I started looking for a plastic surgeon to perform my tummy tuck after having my first child five years ago. I live in an area of Long Island where there are plastic surgery centers on every block, but I chose to use Dr. Fiorillo who is located in Rockland County NY. I was looking for a doctor who completely understood the fit look that I was going for. His work is amazing and I am loving my new look!! My scar is razor thin and low enough to wear a bikini! I highly recommend him!

Thank you! I feel great! I am sooo happy with the results! I've been back at the gym for over a month. I trained very light at first, but now I am pretty much back to normal. Ab training gets easier each time- still cannot do hanging leg raises. I can't wait for my abs to "pop" lol!

Did you have your surgery yet?

You really look great! I am a figure competitor and even though I have abs I always had to deal with the hanging skin! I'm still afraid of the scar. I know I won't I won't be able to hide it in my competition suit but anything is better than what I have now! I'm planning on getting a TT next year. I just had a BL/BA in April 3. How soon could you go back to working out?

Thank you! I also plan on competing in the near future! My doctors wife is a fitness competitor, so he knew exactly the look that I was going for, where to place the scar etc. I started light cardio about 4 or 5 weeks after surgery and at around 6 weeks went back to the gym for weights (very light at first and worked my way back up again) Around 8 weeks after, I started abs (even though my doctor gave me the ok to start sooner). How are you feeling after your surgery? Are you happy with the results?

I'm feeling good. My breasts are still sore a little. When I'm reaching I can still feel some pain. I am happy with the results, just going back in Aug to get my areolas raised a bit. When do you think you will start competing?

Thanks for the updates! I finally scheduled my surgery. It's not til October, but I'm fine with that. Hopefully all my major swelling will be gone by next summer. Lol. Im having an extended tummy tuck to get rid of all the hanging skin on my flanks and to fix my diastasis.
I'm so scared I wont be able to do ab work for a really long time afterward. When did you start again? Did it cause lots of swelling? Did you stop whenif it started to swell or did you keep going?
