How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

5.5 weeks po Hey all! Hope everyone is doing...

5.5 weeks po Hey all! Hope everyone is doing fabulous! I have been doing really good, my tightness in my abs is getting better and I no longer have to bend my self in unfavorable positions to shave my legs. My hole is pretty much closed up and you know what that means?? I get to swim and hit the gym! Can't wait to start doing crossfit again. Hawaii is in November and even though I'm flat now I still want to be the best me I can be! I've been so busy with my burlesque troupe lately getting them shows and what not. I can't wait to be performing again. That's where I belong! I'll post some pics soon:) happy healing amigas!

Well I'm am 4 weeks po! Crazy! Things are going...

Well I'm am 4 weeks po! Crazy! Things are going really well. My hole is closing nicely:) thank god! I've been really good about eating clean and what not so I'm sure that helps. I was avoiding alcohol but decided to partake the other night and oh boy do I regret it!! I'm good for another 4 weeks. I was so hungover:( anywho not sure if I mentioned this already but so far my waist has gone from 34" to 29". Of course that fluctuates through out the day. I still don't own a scale but I feel great. I do have trouble sleeping at night as I am a tummy sleeper and still can't rest comfortably on my tummy. I've about had it with the compression garments but still have two more months with it. I do feel more support with it on and more disciplined. I can't over indulge in food and I have to sit straight:) so I guess that's good. As soon as my hole closes I can start working out and swimming. *come on hole** my butt looks like I actually have one now that he sucked out all the fat! I'll post new pics soon! Happy healing friends.

Hey fellow tummy Tucker's! Well I'm 25 days post...

Hey fellow tummy Tucker's! Well I'm 25 days post op and feeling pretty darn good. I think my hole is starting to close! I played dress up today and was so excited!!! All my dresses I've been wearing actually fit like they are supposed to now! I looked amazing in a bikini too:) can't wait to see the final results. Just got a new compression garment in in a smaller size. My old ones were too big. Got two more months and some days to go wearing this thing, but no complaints here. I really believe its helping shape my waist and it's helping reduce the swelling. It also gives me a lot if support in my lower back and tummy.. So I'll just deal with it. I am avoiding any alcohol or anything toxic as I want my body to have the best chance it can have to heal.. My scar (aside from my hole) has healed beautifully thus far.. My lipo incisions are disappearing too.. All and all I'm uber happy with my results. Just wish I hadn't developed the hole. Either way, that's my own fault. Welp, happy healing!

Dr. Cruise and his staff have been nothing but supportive and informative. Cristin has been my guiding angel helping me through this. They even have a special website where you connect with other patients and hear their stories. I've never seen one bad review. I'll edit this more when I get the aftercare but if they are as attentive after as they were before then I'm golden. :) so once I got to my hotel I received a call from cristin then a little later from dr. Cruise. Seriously best doctor ever.
