I am so happy I made the decision to get a tummy tuck after what had happened to me! I am sure my results are because I went to such a great doctor! I also stuck to a healthy lifestyle and religious workout routine! I have my abs back after a lot of hard work!! yay!! My dr was amazing and stood by me throughout the whole process! Also my scars are unseen in the littlest bikinis. I’m so grateful that I found Dr Marin! I have also seen him recently to replace my large implants for smaller ones and they fit my body so much better! They are still healing, but they are looking great! He is absolutely the best Dr!

So awesome!!!! I read your review before my corrective surgery and it gave me so much hope! I was praying for an outcome like yours and I'm so happy to say the tummy tuck fixed the botched liposuction I had. I loved reading about your journey. How is your scar now? Barely noticeable? You look so amazing!!! Glad you had a happy ending.

Thank you!
My scar is barley noticeable. Its hidden well under a string bikini and is very light in color. The vertical scar right below my belly button is just a little line now and also blends well into where my muscle definition is. Im very happy to hear the tummy tuck had fixed your botched lipo as well :) Thank you for following my journey! I'm praying that your journey also ends with the outcome you hope for!

Update- Things are going great since my tummy tuck. I’m so grateful to Dr Marin and his team for getting me back into a bikini! I never thought I’d ever wear one again, especially after the botched situation I had to deal with. Dr marin truly saved my tummy! With that being said I think it’s important to also include a good diet, a healthy lifestyle, as well as exercise program before and after any procedure! I will highly recommend and return to Dr Vincent Marin (San Diego) for any future procedure needs!

I had a similar issue..lipo that turned my tummy into an uneven mess. I'm going back to my same surgeon to get a tummy tuck.
