After 4 pregnancies, the the skin on my tummy was extremely saggy and I had muscle separation that no amount of diet and/or exercise could mend. I was constantly being asked if I was pregnant. I am 5' 7", and I regularly work out at the gym. At one point, I dieted and got down to 127-lbs; I fit into a size 4 pants, but still had to wear a size large shirt. I was very discouraged after working so hard that I was still being asked the awkward question. When my youngest child was 3 1/2 years old, I decided to have the tummy tuck procedure.
I never saw myself as someone who would have optional surgery, but I felt this was necessary for my emotional and mental well-being.
I found out that this really is a big procedure. They do warn you that you will be completely down for 2 weeks and healing for 4-8 weeks before you can resume normal activities. Being in my mid-30s and good health, I guess I thought I would bounce back more easily. The recovery was substantial, but, to me, the surgery was completely worth it.
Dr. Brzowski removed about 10-inches of skin (10-inches up and down) all the way around the front of my mid-section, hip to hip, and stitched the separated muscles back together. It has been such a blessing to fit into clothes normally again and I have not been asked once if I was pregnant since the surgery. I am at a healthy weight of 145, and wear a size 8 pants and size medium shirt. My weight is 145 in both the before and after photo -- but, you can see that there is a tremendous difference in the shape of my body and even in the smoothness of my skin because of the tightening.
Thank you Dr. Brzowski for giving me my confidence back!!! This is not a quick fix or a weight-loss procedure (as they will tell you in the consultation). But, it is a great surgery that I highly recommend for anyone who has already lost the weight and needs help getting their body back to looking the way it use to. Dr. Brzowski also has an excellent bedside manner. He and his staff support you the entire way. And, his price is reasonable compared to what I found when I shopped around too.
