WORTH IT
After having my second child who weighed nearly 10lbs, I had a lot of extra skin and fat and my ab muscles were shot and separated. I tried working out but my saggy skin was always there. After debating going to the mainland and performing the surgery there (to save money on the procedure), I chose Dr. Schlesinger to perform the surgery. He will not accept anything less than perfect and his experience enables him to have a perfect outcome. I was nervous going into the surgery because I was spending a lot and was worried the outcome would not be what I was hoping for. I am almost 2 mons post op and I'm completely happy with the results and he's not even done yet. I can't wait for my ultimate end result and so happy with my decision of picking Dr. Schlesinger. You may have to wait a little bit because he definitely stays busy, but he is most definitely worth the wait. He gives you as long as you need with him and answers all your questions. I can't say enough good things about him. I don't regret anything!

Thank you for sharing your story, so glad you're loving your results so far! I know the community would love to see your before and after's -- would you consider sharing some photos? What has been the most challenging thing about your recovery so far?

Hi! Sorry for the late response. The most challenging part for me was being so immobile for so long. For the first month, every move I made was determined by how it would affect my tummy. I couldn't walk normal for about 3 weeks and was very dependent on other people to help me during that time. It was especially hard at work. I wish I could have taken 3-4 weeks off work. I took 1.5.

Hi! Congrats on your surgery success! Are you doing the 90 day sillouhetteplasty? I am looking at using this doctor, but he is very busy, it's hard to get answers from his staff, but his work seems impeccable!
Do you have before and after pics? Or even ones you could inbox me are fine, if you can! Is recovery smooth?
Thank you for your review.!

Sorry for the delayed response. Recovery was rough. Not going to lie. I couldn't do anything but basically sit in my recliner for a week and read/watch tv. I will post a pic!

And yes to 90 Day silhouetteplasty. At first I didn't think I needed it but now that the swelling is going down I def am doing the 2nd procedure.

What procedures were done.? Did you have liposuction of the flanks, full tummy tuck and muscle tightening? You look amazing!

Yes to all of the above. I will do lipo of the stomach early next year.
