I made the decision to get a tummy tuck after having three children, and losing 130 pounds on my own. My tummy had loose skin, and my abs had separated. Dr Gallegos so far exceeded my expectations, and has made my dream of having my pre-kids/pre-weight gain tummy back! The results are already beautiful just 7 weeks out. I chose Dr Gallegos because of his excellent reputation AND because I loved how low he made the incision. After reviewing pictures of several doctors close to me, I knew I would choose him because of incision placement. I wanted it as low as possible. As you can see in the photos, it is completely covered by the underwear. That’s exactly what I wanted!

Swelling continues to go down! The results are definitely better than I expected, and I am feeling very good! I have had to pace myself with exercise. My body will tell me when I am doing too much, and I will be sore and experience some transient swelling in the lower abdomen. Remaining very careful with lifting anything too heavy.

Amazing to see the transformation from week 3 post op to week 17 post op!! Dr Gallegos did amazing work. Still can’t get over the perfect placement of the incision. Completely hidden, and I am so thankful for his skill.

Nine months post-op and my waist and stomach continue to improve with each month that passes. I have added core workouts into my routine, and I’m starting to see some definition! I am so thankful that I started with a tummy tuck. Looking at a lift next.

A little over 2 years post-op now…the results continue to blow my mind everyday. They are definitely better than I ever thought possible. I cannot stress enough how important it is to do your research and select a doctor with proven skill and excellent results that are verifiable through many pictures and case files. Do not settle for “cheap work”. If you’re going to have work done, it’s always worth it to wait and save enough to have it done by a master surgeon.
