My experience was great. Was there post op pain,...

3 Jul 2008

My experience was great. Was there post op pain, swelling, etc.? Yes, of course, but it is surgery after all. The drains were a little annoying, but needed. I actually went to a party just 2 weeks post-op with the drains still in. With the right clothes, they were not noticed. My surgeon was first rate. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! Make sure your MD is reputable.I am a little uncertain of the price. I had more than one procedure done. I was a 37 year old mother of 3 and wanted a little "mommy make over". I was not terribly out of shape. I weighed 130 lbs and wore a size 7. But, as many of you know, no matter what you do, those stretch marks and saggy skin are not going away. I LOVE the way I look. Low cut jeans, cropped tops - I can wear them. Try to find an MD that will keep you overnight in a hospital. I think that made a huge difference having professional nursing care for the first 24 hours.

Great review?

I live in Houston and I have met dozen of surgeons..and I didn't find any surgeon who does a full TT for less than 8000$. I have it done in Bolivia and I paid 2700$. I am very satisfied.

I am from the dfw (tx)area and would like to know if your doctor was in your area. I don't know how far away we are from each other but I would feel better knowing that should I choose to have my "mommy makeover" that I use someone that did a good job and that you were satisfied and happy that you used him/her. Thanks
