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.

3 year anniversary photos

I recently went to see my surgeon for my 3 year check up and the office was really surprised to see not only was I maintaining but I had lost almost 50lbs. So my before and after photos are pretty dramatic (I joked with the surgeon that I don't know what else I have to do to get on his website - I'm still not on it!).
I have been working out 6 days/week (spin, weights, yoga), eating better and trying to take care of myself better overall. I'm pretty happy with the results! I now buy pants and jeans in a size 2 and I am loving how clothes look on me and how I look naked. My scar doesn't bother me much and I've considered having other work done but for now I'm THRILLED!

Updated photos

Just thought I’d add some new photos. I’m on a workout plan (weights, spin & yoga 2xs/week) and getting ready for summer! Hope everyone is feeling good and taking care of themselves.

Forgot the 'after' photos!

I forgot to post the 'after' photos of my revision photos.
One correction - I meant to say the repair was about 2.5 cm NOT inches! You can see why I didn't think it was a huge deal, as it was such a small bit of the scar.

For a variety of reasons I spent eleven long years waiting to get a tummy tuck. After such anticipation I can honestly say that I'm completely thrilled with my results from Dr. Bolitho. I met with several doctors before selecting a plastic surgeon and I felt confident in Dr. Bolitho’s qualifications (board certified in four countries? I love an overachiever!) and also in his communication style and bedside manner, which completely put me at ease. Once I met him, the decision was made. I had no anxiety about my choice in surgeons. He understood the results I hoped to achieve; he managed my expectations professionally and never over promised what I could expect from surgery. We discussed a variety of options and together determined the best plan for my body and for how I wanted to look. My surgical experience was outstanding and practically stress free. The entire team was a pleasure to work with, from front office to post op, and I even looked forward to seeing them again for follow up appointments. My results were far beyond what I would have been 'pleased' with and even many months later, I am still astounded at my reflection in the mirror. My body didn’t look this good before I had kids! Every day I appreciate what a gift Dr. Bolitho has given me. I would send my best friend to Dr. Bolitho. I would send my Mother to Dr. Bolitho. If I want anything else done in the future I would go back to him again myself. Many board certified plastic surgeons are great doctors, not all are great artists. I feel Dr. Bolitho is the latter. He is truly gifted and I encourage you to meet with him and see for yourself what a wonderful physician he is.
