I had no idea where to start for my search for a plastic surgeon. I don't know anyone that has ever been to one, and I definitely did not want to ask for privacy purposes. I turned to the Internet and found Dr. Alkon. He was the third PS I saw and even before meeting him, I had a feeling he was the one. The thing that turned me on to his practice was all the really positive reviews on Real Self. I'm so glad that I came across him. Dr. Alkon is super smart, attentive, knows what he's doing, and takes his time answering all your concerns and questions. He's done this a million times and knows these procedures like the back of his hand. The hospital staff had nothing but praises for him and just how great he is. I had the fortune of meeting another RealSelfer and she too had a TT done by Dr. Alkon. Again, nothing but positive things to say. The staff at his office is incredible, polite, attentive, and knows what they are doing. I had good vibes from the moment I met them all. For something that is life altering, and pretty scary to under go, I feel blessed for having come across this man. I hope nothing but the best for him and his practice and I'd be more than happy to speak to anyone regarding my experience if they like.

The scar was completely covered minus the side string thing but I honestly didn't care and was not self conscious at all about it. I felt good looked good and was very happy with the way i looked
The little circle scar that is hidden by your bikini bottom strings, is that where the drains were?
Yup they are finally closed and healing but it will be a while. I'm in no rush just happy with the final results
You look absolutely gorgeous!
You look amazing!
