I had a full TT 6 years ago. Since then I lost 60 pounds and had another baby. Also the doctor I had last time was HORRIBLE! The scar was just below my belly button, jagged, puckered. I had an extended mini TT this time with some lipo on the flanks. The scar is so thin and VERY low! He is very meticulous and detailed. After having such a hideous experience the first time, I am so happy this one was wonderful!

Great review?

After my first TT, I was 7 hours from my PS. I developed a complication and had to call around to PS in the area to be seen. He was the only one who would fit me in that day. He spent so much time with me and charged me very little for the visit. I went back to him for a breast lift. I had excellent results. You can't even see the scar! There was never a question that I would see him in the future. I live 3 hours from him now but I would go to him even if I lived much further.

What is an extended tummy tuck?

The scar is extended further. In my case it went around the sides if my hips.
