I have 2 boys. A 19 year old and a 12 year old and do years I have been contemplating tummy tuck because my belly button was destroyed after my first pregnancy. The stretch marks above it were so disgusting for me to look at. I am pretty thin but that pouch under the belly button was also something that I couldn't stand. I made to finally go to a consult in July with Dr Hochstein and after meeting with him I decided I did not need to see any other doctor and booked my tummy tuck on the spot for November 6, 2014 (today). The staff was amazing and he knew exactly what I wanted and needed as soon as I showed him my belly. I was referred to him by a couple of friends who used him for their breast and everyone just bragged about what a true artist he was when it came to making your body close to perfect. So I went in this morning. I had to be there at 7:45 to prep and the surgery started promptly at 8:30am. This staff is just so professional whe it comes to punctuality and helping you through such a nerve wracking day. At 10am I was woken up by the nurse in recovery and went home at 11am. I have to say that I am only 6 hours post op and I honestly do not have any pain. There is definitely discomfort but I have been up and walking every 2 hours as they suggested and I feel fine. I don't feel drugged up or foggy. Anyone going in for a TT MUST get the pain pump! This is what I believe has me feeling pain free. The nurse gave me a percosit while I was in recovery and luckily that did not knock me down like I thought it would. If I had to do this again, I would do it without any hesitation.

Did you travel to see him for the surgery? I've heard nothing but good things about your Dr. I'd love to see you before and afters. Please post pics.

I live in Miami so no I did not have to travel. He is truly amazing by the work I've seen he's done. I will definitely be posting the before pics soon and will take some on Saturday when I can remove the binder. What state are you in?

You are very fortunate to live in Miami. I am in Utah and the regional look of a tummy tuck here is not good. I will definitely be traveling for my surgery so I am trying to learn everything I can about the recovery process. He is the only surgeon that I have seen have consistently good results. I can't wait to see your photos please keep us posted on your recovery as well.
