didn't ruin anything not hurting really just a little sore. Also my belly button still looks weird hoping the scar will get better. I've gone from size 14 to size 10 and down 10 lbs.

Looking has these pics I'm kind of grossed out my scar is uneven and hips large.
I know what you mean, mine is not totally even on each side, one is a bit higher than the other. But I'm 6 weeks out and my scar is fading, and yours will too. It takes a while for everything to "settle" so don't beat yourself up too much right now. You will look back at these photos in 6 weeks and say 'wow I look so much better."
Hi! I am a school teacher in Detroit as well and a mother of five! Did you have your surgery with dr. Reisin? And if so, are you pleased with the results?
I think you look great!
I am 5 weeks tomorrow and have been really swollen in the last 2 days. My muscle have been more uncomfortable yesterday and today then after surgery. I am hoping that its just nerve endings waking up and that i didn't do something to mess muscles up either. I do't know what i could have done though because i've been really easy on my body, trying not to lift anything over 5-10 lbs and straining myself. I haven't started working out because i'm afraid to. Hope you feel better soon!
Hi, I was wandering how everything was going with you and how your recovery been going along.
Also do you have new pics and any recommendations for swelling, foods i should avoid and what to use for your scar I'm 2weeks post- op I had mommy makeover which was BL and TT with lipo on March 19.

So not sure how I'm feeling my incsion looks crooked but aS it heals I'm sure it'll look better. Still sore little. Went for po apt and they only took out half the amount if fluid since last week which is good because when it's gone no more binder. I'm able to now lift my five month old daughter, thank god my two year old is understanding. I bought a pair of jeans because I had none that fit me right. I'm happy to saw I was able to buy pants that I didn't have to buy high or big to cover my bulge. Still not able to really go pant shopping because not really normal yet.

Your pictures are a bit blurry. Are you concerned about your belly button?
