WORTH IT
Where do I even begin! For the last couple years I have contemplated having a tummy tuck and breast augmentation done after losing weight with diet and exercise. After doing a lot of research I found out that we had a doctor here in town that did this. Working in the medical field of course I asked around and even reached out to others who have had similar procedures done. Then I made my consultation and surgery was scheduled and three months. I cannot even begin to explain how fantastic this experience has been from my consultation until today which is day 6 of post-op. From the minute I walked in the door of the medical center I was treated with the upmost respect, compassion, and my needs and wants where addressed promptly by Dr. Markelov staff which includes his wife Tatianna! I feel like she is a friend of mine! The staff on day surgery were amazing and attentive! My results so far exceeded my expectations and I feel amazing!! Today was my 2nd post op appt and each appointment I feel better and better! Dr. Markelov is extremely professional and personalable and most importantly he's honest! I would and have recommended him to anybody who is looking to enhance their body.

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and Lipo on 8-1. I am not happy with my flank area and feel like I had no Lipo done even though I know i had some because of the bruising. When I told the Dr. My concerns he said the only way to fully fix it would be to do a lower body lift and he didn't think it would be worth it for me at my consultation. Now almost 9 weeks post op and still not happy he said again he could do the lift in the back with some Lipo but will make my butt even flatter. My apron I'm th4 front is completely gone but should he had done more aggressive Lipo to.my sides????

That's frustrating! I think your stomach looks fantastic and your before and afters are great!! More lipo and contouring is always nice...longer recovery but a nice outcome. Have you by chance gotten a few more opinions from other doctors? I doubt they'd do much until you're farther out but it's nice to see if everyone's on the same page. You do look great but it's tough when you go in with a certain expectation and the muffin top is so annoying. Lol time to rock high waist jeans...no muffin top and they'll show off your flat tummy. Hope your doctor can give you some good answers and options as you continue on your journey! :)

Thank you! I have shown other dr. My photos and they agree that a lower body lift would not be worth it. I already have a flat back side so now I'm thinking of getting fat transferred from my problem areas to my back side....someday. high waisted jeans would be great if I had a butt but mine is so flat I only want to cover it up

3 months post op and I am back to my regular life and work out routine. I just started back up abdominal workout after my muscle repair. My weight is the same as before surgery. I have an appointment in 2 weeks for a revision on the ends of my incisions on my stomach where they poke out. I am still very pleased with the skin removal from the front lower part of my stomach and my breast augmentation. The swelling finally went down and my breast thankfully because At first I felt like they were extremely noticeable which is not the look I was going for but now they have settled and look very natural. I had voiced my concerns in the past about my sides and lipo so I was offered to come in on Monday to see if there is anything they would be able to help me out with to get to my desired goal since I personally feel like I still have a muffin top. Other than that I am 100% happy with the rest and still have no regrets.
