WORTH IT$3,900

I am schedule for 1/15/2013 and i am very excited and a little scared to go threw the whole thing, Is it really worth it? I'm 5.5" weight 145 and my jeans are size 5-6 i work out 3 days out of the week. I have 4 children and my tummy is in bad shape with stretch marks that I can't stand to see. My boyfriend is trying to convince me that I dont need it, but it is something that I have waited for so many years. I would like some feed back to what you think about my situation. please!


I will be getting it done in TJ I have got my breast done there before the doctor that I will be going to is well recomended by family and I know lot's of people that have gone to him and have done a great job. I have read also he has many great reviews. I have seen his work and it's amazing.

I'm a few weeks into recovery, feeling amazing!! I'm glad I did it.. I can't wait to show my results to you all. My doctor is an amazing doctor, I got to see my incision and it's a hair line just across my pubic. I would recommend my doctor to all. I have seen incisions but not like this one. besides lipo was included and fat transfer to my butt for the price, AMAZING, anyhow I'm recovering well, I stopped taking my meds a few days ago. I'm enjoying my time off work.

You are going to look great afterward because you are already so thin. I wish you the best of luck!

In your case I don't know if I would trade a scar for a smoother ab/flank area, but it is not my decision. Only you know how much it will mean to you. Also you don't want to lose too much weight. the doc will some for the bbl. I suggest you contact your doc regarding that. The most important part of this whole experience is how great you will feel about yourself afterwards. i am excited for you! I can't wait to follow the rest of your journey!
