I am 41yrs old 4kids. The older I have gotten by tummy and so many stretch marks looks awful. After seeing a friend after her tummy tuck and how great she looks maybe decide to have the procedure. Now that it is getting close the more scared I am. The pain afterward the recovery time the complications not waking up. Having so much mind racing!! Haven't gotten much sleep past few days sometimes wanting to cancel the procedure or doctors canceling. Not knowing how I will feel after waking up. I am an emotional roller coaster happy sad excited so scared! Help! I need some encouragement .

Thank you for the encouragement . My surgeon has postponed my surgery due to ulcer in stomach. But with the care my surgeon has showed me I am so excited now for my surgery he has made my feel very secure and that I am in great hands.

Finally had my procedure After being postponed. I in 19 days post recovery. It is taking me A bit longer still have drains in and in some pain. It is worse in the morning getting up. I do not have any regrets about my decision to get the procedure.
I had emergency surgery 2weeks prior which I was still recovering from.
Dr. Schwartz has been amazing through out the whole process. He help me get help before and was great to get back to me when I had questions and concerns.

420 cc extra high profile implants - Skeptical but starting to love these

At my initial consultation, I was very unsure of where I wanted to be, sizewise. I wanted to be a D cup, natural slope, but some fullness and roundness, and to correct mild ptosis without having to have a lift. I consulted several docs before deciding on one that I was comfortable with. We discussed what I wa...
