You look great!! Your before wasn't bad either after 5 kids but I know we all have our own expectations for our bodies. Happy healing!!
Thank you...I hated all that skin and nothing I did would get rid of it. You look really good too and your progress is very fast.
Thank you! I completely understand. I had some loose skin as well. I'm amazed at how good all of Dr Cochran's incisions look.
Yes I'm so glad it's so low. I have seen some really bad incisions by other Dr's that are too high, crooked etc. I feel really bad for what some people are going through. I felt truly blessed that everything went ok.
Yep! Same here..I'm so grateful I found him
You look amazing!! He did great work!
Thank you! Yes he is really good.

I had Tummy Tuck, small Lipo and Muscle Repair. Overall the experience was not bad. My C-section was more painful. Although I worked out for almost 2 years before my Tummy Tuck. I am almost a month out....about 3 1/2 weeks and I feel great! I've had no problems swelling, I'm walking upright, no pain and ready to hit the gym again. I've been taking Bromelain twice a day, I think that helps. I drink protein shakes, take Vitamin C, iron pills and One a Day women's vitamins. I just wear a girdle and a waist trainer over it. The waist trainer over the girdle allows my stomach to produce sweat which I also thinks reduces my swelling. My incision is healing wonderfully, I haven't put anything on it. Dr C is like don't waste your money on anything so I'm not sure what scar treatment I'll use if any. Maybe scar strips on my sides later. I'm just waiting on my Bbutton to completely heal...which is doing great...then I'll be in my half shirts lol. Overall I'm truly blessed and Dr Cochran did an excellent job and God made it all possible.

I'm sooooooo happy for you!!! You look GREAT and I can't wait for my time!! Congrats!!
Thanks you will do fine and your results will be great. You don't have much skin, I had a lot of skin with 5 kids. Don't worry about the anesthesia I didn't feel anything. As soon as she stuck me I went right to sleep, woke up peacefully. The first day is so easy.
Thank you sooooo much. I don't know how you knew that I needed to hear just that!!! Thanks
Glad to hear everything is going so well!! How was the twilight??
I didn't feel a thing. As soon as she stuck me I was out. She woke me up I was fine it was over. I would prefer this than to be put to sleep. They numb you and give you twilight sedation.
