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.

Upper Abdomen sticks out; not flat.
I had a standard No Drain Tummy Tuck on July 29, 2016. My body has had over three months of healing time. The lower and upper area where the cut was is just a little bit sore. I feel that my upper abdomen (a little above the belly button) looks the same as before I had the surgery. It also feels the same as it was before surgery. But my lower abdomen has flattened out nicely and the scar looks great. But my upper abdomen isn’t matching the flatness.
I was told it was still swollen, but it feels and looks the same as before the surgery. You can even tell the left side of the tummy and flanks is bigger than the right.
My understanding is when you get a standard Tummy Tuck, they also do the upper abdomen area so it will match. I’m just trying to get an opinion on it because it looks like nothing really happened to the upper half of my abdomen.
What do you think about my upper abdomen? How would I go about fixing it if I need to? Will just tickle lipo work for this if needed?
Thank you so much.

Hello 8 week update
So everything is going well still. I started road cycling last week which was nice on the feet. I wear a neoprene waist wrap during workouts to keep vibrations to a minimum.
Just a couple things I'm worried about. this bump that is circled green and the tiny hole that's circled orange.

Provider Review
I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Nachbar and staff. They seemed to really understand what my concerns were and answered all my questions. They kept me up-to-date with my appointments and sent reminders. They were really helpful and answered all of my questions over the phone since the consultation.
