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.

On August 5th, I had an apron tummy tuck with lipo and eyelid lift surgery. I was totally unprepared for the events that followed. Wish I had knowledge of Real Self before I went in. My surgery and recovery would have gone so much smoother. RealSelf is now my favorite site. Total amazement at my transformation. Would go thru it all over again! Hang in their everyone. It's worth it!

I am now 7 1/2 weeks post-op. I wake up flat and beautiful but by noon the swelling starts especially if I've eaten and had something to drink. By mid-afternoon the swelling is more pronounced and by the time I get home from work 6pm, my belly button is flush with my tummy, almost invisible. Not much pain but very tight because the skin is being stretched. Palmers lotion twice a day is relieving the tightness somewhat but new stretch marks are forming. Massaging twice daily. No pockets of fluid rolling around, tenderness at the ends of the scar and across my hip bones. TT with Lipo is serious business but I expect to make a full recovery, just taking a little longer than expected. Some depression and lack of energy still by the end of the day. Starting to climb on my horse but just sitting there. Stomach muscles still feel a little weak. I guess being 60 just slows down the whole healing process. Haven't seen my PS since week 9. Don't feel the need. All this sound ok?

Still swelling by days end after 7 1/2 months post-op. Guess 60 year olds take longer to heal.
