Bulges!

Dr. T’s team is very experienced, you’ll know you’re in good hands.
Although he did an amazing job on my tummy... unfortunately I still have some bulges left...
We started to see a bulge below my belly button on my right side and also, my muscles have been bulgy below my breast...
At first, the bulge below my belly button created a bit of tension between us because the doctor didn’t know what may have caused it... After an ultrasound and also some drainage, I was told the that maybe there’s fat that needs to be lipo’ed which is why I may have that bulge.
The bulgy muscles he said might be the cause of weak muscles. I’m not a doctor so I am a bit hesitant to say this but I feel since he was able to see my muscles from the inside, I believe he may have been aware this was going to happen because my belly has this weird “bulgy, then flat, then bulgy on one side shape”...

Was the doctor able to correct the bulges?

Unfortunately no because I was told the Doctor might need to open me up again to see why the bulges are there.
He said the bulges may have been created because I have weak muscles...

PCOS Affected Really Flat Buttocks

Hello there Realselfers!

So yesterday I had a Tummy tuck, liposuction and also a Butt lift (I have a review done about my Tummy tuck). Well let me tell you, I used to call my butt The Great Wall of china because I had a really flat but which had dents and also my love handles were really big which badly affected my body shape.  After consulting to Dr. T, I was told I will have a lipo done on my bra rolls, love handles and also my sides and then that fat will be transferred to my buttocks filling in the dents and also giving it a shape.  Although I just had the procedure done yesterday, I am loving his job. He grafted 1050cc of fat and besides that HE DID A WONDERFUL JOB ON MY BODY! I will be updating as I recover. Dr. T and his staff is a wonderful team!

I HAD MY TUMMY TUCK, AND LIPO DONE TODAY! AND I’M SUPER EXCITED WHICH IS WHY IM WRITING THIS REVIEW.

So after a year of research and consultations, I finally came across Dr. Taranow.  Due to my 11 months difference pregnancies, I was left with: •Diastasis recti (separated muscles) •large stretch marks •a lot of loose skin  Therefore I finally decided I want a Tummy tuck which is the only solution to all three at once.  It is not just a sudden decision or something that can be done as quick as a routine check up. There is a lot of homework to do. Fortunately he is a board Certified Surgeon with 23+ years of experience and has a WONDERFUL STAFF. These people REALLY KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PATIENTS. Dr. T himself is a wonderful person. I called him several times today and he was more than happy to answer all my questions. Well I went in at 8am (can’t remember the exact time but almost 8) and was out by about 1:45pm and in the recovery room. The Nurse is a Sweetheart. And so is Beatrice who helped me from the beginning of my Pre Ops until I stepped out of the office after the surgery. RESULTS: My stomach is FLAT and I can reassure my readers that it will be super flat after the garment is removed?. I can continue writing about Dr. T and his wonderful staff but I will stop here.  I ALSO HAVE A BUTT LIFT REVIEW COMING UP!
