It's Never Too Late
I have always wanted bigger breasts. I have also always been overweight. So I thought that I should wait until I was the perfect weight to do it. My biggest cup size was a c, but after 6 kids & breastfeeding, I was  more of a b. Also the girls were really heading south. Over the past year I lost about 35 lbs. But then last summer I had problems in my relationship that hit my self esteem pretty hard. I decided I needed this. So I scheduled my consultation at Edina plastic surgery.
Dr Philbin is Amazing, Highly Recommend!
Dr Philbin is such a talented surgeon. If you want natural, beautiful results he is the best choice. He did a great job explaining the procedure, recovery and result expectations and then exceeded all of my expectations with his work. I highly recommend Dr Philbin for any procedure especially tummy tuck and breast augmentation.
After 6 long years I finally pulled the trigger on my abdominoplasty And liposuction. I have two Beautiful kids and a wonderful husband. This is for me and I can't wait for the results. Today was my surgery and I was petrified when I arrived. But the clinic staff did an amazing on calming my nerves down. They Said if I wasn't crying they would be more worried and it was totally normal. Arrived at the surgery center at 6 AM and they took me back a little after 630am and did
A true Artist
It is impossible to imagine finding a better Plastic Surgeon! Dr Philbin is one of the most genuine and caring practitioners I have ever encountered. He is a perfectionist as well as a gifted artist . Resulting in incredibly satisfactory results. Thirty three years after having had twins and deciding the “baby fat” wasn’t owing away on its own I decided on a tummy tuck. Dr Philbin advised liposuction of back fat and a full incision . My biggest concern and the thing I had

37 Years Old, Two Kids, One C-section an Appendectomy. Had a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction of the Flanks an Thighs - Edina, MN
After two kids, one c-section, an appendectomy and a hernia that needed repair I decided to fix it all with a tummy tuck. I work out regularly and could never get rid of the pregnancy bulge or lax skin. Procedure was yesterday and only got one quickly glance but so far I am blown away! I never thought my stomach would ever be flat again!
Highly recommend Dr. Philbin & Edina Plastic Surgery
Dr. Philbin is absolutely wonderful. He takes the time to discuss everything in detail, and will give you his honest opinion. He shows he cares every time he sees you. He is a fabulous doctor! I am only 11 days post op after having a tummy tuck, so far I am very satisfied! Dr. Philbin and all of the team at Edina Plastic surgery are very caring and inviting people, and will treat you with the upmost respect like you were their family.

47 Year Old Mother of 4, Breast Lift, Saline Implants and Mini Tummy Tuck - Minneapolis, MN
I am only 10 days out of surgery, but I do feel more confident about myself and actually it almost feels like I recognize myself again. I never felt that the post baby and nursing body was mine, but rather something that I exchanged for having my beautiful babies. The first few days after surgery I was in a great deal of pain and was very tired. The pain has decreased steadily each day and I am looking forward to seeing the results each day.
I'm scheduled to have a mommy makeover in one week. I'm super excited but really scared of the recovery time and the time it's going to take to see the final results. Getting a breast lift and augmentation, tummy tuck and Lipo of the love handles. Any info would be appreciated! Need to know realistic expectations on recovery, results, things I need to buy for after the procedure. Etc.... Updated on 3 Feb 2014: Yikes only 3 more days. I am getting anxious! 2 more days of work,

From NOT to HOT - Edina, MN
Hi tummy tuckers! About me: I'm 5'8 and between 140-143 lbs, size 2-4. I was overweight as a child, and morbidly obese during my teenaged years. As a junior in high school, I weighed 290 lbs. During my junior year, I decided to get skinny! (I really liked a guy at the time, so that helped my motivation ;) Unfortunately, being heavy my whole life I didn't understand diet/exercise in healthy ways. I spent the rest of my high school years as a bulimic who only ate apples
I had 3 kids pretty close together, and the last baby was 10 pounds. During that pregnancy, I could feel my abs tearing, so I wasn’t surprised that I ended up with diastasis recti. I tried physical therapy a it didn’t help much. I decided to surgically repair and went with a breast lift and aug too.Updated on 30 Nov 2017: Yesterday was day of surgery and everything went well. I was sent home with a Foley catheter that I was originally not excited about but glad I got it because
