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.

I am 33 years old, and fitness wise, in the best shape of my life. I do CrossFit 4-5 days a week, and love it. After 3 kids though, my diastasis just won't come back together, and my boobs look sad and pathetic. I'm 5'5", 125#. I am scheduled to have a hybrid tummy tuck (b/c I don't have enough extra skin for full TT, but need the full muscle repair) with a hernia repair, breast lift with under the muscle ~250ml gel implants. I want my breasts to look "natural"....not too big! I have help set up for my kiddos (ages 7,5,2) for almost 2 weeks after surgery, and I really hope that will be enough! I am really terrified about how this recovery will go, more than I am worried about the post op pain. I don't want to ruin my surgery, but I know I will have to take care of my kiddos! But overall I am just EXCITED!! No more belly that looks 5 months prego! I can't wait to have a body that reflects all of my hard work accurately!
BEFORE pics
I'm uploading before pics. The first two are with me sucking in, the second two are my faux baby. I have had several people ask how far along I was :(
Love this community!
I have to say I am so impressed with the realself community and the support provided. I contacted my ps after seeing all the posts on here about getting extra support garments. They said that I will be provided with what I need after surgery an then they will let me know after that. I guess that saves me from stocking up on stuff I don't need. I am also thinking I will be able to avoid picking up my 2 year old to put her in her crib by putting a step stool next to it and having her climb in. My 5 and 7 year olds are able to pull her out so they should be able to help with that. Fear of neglecting her is my biggest stress right now. Also I am only telling people about my tt and not about breast Aug. Anyone else take this approach? I haven't even told my mom or mil who will be coming at 6 days post op to help me. Hopefully they will be natural enough that I won't ever have to explain! Yeah right lol.
Provider Review
Dr Houser was awesome from the initial consult. He spent as much time as I needed to answer my questions. Surgery day was a breeze with his entire staff making me feel so comfortable. I can't imagine a better experience. So far my results are awesome! Can wait to see where I am in a few months!
