Dr Schulman is knowledgeable , the best in what he does and has a warm demeanor. I felt comfortable with him from the moment I met him. His reviews are impeccable! Dr. Schulman is AMAZING! Over the years I have met with doctors for consults but after meeting Dr Schulman I knew he was the right Dr for me . I'm 60 years old ,so although I wanted my pouch gone, I was concerned about the down time . Dr Schulman suggested we do his "Smooth Tuck" because it allowed me to be rid of the pouch and have lipo of the stomach and flanks with minimal down time. During the consult I never felt rushed and Dr. Schulman took the time to answer all of my questions. Before and after surgery I knew he was there for me and felt completely comfortable and safe. I can not say enough kind words about Dr. Schulman . He is a skilled board certified plastic surgeon who truly cares for his patients . His pricing is a little more than most but you get what you pay for . I wanted the best and that's what I got ! Thank you Dr.Schulman you made my dream come true !

You look great! Did you have a mini tummy tuck?
No .. I had a smooth tuck . It was created by Dr Schulman . Skin removal and extensive lipo with no muscle repair . I feel awesome ... it's only 4 months out. He said I will see full results in 6-12 months. That's crazy because I already love what I look like If you don't have a board certified plastic surgeon, you need to meet with him . He and his complete staff are awesome .❤️
Wow you look amazing! Im gettung a bbl with Dr. S. IN 3 WEEKS! lol do you have any suggestions on the surg process in general?
Yes, I prepped and went with what ever the Dr suggested . After spending as much as I did , I wanted to give my body the best for its healing process . My thoughts were not to skimp on anything . I bought the cream and the arnica and bought vitamins etc . I purchased antibiotic cream and gauze in the event ... make sure you have someone to help out . The 1st few days you may need them . Also I purchased a mattress cover ( waterproof) in the event of leakage and lot of comfy baggy clothing . You your head right ... positive energy ! I was in such a good place, I wasn't worried at all ... not even when I was on the take bout to be put under . I knew I was in good hands . You will be fine ! You have chosen well . Dr Schulman is awesome . I am considering going back for a bbl in the fall . Keep me updated feel free to touch base any time. Be well

I am 60 yrs old and have had a pouch from surgery...

I am 60 yrs old and have had a pouch from surgery for over 30 years . I have researched doctors but didn't want a tummy tuck . When I met Dr. Schulman he suggested I do a " smooth tuck" instead of a tummy tuck because of the faster recovery time. The surgery went well and I was back to work in a month It's been a little over 3.5 months since surgery and I love my body. Please contact me for the particulars .

did you have drains ? I too have had a pouch thanks to 3 abdominal surgeries. I feel this is my last 1/4 of my life and why not go for it but I'm wondering if it is worth it.
Yes , I had 1 drain . Honestly , anytime is go under the knife it can be scary and my 1st thought what the heck did I do . Here it is months later and it was so worth it . I feel so good about my body . No more trying to find clothes to hide it or God forbid trying to be or act sexy with a pick hanging . It will be worth every penny you spend . But do your homework ! Dr Schulman was amazing . I am not sure where you live but it would be worth you checking him out . I followed his surgeries on snap chat for sometime before I actually had mine . Feel free to ask anything
What have you decided ?
Fabulous! ❤️
Hi Tummy2015! I am looking to have the same surgery. My biggest concern is down town. When do you feel like you could go back to daily activities? Thank you!
