Dr. Pyle is a wonderful, caring doctor- his office staff, most especially Jessica and Molly, are so dedicated and thoughtful. I could not have had an easier time, truly, and that's really saying something considering that I was from 'out of town'. The worst part of my experience was my ride home. I am still very swollen, so more pics to follow.
I wasn't looking for perfect, but Dr. Pyle's other TT patients just had results that looked so natural and a lovely shape. Some of the local surgeons I had looked at had very noticeable scars, their shape was not as pleasing and they did not offer a drainless procedure.

My before pic- pretty horrendous stretch marks. And an umbilical hernia. Courtesy of my 10.6 lb son, 22 yrs ago. Been hiding my tummy since. Odd because I'm so small (size 0), people never dream of the mess that's hidden beneath my clothes. But, Heavens! So painful to look at!
I'm 4'11", 116 lbs and I wear a 32 DDD. (Breast reduction coming soon, lol) I have a lot of work to go, but I'm not aiming for perfection. That's totally impossible after this damage, but I'm hoping for an improved silhouette and to eliminate the hanging skin pouch, maybe lessen the extent of my stretch marks?

Hoping that he got enough off that I'll be happy, if not, we will another done in a couple of years.
After what I lived with for 22 years, I'll probably be thrilled, lol- I'm not chasing perfection.

Wow! You look amazing!!! What a great difference. You have a perfect hour glass figure!! I just got my tummy tuck done and excited to see how it turned out. I also can't wait to follow your journey to watch your progress.
Breast reduction? That it so funny I just got my boobs done to try to achieve your look! Lol I wanted a D to DDD. I may have gotten it but can't tell yet. Do yours sag? Or do you just not want that size because of pain etc...? I think you look fabulous. :) but we all like different things. Lol! :) Anyway I hope you enjoy your new tummy! Happy healing!

Thank you! So kind of you to say- I'm still incredibly self-conscious of the stretch marks. Hoping it will lessen in the coming weeks.
I've had really big breasts since I was 12, so mine do sag a bit- although, admittedly, not much for being that size naturally. They are still quite pretty, and I'm so thankful since my belly was so horrible. Not sure if I'll get a lift without implants or a reduction yet. I don't have any pain - I'm really active and I've been doing hot yoga daily for three years. Jogging during warm weather. Mostly, it's just for my self esteem. I want my breasts to be higher, but I'm not sure if I'd really be happy with small breasts. Maybe a 32D would be nice? That way strapless bras wouldn't be such a disaster, lol?
Hoping you've done a review, Sabrina? I'd love to follow your journey as well...hoping your recovery is going well!

Yes, you are going to keep looking better and better. I'd wait on your breasts until you absolutely have to get a lift or reduction. (That's just my opinion of course! ) :) if you can still exercise and they aren't getting in your way then wear them with pride! They are beautiful, talk about a perfect body! I always wanted your stats, I am finally ok with who I am but I get that we are our own worst nit picky judgers... still, so jealous! Lol! :)
I will keep following your progress! It's so super exciting!

Swelling going down...
ARTSYGURRLJanuary 14, 2017
Swelling is going down, feeling a bit better. I've been doing a bit more for myself. I can make myself stand up straight, but my entire abdomen is soooo tight. The tape is holding on for dear life, it seems, so I've not really seen the incision bare yet.

I would really love to have a tummy tuck with him. Would love to see pictures without your garment when you are ready. Thanks!

Next time I shower, I'll post one. I know I'm still going to have some stretch marks in my moms area, because mine were so bad- but it's fantastically improved. I've done yoga, daily, for three years now, on top of weight training and jogging - with clothes on, I looked great and small. But the minute the yoga pants came off -that horrible tummy emerged! Yuk!
You should contact him! Seriously, he's so wonderful. I traveled almost nine hours to have my surgery, stayed in NC with him for a week(Aloft Hotel -they were awesome, too). My consult and everything pre-op was done via email, phone and my local Labcorp. I met him the day before surgery, but his staff was unbelievable- fast and super attentive. Could not have been easier- I'm so very thankful!

You'll notice at week 2-3 that it will loosen up alot. You will have to try to walk a little bit more though!
January 15, 2017
Jem- hoping so. The weather has been so bad here, so no walking outside, and I only have an elliptical at home. Can't use that yet.
