Had 4 consults so far. One PS in Albany (he did a botox treatment after my consult...botox results were terrible) who I will not consider having surgery with due to poor botox results and experience. Also met with Dr Schulman in NYC. He recommended I don't need a tummy tuck, just a scar revision surgery with aggressive lipo. I didn't agree with this because my stomach pokes out and I was told by 3 other PSs that I did need a tummy tuck to reshape my abdomen. I also had a consult with Dr Shafer in NYC. He did not have any photos in clinic for me to view. I was very disappointed and will not choose him since he did not have any photos to share with me. The 4th PS I saw was Dr Restifo in New Haven CT. He was amazing, highly trained and his photos of before/after were impressive. I will likely book with him. I still have one more consult to go to with Dr Kolker in NYC. Has anyone had a tummy tuck with any of the above surgeons? Would you recommend them?

Hi! Im going in June for a consult w Dr Kolker for a mommy makeover. My close friend had the same surgery 6 months ago and looks amazing!! Is your consult soon?
Ive had two other consults but based on my friends results and experience i think Dr Kolker will be the Dr I am going with.

Have not seen my belly yet because I was instructed to not remove binder prior to. 3 day PO follow up visit. So far, my experience with Dr Restifo has been wonderful. He even called me both nights after surgery to see how I was doing. Can't wait to peek at the results tomorrow. Whe I have my follow up.
Pain and nausea were bad on the evening of the surgery but are much improved today PO day 2. Pre-op photos enclosed. Pre-surgery weighed 170 lb at 5'6".
