- 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.

Hello,
I have been browsing this site for a while. Found a great doctor (dr shifrin) and really love his work. He said that I need a full TT.
I am confident in his work. But my biggest fear is the pain. I also noticed that I have left over 60 comments asking the same questions (was the pain manageable, did you have exparel? Lol)
The over all majority think that TT is painful especially for the first 3 days. Exparel seems to be a miracle drug in reducing the pain level the first 3 days.
Dr shifrin said he would use it if I want it. During the consultation he didn't seem to be that big on exparel. I would rather have it and take the chance that it might work than not have it at all.
I am a whimp!! I did give birth naturally to a big baby. When the pain was getting too extreme, I was in active labor and was given an epidural which is a miracle drug. :)
Is the tummy tuck pain cramp/achy feeling (period like?) or is it as bad as child birth?
I have been following some of the ladies getting TT one is getting it with dr shifrin. However he didn't use exparel on her but something similar. She said the surgery was very rough. One minute I tell my self I should just do it and another minute I get all scared and say that I can hide this mommy pouch :(
how did you manage the pain with TT?
Did anyone have a surgery with dr shifrin and had exparel?

Scared!! But I Am Ready
Hello ladies ..
I have started a review about two years ago. I chickened out and was too scared to book my surgery.
I kept reading stories and looking at pictures on realself. I am just too unhappy with the way my stomach looks. I figured some downtime is worth it for a life time of happiness (I hope). So I booked my surgery for December 11th. Full tummy tuck (drainless) with MR and lipo to flanks.
I am also paying extra for exparel. Surgery is coming up, I haven’t prepared anything yet.
I read in one of the reviews about a body pillow ? Or something to help with sleeping?
I have a manual recliner, I am not sure if I will be able to use it, as it requires some force to push it back.
I have a sectional with a side I thought I can sleep on with pillows or a special body pillow?
Any suggestions?
What are some of your must have’s?
