Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

Always been active - athletic build and lost...
Always been active - athletic build and lost weight last year - almost 30 pounds. Had 2 c-sections with my kids and my tum looked distorted for years. Since the weight loss (I'm 5'6" and 155 now) I still have the ugly bubbly tummy. So I decided to do something about it. I thought I needed a TT but the doc said no way and he could "even out" and flatten my belly. He also suggested the pubic area because he said I would really notice it afterward and I wouldn't like it. Do for an extra 500 I figured he'd know best.
I'm humiliated by the (before) photos. I had no idea it looked so bad! But I'll share them since every post I've read has made so much difference with pics.
My surgery was great - no real pain. I had a cg for 4 days until the zipper broke and went in for a replacement which ended up WAY too small but I didn't fully realize that until the 6th night. I had to remove it and wore a girdle with my foam padding until my appt on the Tuesday. It was a holiday weekend so there wasn't much I could do. I was freaking out though.
Anywho it's 9 days today and I'm not seeing fab results like I thought I would. The first day I did but now I'm hoping it's swelling. He only got out 700cc's which isn't very much based on the other posts so I'm worried. He swore to me he "got it all and didn't think he'd even get this much". Hmmm
I saw a diff on day 8 which is interesting then I feel I reverted back. I'm still wearing the spanx type with foam. Foam can be removed tomorrow. So if anyone has had the same experience please let me know. I'm down right now, afraid this is "it". I have no patience (lol obviously) but still worried. This was a lot of money and I couldn't afford to do the "waist" but doc said due to my athletic shape there might not be much of a diff if he did it. I'm beginning to wonder.
All I want is to wear a two piece. The rest of my bod I can deal with. I run and work out so I'm pretty toned (for me).
The staff was great and I LOVED the doc. Just not sure if my body is going to respond for me. I'm totally swollen, started massage, put arnica gel on and take the tablets. I have been walking 3 miles/day since day 4 post op. Could I be gaining weight?! lol
Posting day 8 which was my best day so far. I'm on day 9.
Happy to answer any questions. God knows I've done my share of stalking the site!

Day 11
Hi there - quick update. In still swollen and large lumps which I'm massaging out. I must retain fluid pretty easily. I don't see a big change since last pic but I can say that I notice a diff in my clothes and when I lie down. :-) I'm hopeful this is just normal swelling.
I still have pain. Especially when I sit in the same spot for a while. It feels like a bad sunburn at this point so not terrible.
Thanks for reading. :-)

Day 12 pic
I'm noticing the front view seems to look better. I'm still swollen and very hard lumps. Massaging and arnica on a regular basis. Pain is there - more of a burning feeling. And I'm hot in that area all night sleeping.
