Let me first say this..... as a licensed professional in another industry, there is no way I could let anyone less then board certified operate on me so by my second consultation I was only looking for the right board certified plastic surgeon. I didn't even have to ask to see it Dr. Benjamin had it nicely framed. Him and his wife (nurse) are down to earth so you couldn't tell me we just met lol. Anyhow, I booked the same day since it felt right and got an appointment within 2 1/2 weeks. His schedule was tight into September but he made it happen for me and I appreciate that. I look forward to sharing my journey, because this is a life changing experience and I want to help others just as realself members have done for me. I will have lipo to my abs and flanks.

Are you having just liposuction or a tummy tuck (or both)? If you're having only liposuction I doubt if you're going to be happy with your results considering the amount of loose skin and obvious muscle laxity. Just saying..... I know the feeling of being disappointed in my results so I advise you to check out your options before proceeding. Just because a surgeon is board certified doesn't guarantee that you will provide optimum results.

Hi...I will have lipo and smart lipo together. My stomach looks bigger in these pictures lol. I don't need a TT because I have done research, and my fat is about 2 & 1/2 inches. What this means is I would be great for just smart lipo that stimulates the collagen and elasticity for skin shrinkage, but I'm getting lipo also to support. I am aware board certified doesn't guarantee optimum results, but I have seen several patients with a similar body size that had realistic results; All I'm looking for since I look great in clothes already. I am confident in my US doctor. Thank you for your comment.

Hi and congrats TP2!. Yes, Dr. Benjamin and his wife are wonderful. After meeting them both I felt completely comfortable. I immediately knew I wanted him as my P.S. After interviewing one other surgeon I made the decision to have Dr. Benjamin perform my surgery. I am getting the mommy makeover procedure and will have it done on September 3. Good luck to you and I look forward to reading about your journey.

I'm only looking for realistic results of a smoother appearance. My pictures look bigger than I really am lol. I am about 5 lbs "over" weight, but I love my natural curves and bothered by my stomach that came from natural child birth.
