Reverse Tummy Tuck - finally have my confidence back

Hello real selfers, the one procedure that I needed done the most had barely any reviews on real self. After doing my own research for about a year I finally got the procedure done and was lucky enough to have chosen Dr Maffei to do this procedure - The reserve tummy tuck.

What I had: two previous liposuctions, one done at a very early age and a secondary one to try and fix irregularities and the loose skin that I had, but it did not fix it. It only make matters worse. I am 5’7 and 125 pounds, small frame with loose skin in the abdomen

What I wanted: a tight, youthful stomach without having the traditional tummy tuck scar from hip to hip
To be able to wear crop tops in bikinis.

I did a handful of consultations with other surgeons before choosing Dr. Maffei. I had my mind set on the reversed tummy tuck however, not many surgeons seem to be experienced with doing them. I even had one surgeon tell me I needed to do an entire a tummy tuck along with a fleur de lis (this is where they cut hip to hip and from middle center of the chest all the way down to pubic area). Ladies, if you want to tighten your skin around the abdomen without having the traditional scar the reverse tummy tuck procedure is the way to go don’t let them tell you otherwise.

I flew about 3800 miles to see Dr Maffei, our consultation was great. I was able to do a FaceTime call with him and he answered any questions that I had and also made me feel very confident about the whole procedure. I felt very comfortable making the trip to New York.

Of all the surgeries I’ve done in the past I must say Dr Maffei has the best bedside manner of any surgeon I’ve dealt with. It is absolutely genuine, and he made sure to follow up with me often. Anytime I had a question it was always answered right away. He has a great team of stuff that he works alongside with and his clinic is very clean.

I am about six weeks out from surgery now, and I’ve had no complications whatsoever. I flew home after about five days and my flight was a breeze. Dr Maffei and his staff make sure that I had everything I needed to go home with.

You will see in the pictures, how my stomach originally looked like and what it looks like now what a difference! I finally have my confidence back and don’t have to hide my stomach. I’ve never been happier.

I hope this review helps a lot of you out there who want to tighten the skin around their abdomen and don’t know who to go to or where to start. I was once sitting behind a laptop confused because there were little to no reviews on RealSelf about reverse tummy tucks.

Great experience with Dr Maffei I would highly recommend
