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.

Pros -improved body image after having two...

Pros
-improved body image after having two children
-stomach muscles are repaired so less pressure on back
-improved sex life with hubby
Cons
-recovery time and pain with tummy tuck
-numbness still remains across stomach almost a year later
-very large scar with a tummy tuck

Make sure if you have small children at home that they have someone else to help care for them for a few days post op. You really need a few days to recover from the surgery.

One of the hardest things to do after a tummy tuck was trying to get out of bed. I would roll to one side and pull myself up using the bed post.

Remember to watch what you eat post op so you don't gain weight.

Getting a mommy makeover was one of the best things I could do for myself. If I had to do it over again, I totally would in a heart beat. I feel so much better about my body. I love my kids but growing a human or two can really take a toll. If you are wanting to get this procedure done I would recommend extensively researching your surgeon and look at his before and after gallery.

I would highly recommend Dr. Joe and his staff. They are professional and personable from beginning to end. I have never met such a down to earth and easy to talk to surgeon in my life. He answered questions in detail without talking over my head. Dr. Joe and his staff make sure your experience with Plastic Surgery Innovations is positive from the first consult to the final check up. My results are fantastic!
