I had an old tummy tuck that needed to be revised. The original scar was almost up to my waist and the additional skin around my stomach was driving me crazy. On top of that my breasts were flacid and had no shape!

A scar up to your waist, oh my! I'm glad you were able to get your TT revised. How was your recovery the second time compared to the first?

Not sure if you recall Dr. Lopez....from NJ....then caught in Orlando?? Not Board Certified ...horror stories...luckily nothing happened to me. But I had a horrible tummy tuck scar and rabbit ears. I had also developed necrosis when I first got the tummy tuck. I did my homework with Dr. Cortes. Amazing doc that made me feel awesome after my initial nightmare. He must be good if I was able to go under and trust him after what had happened to me!

I am so sorry ....I had not been in here for quite some time. I am getting ready to get additional lipo and a brazilian butt lift with Dr. Cortes and I wanted to post my experience as I truly enjoy everyone else's story. Dr. Cortes did my tummy tuck so low and did lipo on my "pubic mound" making me look awesome. I did have a minor complication with my belly button healing, but I am the worst when it comes to healing....I keloid easily. Nonetheless, this doctor took care of me even and gave me personal attention. I am very happy with my results. I did, however gain about 30 lbs...lol...since 2011.....so in I go again ;). But I have to say....my waist size never changed ....! Go for it...a good doctor will make sure it is safe.....and talk to you about what to expect.

So you gained 30 lb and your waist size never changed? That's amazing! Did you gain weight in the belly though?
