I didn’t want to tell my husband that I was thinking about a tummy tuck and made two consultation appointments, one with Dr. Rigan and one with another provider. My husband works for a healthcare system here in Buffalo and said “Why didn’t you ask me? Go to Dr. Rigan, he’s a genius!!” Dr. Rigan is a quiet man but that’s probably a part of his genius. I am very much a bikini girl and he placed the incision PAST my c section scar and got rid of it altogether. WOW! That scar hung

I have always had a small chest and so excited to share my amazing experience with my Breast Augmentation . I have had so much anxiety about the big day and hear it came and went . Yesterday was the day of my breast augmentation. I got to the surgery center at 1150am, my surgery was set for 1pm. I was soo excited and nervous. I am a nervous person as it is but when it comes to hospitals I freak out! The nurse came to get me to prep me up for the surgery. Finally got the IV in

I've never posted anything yet, but figured I would. I also have some insomnia, maybe from the hydrocodons or from anesthesia? Feel free to contact me about any of my experiences. I am on day 1 post op. Today was such a terrifying day, but here I am! Surprisingly, the pain is not as much as I expected! The surgery went fast and I don't remember it, so that's amazing. However, upon waking up I instantly felt nauseous, but didn't throw up. After I got home I immediately took a

I'm so happy with Dr Rigan's work. As I was being prepped to go into the operating room the nurse asked, "Who's your surgeon?". When I told her it was Dr Rigan she said "You're in VERY good hands". I felt so comforted & reassured by that statement, and you know what? She was 100% right! Beautiful, symmetrical work, and clean flat incisions. I could not be more pleased. I did this surgery as a gift to myself and I'm thrilled! Thank you Dr Rigan ;) HIGHLY RECOMMEND (I am not an

I used to be pretty hot... Nice coke bottle shape, I worked out a lot, and my husband and I had a great sex life. Ten months after we got married we had our first baby. I'm a petite person, barely 5.1 and 120 pounds. Our children were huge babies and huge blessings. Unfortunately, My stomach looked so wrinkly and saggy I looked like I was 70! I had muscle seperation, and no matter how hard I worked out and ate healthy, it didn't get any better. It definitely took a toll on my

I had twins in August 2011. They were 7 lbs 12 oz and 6 lbs 4 oz. I carried full term and delivered vaginally. They really did a number on my stomach muscles and stomach skin. I also lost 70 lbs on Weight Watchers after they were born. I am 5'9" and weigh 153 lbs. I had my tummy tuck with muscle repair and NO liposuction November 6, 2013. Today is November 10 and I feel pretty good! I would have to say that the first day after the surgery was the absolute worst. I felt

Tomorrow is 2 weeks since my procedure.  It is amazing to me how much better I feel and look in that time.  My stomach is flat.  I can wear shorter tops.  I am so very happy with everything.  I would recomemnd this highly as long as you have a good doctor.  Their is no pain at all for me.  I am still wearing the compression garment everyday and night.  2 more weeks for that.  Can't wait to get that off, getting uncomforable now but

I have been thinking about getting a tummy tuck for a few years. My children are both older now (9 & 16) and I’m done having babies. I started researching the procedure last year. I finally got up the courage to schedule consultations last month. I ended up choosing Dr. Rigan.I am scheduled for surgery in two days. I am nervous but also excited. I’m hoping that recovery won’t be too hard. I’m in decent shape (5’4”, 121 lbs), though haven’t been as motivated to work out since I

It all started in August 2016... My allergies were SO bad, that I went to my Primary doctor for help. Basically, I couldn't breathe! He offered me a Kenalog shot to help. A Kenalog shot is a steroid injected into soft tissues of the body to treat inflammation. My doctor asked me if I would like it in my arm or my butt. He warned me that it MAY cause an indentation in my skin, but that it was pretty rare. Go figure it happened to me! So I waited a year and a half to see
