This has been a long journey for me back in 2022 I had a tummy tuck with another doctor. I had so many complications with 1st surgery, my incision dehisced had a revision 3 weeks later and continued hyperbaric treatment for 2months. My scar was still terrible even after two years. I was left feeling so depressed and sad, every time I looked in the mirror. I decided in 2024 to get a...

I spent a decade wearing baggy shirts over my slacks and leggings so the flabby skin over a c-section scar wouldn't show. I literally changed my clothing style to hide the roll of skin on my lower abdomen due to the scar. A friend had a similar issue and told me Dr. Hodge had done an abdominoplasty. Her abdomen was now flat and she was thrilled! I immediately made an appointment and within two...

Truly, one of the most interesting "reconstructive" surgeries anyone can ever have. In addition, I didn't know how painful liposuction was. I didn't even know I had much fat to take (thought I was skinny), but there was fat to take. I didn't realize how much pain there would be when waking up, but there was......but that is something that is part of having a surgery. I also didn't realize how...

Dr. Cusick took the time to address my concerns, recommend which procedures would work best, and give realistic expectations about results. I consulted with several plastic surgeons and ended up choosing Dr. Cusick because he seemed the most genuinely interested and excited about helping me reach my goals. I am very happy with the results of my surgery, as I am with the surgical center, and...

I’m three weeks postoperative and I’m already pleased with my results, mind you I am still pretty swollen right now and will be for at least the next couple of months or so.

Dr. Leahy is caring and very responsive to any concerns. I had a tummy tuck and have had results beyond my wildest dreams. I would have never achieved my results with weight loss alone and I feel (and look) better than I have since I was a teenager. Dr. Leahy takes the time to answer any questions and is always available by email. My confidence has soared and it’s so much fun buying clothes n...

I met with a total of three doctors when I made the decision to go with a tummy tuck. While I think that all of the doctors would have done a good job, my decision to go with Dr. Chhatre was the best one. I think that most of us focus on cost and the doctor's reputation when we start looking for a doctor. Dr. Chhatre was more than competitive and he was recommended by my friend. One of the...

I workout, do a million sit ups, but after 5 babies-it didn't matter how many sit ups i did. I wanted the belly gone. I found Dr Bortnick. He was kind and caring. He and his nurses spent quite a bit of time with me going over the procedure and what i could expect after surgery. His nurse Jamee would answer my calls and emails in a timely manner. They really calmed my anxiety about surgery...

I had a baby in 2019 & 6 months later found out I was pregnant with twins! My body was wrecked! SEVERE diastasis recti and lots of “twin skin”. SO happy I decided to get it fixed by Dr. Steen! The drainless tummy tuck is the only way to go! Recovery has been a breeze, even with 3 toddlers! I’m only 4 weeks post op and besides lifting, I can pretty much take care of all my stay at home ...

I have been wanting to add my photos here after perusing this site for many years. My youngest was a very large baby, which resulted in my belly having a 4" diastasis recti gap, umbilical hernia, and small ventral hernia. After researching and completing many different non-surgical options (physical therapy, diastasis recti exercises, core strengthening with tummy binder/ tape-- none of which...

I have been researching options for a cosmetic procedure to help with the excess skin and belly fat that I have, and I made the decision 2 months ago to have a tummy tuck and lipo of my hips. I am really excited to have this done and I really hope that I am pleased with the long term results. I have read reviews, and have talked to two women I know who have had this procedure (one in 2015 and...
