I have followed Dr Shifrin for about a year and after having multiple consultations with different Drs I finally got in to see him. Finally met him on 11/2/15 and scheduled my surgery TT with lipo to chest, flanks, thighs & full back. (Scary) on 2/11/16....I never really had a issue with weight until I hit about 48... The weight gain came with hot flashes, night sweats and abdominal /midsection fullness. I know this surgery won't stop menopause but it will make me feel better while doing it!! I am about 3 weeks from my surgery date I will keep you guys updated on my journey

Attached are a few pre op photos that I posted back in October 2015 and Dr Shifrin actually responded to my post with two different surgery options. I worked out hard last year and dropped about 20 pounds. But no matter what I did including hiring a personal trainer I couldn't get rid of my stomach I could only make it smaller. But it continued to restrict my clothing choices. And my thighs have become a storage place for my body to store food!! I'm looking forward to getting these issues resolved permeantly!!!

Personally, I don't think your stomach needs a tummy tuck. I really think the lipo will give you the look you want because your stomach is not hanging, it is just a little pudgy. I always thought TT were for when you had excess skin and the stomach sort of hung over the pubic area but your tummy area is tight already. Not trying to discourage you but I think your body is great now especially for 51 with two kids.

Thanks for the compliment.. I have tried hard to hold it together .. But life has a way of taking a toll on you. 2 children, death of my parents, divorce, hysterectomy and now high blood pressure and hot sweats... Lol!! Dr Shifrin did tell me he could get me flat with liposuction or tight and flat with a TT. So I decided to go ALL the way in a effort to hold off this thing called age... I'm praying for outstanding results..

You already look awesome, so you are going to have NICE results. I originally wanted Dr. S. to do my tt, but our dates weren't matching up.
