I have wanted a tummy tuck for 5 years since getting too big in pregnant with my son. I went in for a consultant in February and left with my surgery booked. Her staff made the experience really enjoyable. I have had complications, however I would do it again in a heart beat. She still working with me to help me completely heal!

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

Completely understand I don't have many pictures right now since I have had fat necrosis on my side for the past month. Only things I knew of a tummy tuck was what I read online. If it hadn't been for the great experience at the doctor I might have chickened out. I see lots of pictures that look bloody and scary, which the way I look after surgery was very neat and clean. What I had manifested in my head was nothing compared to the results I had of my surgery....they were far better. I will get some pictures from my doctor from before, I deleted everything because I'd really did not want to see it.

My tummy tuck update

jeanwean03
I am still in love with my new tummy. I finally had my side drained and a month long fight with a bacterial infection in my side. I had fat necrois that my body just couldn't break down. It has been really painful, but I am healing. This infection hurt worse then my tummy tuck did, since it felt like my side was going to explode at any minute. The doctor has been in constant contact with me with lab results to make sure I am alright and its is feeling better every day. It was still worth all of this pain for my results, might sound vain, but I love my new tummy!

Big thanks to Dr. Chris Trahan for helping me while my doctor was out of town. Him and his staff held my hand while I was crying in pain.
