Four years later, still loving my results!
Three years later and still ZERO Sit-ups and ZERO Regrets!
I have yet to do a single sit-up and cardio is honestly what seems to make my stomach muscles show up more! There are definitely some core strengthening exercises that I do, but not that often! I don’t do any planks, or anything that I feel would put a lot of pressure against the internal stitches. But I was never told I could not do those exercises. Honestly I just haven’t felt it necessary.
If anyone is on the fence about the surgery, feel free to ask me questions. It was definitely the encouragement of the ladies on this website that helped me move forward and I am so very thankful I did!! I will say my biggest piece of advice is be at your goal weight and fitness level! You will get your best results that way. Read other’s stories, for me knowledge was power in knowing what to expect. I knew patience was going to be key with this recovery and didn’t try to rush anything. It has truly been life changing and I have no issues with the long scar or numbness bothering me - don’t get me wrong they exist but it’s a non issue for me as far as being concerned about it.
Two years post!! Still so happy!!
Provider Review
Dr. Stokes and his staff have been professional from consultation to after surgery and I highly recommend him. He is board certified with numerous attributes and you can tell right away he is very skilled in his profession. He and his nurses said more than once that the full abdominoplasty is his favorite surgery. He doesn't over-promise, gives all the information in a way that is easy to understand and shows great competence. His nurse Tina is awesome! She gives you her personal cell phone number after surgery and quickly responds to emails and texts. The entire staff at Pinehurst Surgical Center Plastic Surgery is friendly, reassuring, and helpful. I have had nothing but a positive experience and can definitely say this surgery was worth every penny.
