I had a very severe ventral hernia and was a mini tummy tuck candidate, I was blessed with a PS who was compassionate and skilled. I essentially ended up with a full TT. I traded two ugly scars for one and am very happy so far with my result. I also had some liposuction. I still cry when I look in the mirror but not sad tears happy ones. He worked with a General surgeon. Both got a huge smile and hug. Bad part pain is intense still long slow road and this or any surgery should be taken serious. My PS met with me many times and communicated what he felt he could or could not do. Communication on expectations is key and you must be clear what you want and what they can do

I had spoke with Dr Kelly assistant during a post op visit about my excess skin or uneven result that was starting to show, she replied it was fat around my organs. Dr kept assuring me I was going to get a full tummy tuck benefit. I ended up in ICU getting blood and later found out no Cross Stitch as promised was done and my stomach bows out above my ugly new belly button. I even paid for liposuction to try to fix uneven results only to realize it was excess skin on my left side. Dr was approved to do a Breast Reduction on me by my insurance as well. But when returning for post op on the lipo and Laser he informed me he decided to move to Florida to practice. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise .
