WORTH IT
Dr. Younai is an excellent doctor and I recommend him for any tummy tuck, lipo procedure. Especially if you are plus size. Why? Because he is aggressive with the lipo, and he is an artist when it comes to sculpting the body and he specializes in plus size TT. I researched Dr. Younai for 2 years and after loosing 60 pounds, I was ready to get something done to my stomach. Dr. Younai is very professional, he explained the procedure in detail and answered all my questions. He made me feel so comfortable and took the time to listen to the things I wanted.
The day of surgery 12/17/14, I was nervous but everything went fine. I was so worried about pain but when I awoke in recovery I was in minor pain during that time and for the first 2 days after that I was fine. No pain just discomfortable because everything feels so tight. I did not get sick from pain medication, no body cramps, no issues what so ever. Now I did start a low carb diet for about 8 months before the surgery and I had been exercising for a year cardio and weight training but I was doing those things to loose weight not prepare for surgery. However, I think it helped.
Dr. Younai is the best he took my waist from 48 inches to 32 inches and I'm still swollen right now. He is very compassionate and isn't going to encourage you to get things you don't need even if you think you need them. I highly recommend him as an expert plastic surgeon and encourage you to check him out. Trust me you will not be sorry.
Today is 8 days post and I feel great. Absolutely great and this is my first surgery at 42. If you get this procedure please get a pain pump because it reduces the pain by 60%- 80% and that will help you to feel comfortable and be able to manage your pain.

I am 8 weeks post and so far everything is going well. I had my drains in for 6 weeks which is longer than normal but I got through it and have not been retaining any fluid since they have been removed. So far I have lost an additional 26 pounds since the my surgery and I am very happy with my new look. Thank you Dr. Younai.

You look amazing! How did you manage to loose another 26 pounds in only 2 months? Congrats!

Thank you. I lost additional weight because I am on a low carb diet. I just started exercising last week, running and light weights ( no more than 15 pds) this week. I can tell I am still sore because I am still unable to do a pushup; however, I am able to do modified pushups so I figure something is better than nothing.

Do you mind me asking how much your procedure cost?
March 22, 2015
14,500 which was expensive but he did give me the results I was looking for. I did receive cheaper quotes from other doctors but they did not specialize in plus size tummy tuck and would say they couldn't get me flat or requested I lost more weight so I decided to go with Dr. Younai and not worry about the price.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!! do u have any updates? can u now lift weights etc? no pain whatsoever?
March 22, 2015
I started back exercising about 3-4 weeks. First I started walking then 2 nd week jogging, 3-4 week lifting 8,10,15 pd weights. Now last Thursday I got brave and lifted 20 pds( I was working out for 2 years with a trainer before the surgery) and I noticed that my stomach was swelling more and a little strained so I took a break Fri, Sat and Sun and will begin again on Mon but I won't exceed 15pds again. Not until I wait another 30 days. So far I feel great and love the fact that I can wear half shirts now. I went shopping and purchased size 10 and 12 in pants/shorts. I finally am able to get in Charlotte Russe clothes and boy is that a big saving from Lane Bryant. I also do a lot of cardio running, walking and PX 90 30 min bonus tape given with the Beast workout and I love it.

He charged me a little over 14,000 but he has specials at times. My girlfriend just went in on March 16th, 2016 and her price was about 4,000 less but her stomach wasn't as large as mine. You know you can always apply for care credit which does have 12 months interest free if the amount is paid within a year. Talk with Dr. Younai and explain your situation he is easy to work with for sure.
