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.

Ok - this review took me 3 years to write but this...
Ok - this review took me 3 years to write but this morning I was at Dr. McCormack's office and I was reminded on how awesome she is (and her staff) so it really motivated me to finally get online and do this.
I'm so happy I made the decision to do this procedure. It has been life changing for me. I went from thinking I was stuck with a mommy tummy for the rest of my life to my current state of being in the best shape I have ever been in at the age of 49 years old. The recovery was pretty easy for me with the worst day being day 3 where I felt extremely nauseous all of a sudden and then it lasted most of the day. I was lucky that my Dr. did not give me drainage tubes and I think that made a world of difference when comparing my recovery to others who have posted on here. My Dr. didn't know if she would be able to do the non-drainage tube route until during the surgery so I went in not knowing for sure. I was so happy when I woke up out of surgery and no tubes!
I did try and get off the pain meds pretty quickly as they made me constipated and just felt yucky on them. I was off them by the 4th day using strong Ibuprofen and was fine with that. Here are some things to think about if you make the decision to do this yourself:
*Make sure you have someone to help you out as you will need help getting in/out of bed and going to the bathroom, walking, showering, etc.
*I took surgery vitamins leading up to the surgery and during the healing process and I think they helped me recover much quicker.
*I did meditation specifically to prepare for surgery and healing leading up to it. I believe it was a podcast or app I found on iTunes. It definitely lessened the anxiety I felt about the surgery and was very calm going into it.
*I used an app on my phone to help me track when to take my meds.
*I was off the pain killers by day 4 as I didn't want to get too constipated so I did take a laxative to help with that.
*The recovery is a long process so just be prepared for that and accept it - it is worth it though!
*I never once regretted it after the surgery - it always looked better than before - LOL! I mean that!
*You will have to sleep on your back - which was very hard for me to do. I just put a pillow under my knees and was at a slight curve with my head up as well.
*For those of you that had c-sections, I thought this was easier for some reason. Maybe because I didn't have an infant to care for too? Anyways this was not at all as painful to me as a c-section.
*I was up walking around immediately because I was afraid of blood clots. I've never had one but was just worried about it.
* I was back to work in a little over a week. I walked around like a little old lady but was still able to work no problem (work is mainly desk job).
*I'll have to post a picture of my scar. I just went to try to do it but my jeans had made an indent so it looked worse. It is actually not bad at all. I use self tanner and put it right to my scar line so you can't see it at all. I'll post one when I wake up in the morning so you can see it more accurately.
I know there is more but I am having a hard time remembering it. Please message me if you have any questions. Like I mentioned above - it was 10000000% worth it to me! I am very very happy with the results and my Dr. and staff was/is amazing!

Provider Review
Dr. Tiffany McCormack and her team are the best. From the time I first met with her to all my follow up appointments, it was nothing but 5-star. My husband was so impressed that the Dr. actually gave him her cell number during the procedure so he could call if needed. She also called him as soon as it was done to let him know how it went - that is customer service! Like I mentioned in my review, this procedure & recovery was actually pretty easy for me and I owe that to Dr. McCormack and her team. Always professional, answering my questions, taking time to make me feel comfortable and very, very responsive to everything. I also go to her office for Botox, fillers, etc. and Susan is just the best at that. I can't recommend her enough!
