Hi, I had my daughter at the age of 19, a pregnancy that changed my abdomen area for good. Although I lost the pregnancy weight by eating healthy, doing cardio, weights, creams, wraps, ect. the sagging skin and belly button could not be fixed. I am still in my early twenties and i do not want to spend the rest of my twenties hiding my stomach and feeling ashamed of my body. Which is why I decided to have this surgery done as soon as possible to have a body I can wear a bikini in.
I had a few consultation with certified plastic surgeons in Chicago. After a few consultations which were all very good I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Shifrin. In the day of my consultation he made me feel very comfortable, he told me he would be able to give me an hour glass shape and remove my stretch marks (which are severe). After I left that consultation I felt very excited that I will one day have the body I desire.

I just wanted to post and update at nine months. I had my belly button made smaller since I didn't really like the way it turned out when it was to long. I still have rippling on the sides of the incision which I'm hoping will eventually go away. The scar is still bumpy in some places but its starting to flatten out. There are a few bumps from where the drains were in the pelvic area.

Hi Newerlife, thank you that is sweet of you. Well the doctor is very nice and he has been great about doing some alterations that were needed. Have realistic expectations but know what kind of belly button or scar you are going to want and talk to him about it. After the surgery the first 3 days are the worst. If possible get a recliner, I mostly slept on a chaise. Hope it helps if you have any questions or anything else i can answer for you I would be glad to help :)

I'm using same dr to do a full revision tummy tuck on November 13 th 2017.Curious how you are doing ? And if you have any advice you can give with this dr. My first tummy tuck with another dr didn't go so well and I'm starting to panic on if I'm making the right decision putting myself through the surgery and paying for another tummy tuck
