  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

36 year old knew I would need cosmetic surgery to...

36 year old knew I would need cosmetic surgery to fix my stomach .I have a three-year-old and a 17-month-old both of which were big C-sections. I have a very bad hernia and significant muscle separation! I was 4 feet around and only 5 feet tall so my muscles are totally whooped.

I have been researching doctors in the area and he has come up as one of the better ones. The reviews on real self help too! Mark Salzman was a general surgeon and then has 22 years of experience and plastics. I just had my procedure on Monday so I'll keep you posted on everything else!

Post Op 4 days!

As you expect swollen and bruised. I have a little bit of redness on my stomach but I think it's due to some of the stretch marks that were previously there. At this point I'm not sure what's normal (aside from any crazy swelling or pain ) but I know it will take time! I am not having a whole lot of pain in and sleeping great. Is anyone else in their first week of postop?? Would love anything back!

10 days post op!

Yes!! Making progress slowly. Standing up straight. Off pain meds and best news is my blasted drain tube is no more! Big relief. I saw the doctor yesterday and he said everything looks great which made me feel a lot better. I'm swollen and have a hideous incision but my stomach already looks so much better. ???? i'm still taking it easy for the most part, not driving, working from home. I'm going to be extra careful since my hernia was so bad. The doctor said it was one of the worst that he has seen... But that's not surprising when you have an almost 12 lb baby.
