WORTH IT$9,000
Dr. Carlin is amazing. I'm 5 days post op and he has taken very good care of me. I'm 29 with 2 kids. I weigh around 115 lbs. I had a lot of sagging skin , stretch marks , and a messed up belly button from having kids and previous surgeries. I also wanted my breast back to pre mommy look and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor . My sister used him also and my mom is next !
I ended up having 375cc implants along with a Tummy tuck , and lipo .
The day of surgery I was nervous . Dr carlin called me in Valium the night before which helped tremulously ! After surgery I was taken good care of by a nurse named trudy. I went home and dr carlin called me that night and I ended talking to him the next night as well. He is very good about communicating with any concerns you have . All around the experience has not been bad . I would
Do it all over again if I had to !!
I will post pics once I heal :)

I feel a little worse than I was. I think I over did it yesterday. I went to Walmart than to cvs. Oh and had lunch with my mom. I'm so swollen. My love handles are so swollen and I look pregnant. One love handle is bigger than the other I saw my ps today. He told me to start trying to stand up with posture. He also gave me some before pics. I will post some I've been kindof down today because I hate for people to see me as they may think this is my final result and not understand it takes a year to get your final results from a TT.
I just want to stay in hiding. I feel like my scar looks worse than others , however id take the scar any day over my other stomach.
I'm so happy with my BA They look better everyday and very natural when wearing shirts. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend

Hi,
You are looking great. Yes I had skin puckering at incision and it is completely smooth now :). Happy Healing.

Happy healing! Tummy is so flat already. The side handles swelling will go down in time. I usually see almost all of the patients swelling go away 1 month post op. Enjoy your new body, it looks great. Can't wait to see more progress.

Thank you so much. ! Today seems better. I don't feel as swollen. Of course at night it's the worse. I finally see kith at the end of the tunnel. !

Congrats. Swelling can take a few months to go away. You look good though. Can't wait for my tt

I just looked at your profile ! You will look amazing. Not much longer :).
I had went to see the doc and scheduled mine three weeks later. It's good your preparing.

I went in May of 2014 not doing any research and scheduled my TT and BA 3 weeks later. So I wasn't prepared. ;). I did get my mind set ready for the pain.

Ok. I've been researching for a while. I have a 5 yr old and was stretched and deflated from that but I knew I wanted 1 more baby which I had last yr. Then in the fall I started seriously researching although had done minor researching before. Was gonna get just a tt, then tt & ba together. Decided on ba first and tt I'll be doing in January

Awesome ! I can't wait to see the results ! What size did you go with on your BA. ? I did 375 cc

Day 9 post op
Today I woke up and felt great. My stomach was so flat. However towards the end of the day it got huge. Especially after I ate. My drainage tube barely has any fluid in it I'm praying it will come off Monday. I went on a little boat ride today. I feel back to normal almost except for the little pains here and there. In the morning it's hard. I'm just still freaking out about how big my love handle looks and we did lipo on it. Trying to be patient ....... In my last pic you can see how big my belly was. I looked like I did 5 months pregnant .

Hey looking into your doctor for a tummy tuck. I was wondering if you could remember did your love handles ever go down? If so how long?
