Over a year now!
WORTH IT$8,200
It’s really hard to believe that this time last year, I was still in full-blown recovery mode. As you will read above, my recovery took forever or so it felt. Here’s the latest picture enjoying my new bikini body on my pool deck. Still totally worth it!

Tummy Tuck at 40
Dr. Brooks was very direct, but also very kind about expectations. I did my research ahead of time so I was crystal clear on the fact that the better shape I was in, the better my results would be. Why spend the money if I wasn't going to get EXACTLY what I hoped for? He did an amazing job and I couldn't be happier with my results. In addition, his PA's were awesome and never made me feel like my zillion questions were stupid. I did see another doctor in the area for a consult, but felt he had a greater understanding of my expectations. The other doc was not even going to lipo my flanks which would have really messed up the whole end result. Dr. Brooks understands the big picture and wasn't "up-charging" me on any additional procedures. He said lipo'ing the flanks is just part of his everyday TT as it gives more of a contouring shape. His office staff was also very nice and I always felt welcome. He is the go-to PS in Western Mass in my opinion!

Your experience and long-term review is encouraging and helpful. I love that you wrote so much detail in how you were feeling throughout your journey. I found I could relate to a lot of what you said in your posts. You look absolutely amazing and flat! I can’t wait to get back to doing regular exercise. I walked 6.5 km yesterday and again today, which felt so good although my stomach is now sore, especially my upper belly where MR was done.
Recovery is so much of a mental challenge, and throws so many curve balls day to day or week to week, it’s easy to get frustrated, especially if it ends up in setbacks. I can’t wait to get back to full normalcy and feel as good mentally as the progress I’m seeing in the mirror. I also can’t wear half the clothes in my closet because of swelling and/or residual pain from MR or tightness, and having to wear bulky compression garment. That has me down a bit for sure, especially because it’s summer. It won’t be long before winter is back where I am (Canada).
I’m encouraged by your progress over the year, knowing it’s going to get better and life will return to normal someday.
I wish you all the best.
Take care and continue to enjoy your new and fabulous figure!

So glad to help. I started this diary of sorts just to help other people. Plus, it is encouraging when you look back and see how far you have come. How many weeks are you postop? I keep saying this summer is my do over summer because last summer was really a wash. Still totally worth it though. You will get there soon and this recovery process will be a distant memory.

One year post op-Sculptsure
As part of my real friends program, I’ve been offered to try Sculptsure. I’ll be starting a separate review if interested. Had my consult today and the staff was extremely nice. First treatment on inner thighs next week.

Can’t wait to hear how it goes for you!!!! What day next week? I hope I’m alerted to your new review about it. Don’t know how I missed your other post

Yes I had mine on the 16th of this month. I had my R flank and both hips done. I have a review although it’s not near as detailed as some. But I did put measurements from the day after and I will put more up soon to compare!!
