I had always wanted to get a tummy tuck, but wasn't sure I would be able to (time to recover, cost, etc.). In early summer I was fortunate enough to have both the time and the money and by August it was scheduled. One of my sister in-laws (who is 40, but looks 22--without looking fake or obvious) had a procedure by Dr. Lepore several years ago and highly recommended him. I checked with a few other cosmetic surgeons in the area, but felt most comfortable with Dr. Lepore's office in the end.
The surgery was difficult to recover from initially. My husband took excellent care of me and we were both surprised how completely dependent upon him I was the first week or so. Week 2 was still rough, but much better and now in early week 5--I am feeling and doing a lot better.
I could not be happier with the results! The job he did was beautiful. I love my new body and haven't been this proud of my figure since pre-first pregnancy in 1989. Truly far better than I could have ever imagined! I highly recommend Dr. Lepore and will go back in the future for a couple of smaller procedures before I'm through!
