Dr. Straka and his staff are wonderful. They have prompt communication and excellent bedside manor. I originally consulted with Dr. Straka in 2006 but I wasn't 100% sure I was done having children. Well now 2015 I went back to him after consulting with 2 other PS in the area... I was drawn to Dr. Straka. His prices were better too. I plan on getting a breast augmentation in the near future with him. Need to recover and enjoy my TT results first!! If you are looking for a wonderful PS he is the one!

Yolk Iooking good...I was wondering what your thoughts are on cool sculpting. I was thinking about that or smart lipo in office. Now I've read vaser is the best type of lipo. I want to do it with local . I had a full tummy tuck last year with no lipo. But I was left on even on the hips doctor said I need lipo to smooth it out but at first he said dog ears.

I'll be using the same PS and would like to follow you. I've tried to add you on Instagram but your profile is private. I would love to be able to ask questions as I start to recover here in the next couple of weeks. Surgery scheduled 1.7.16

11, 12 and 13 weeks post op!

Been MIA from realself. Hope everyone is doing well in healing!

I have been back to full exercising since a few days after the 12 week po mark. By full exercise I mean I have now added abs into my workout routines. Was nervous at first but listening to my body.

Scar is smooth and flat. Lighter in some spots darker in others. Still using vitamin e and cocoa butter. Scar strips were a fail for me. I plan on asking for a scar compound rx at my next followup visit...

You look amazing! How is your swelling and are you still wearing your CG?
Thanks! Swelling is minimal. Not wearing a cg anymore. Wear the binder at night only if I've had a crazy busy day.
