WORTH IT$10,000

After having twins the first time, 6 years ago, I was determined to have the full tummy tuck done to have my body back the way it was. However, after research and most of all having scared to death about the procedure, I postponed it until after I had my 2nd set of twins. This time I really did it. Eventhough, I am not happy about the results but I thought it was the right decision to make. Although, I need to emphasize it's the right decision if and only if you choose the right surgeon. I'm in process of searching for another doctor to revise the work and to give me back my body before.

I am sorry that you didn't get the results you expected.  That is disappointing :(

Keep doing your research and I know you will find the correct doctor.  There are a lot of good docs out there so keep looking and interviewing at least three more. 

You will find endless information on RealSelf that will help you in your search. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Kimmers25! I wish that I found this website a year ago. I did see at least 10 surgeon and picked the doc that I thought the best. I regret of not checking the internet before. I found myself hooked on reading comments from people every night. I'm seeing at least 2 docs per week. The bad thing is even some docs post here as "free consultation" but as soon as they hear i had a tt done already, they charge me for the fee and I don't really know why? I'm sure when the actually do the work, it'd be harder for the tissue healing and opening up the same scar, etc... but more for consultation fee? I found that bizzard. But I really appreciate your thoughts and kindness! Thx!

This is a fantastic site and very helpful for patients.

Yes that is strange???  A consult should be a consult no matter what you have or have not had done?  

You should ask that question in the doctors Q&A section on the site.  Also post your picture there for them to see.  You my get some responses.

Every Doctor in here encourage patients like us to go back and talk to your surgeon but I certainly don't think so. All you could get is just a run around and being intimidated. I will post after surgery pictures.

Dr. Nguyen, Thuan in Fountain Valley, California. The funny thing is the doctor who supposes to fix his bad work is his friend also. Hopefully, he's much better than his buddy.
