“Tummy Tuck Joy”

Worth It
Spent: $8,400 in Rochester, New York

I had my TT on March 9, 2009 and I honestly have to admit, it is the best thing I’ve done for myself. I am a 33 year old mother of two children 16 and 10 and motherhood has left me with many stretch marks and extremely loose skin around my abdomen.

I hated the way my clothing fit and I was very self-conscious. Due to the fact I have a high pain tolerance I have to say on a scale 1 to 10 my pain severity was a three, the drains were the biggest headache. The drains were removed on the 10th day and every since then it’s been smooth sailing.

Some very important pieces of advice I would give is: research your surgeon, don’t be frugal, and walk as soon as you can.

I am so happy with my results and can’t believe I waited so long to have it done.

That's awesome! I'm glad it has worked out. I live around your area. I was wondering if you could please give me the name of the surgeon you used? I'm hoping to get a tummy tuck after experiencing 60+ pound weight loss in the past year. Though I now am a normal weight, I still don't have a flat stomach because the years of being overweight created a gross and (so far) permanent pouch thing!
