After years of avoiding the mirror at all cost I finally had a tummy tuck and Lipo! I almost convinced myself to just stay the way I was. After all I am 55. I am so glad I didn't listen to myself! I don't think my tummy was this flat when I was five! I hated the way it looked so much I didn't even take before pictures. Now I can't wait to be able to buy cute panties and a swimsuit and look normal in them! I haven't felt this good in over 40 years! Don't let being in your fifty's stop you! I am so happy and something I never heard, my hubby says I now have an hourglass figure. Really? Had to make sure he was talking about me .

I hear you girlfriend; I myself am 51, and I am currently doing my due diligence to locate a PS here in Atlanta GA to perform an abdominoplasty w/lipo of flanks and mastoplexy w/ implants. I believe I have located said surgeon. I am just working up the courage and the funding to go forward. I had the gastric bypass 10 years ago, and have lost 172 lbs, but the loose skin is driving me insane. Your comments are an inspiration to me, I congratulate you on your success. Wish me luck!

Good Luck! You will look and feel amazing! It's worth every penny ! I'm not gonna lie I was scared to undergo surgery from fear but I felt safe with Dr. Chopra. Do your research and find a great surgeon and don't look back! I am almost at 4 weeks post op and just a few days away from not having to wear a compression belt. Be careful and don't do to much after surgery because you can get really sore. Best wishes on your journey!

I'm thinking of using Dr. Chopra also for my MMO. How was your pain and did u stay overnight at their facility? Im debating between him or Dr. John Diaz Beverly hills. Thx!

You won't be disappointed! Dr Chopra was the best! I did stay over night and they controlled my pain. Been 12 weeks now and I still can't believe this is my belly when I look in the mirror. I didn't post pics because I didn't take before pictures. But if you go to his site you can see he does a wonderful job. I feel like a normal person, was always holding my stomach in(as much as possible) and now I don't have to, that's the best part. Dr Chopra took before pics, if I can get a copy on my next appointment I will post before and after's

Sounds like we had our procedures done about the same time (11/16 for me). I felt the same about my age and guilty after wards for a few weeks anyway! Feels so great to have a flat tummy though but 8 or so weeks I was over the moon. Still a few things to fix but still thrilled. giving it a few months before making corrections. Wish I had more lipo done (he just did bio area and it's still a bit lumpy to me, maybe it's sweeling though. Anyway, am thinking I'll do flanks and thighs this summer when getting the revision done. (Haven't told the husband yet-lol) Still surprised at 54 I want to do all this but I'll tell you, I feel so much younger now. I didn't used to even look at my naked body in the mirror and now I can't stop! It's a worthwhile investment, and damn it, we deserve it!
