After having for children and breast-feeding for about eight years total, I was quite excited to go through a mommy makeover to reconstruct my abdomen and breasts.
I met with several surgeons and immediately liked Dr. Darrow. He was honest about the results I could expect and felt very at ease during the appointment. His pricing was also very reasonable compared to other doctors I spoke with. I was excited to book my procedure.
The waiting was difficult, but my surgical date was finally yesterday. I chose to spend the night in the facility which was such a great idea. I was the only patient there and had a one on one nurse, Kat. She was absolutely wonderful. She let me rest and make sure I was given medication on time. She also was lovely to chat with and was just such a nice person.
The entire surgical team was wonderful. Dr. Keene, the anesthesiologist, had such a jolly nature and really put you at ease right away. He explained everything ahead of time and was just great.
Dr. Darrow checked in after the surgery, also in the evening before he left the office, and first thing when he arrives the next morning. All of my questions were answered at all times.
I had been really worried after reading many of the reviews on here about pain in recovery, but so far, things have been OK. I understand the next couple of days maybe the worst but so far I am doing very well!! I have taken 5 g oxy every 4 hours and diazepam for muscle spasm every 6, plus tylenoL. All seems well so far!
I’ll post pcs when I can take more, but these are the before pics & immediately after.

Everything looks good! I just had a tummy tuck with muscle repair January 27, so six weeks out. It gets better and better every week. I'm also documenting my journey. I did not do the breasts. Happy healing!

Got a shower today and feel like I’m turning a corner in recovery. While yesterday I slept most of the day and was on 5mg oxy plus diazepam, today I’ve been on Tylenol only, 1000 mg q 6 hours. I’m uncomfortable but wouldn’t say in pain.
Showering was tricky and I did need help especially getting back into my garment. Lots of bruising and I’m mostly sore at my incision site and my lower back, which is very bruised.
