How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Post TT photoes
5 weeks post tummy tuck and lypo on flanks. Feeling great! Now it's back to the gym as I have a lot of toning up to do.
Update on the bump on my incision.
I went and saw my PS yesterday. He said he felt a little fluid surrounding the area on my incision. He said that it was a combination of the start of an infection, a little bit of fat necrosis and fluid. So he made a tiny incision into the bump with surgical scissors and squeezed the fluid out along with lots of blood (good thing I was sitting down). My PS said it would most likely drain for the rest of the day and possibly for a couple days after that. I've been on antibiotics for a few days now and it's been helping.
I was so happy that I didn't have to get aspirated with the huge needle and that my stomach was still very numb so I couldn't feel my Dr. cut into my skin. It's still draining some, but no pain. Dr. said to continue keeping an eye on it but it should all heal up nicely. Feeling thankful :)

Small setback with the healing process
Well, I've developed a small bump on my incision that has now started slowly leaking a yellowish (sometimes with a red tint--blood I assume) fluid. I called my Dr's nurse today and sent her photos which the dr. reviewed. He wants me to come in on Thursday so he can look at it in person and make a diagnosis. Grrrr....I'm praying it's nothing major and just small fluid buildup. The nurse asked if it resembled a waterbed? I don't know...what does a waterbed look like on one's stomach? My stomach is definitely more swollen than it has been in previous weeks. Anyone else going/gone through this? I'm just so bummed!
Provider Review
I felt very comfortable and at ease the minute I met Dr. Van Ye. He had a fantastic bedside manner and explained everything that he would be doing on my body so thoroughly that I didn't have to really ask him any questions. Fantastic surgeon.
