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.

Hi sisters
I'm just over 14 weeks post op and looking at my old pics... Whilst I am undeniably far from the body I had before, and I am grateful for that and the care I had from my surgeon, I have my final consult with my doctor and I'm going to ask what options I have to get less of the pooch... It's my first face to face in a long time and I'm just going to be honest, I think this is more than swelling, that is a pooch...
Perhaps some lipo is needed, perhaps it'll settle with time, it's only 3 months p/o. I am exercising regularly so can only imagine that the results will improve (although no ab work yet, only stationary cycling, treadmill and elliptical machine).
For those who have not read my review before, I am a mother of 4, the last 2 children was a multiple birth. I had muscle repair and removal of excess skin, no lipo...
Final comments in preparation for my consultation? I'd appreciate some thoughts?
Hugs

I've been avoiding updating because I envy other people's results
Hi ladies
Tomorrow its be 9 weeks ago that I went under. I've been avoiding doing an update because my results isn't as amazing as everyone else's. I am over the moon that my flap is gone, clothes are looking much better on me and I am so grateful that I recovered without incident but I expected more...
I think the PS pulled up my pubic area too high and therefore my incision looks too high... I think so because he used the same incision line used for my csection - and it wasn't that high - so he must have pulled the pubic area up too high. My left side its definitely too high and too long! At my post op visits I was more focused on wound healing so I wasn't focused on how the scar looks... Also, not sure if I should have had lipo - he had advised that I had visceral fat (fat between the organs) and that you can only correct through diet and exercise... but I wanted a bit more definition at the waist...
I've see some ladies on this site looked bigger than me (no offence to anyone) but seemed to get a better result
And I know i must be patient, it's early days, but I don't foresee its going to improve. The gap between my incision and my new bb is too small...
My next appointment is 20th December. I don't know - should I ask to see him sooner, should I just be patient - it may well look better by then.
I think I need a revision? Although I'm not sure that I'd want to go through this again and I don't know how he can fix this
What do you guys think?

9 days p/o with pics
I've loaded some pics between dressing changes - 9 days post op. Didn't realise how high my cut sits on my hips... so boy shorts panties for me I suppose...
What do you guys think? Am I seeing a bit of definition below the ribs, or am I imagining?

Provider Review
Dr Struwig
He was referred to be by my GP. We hit it off straight away. He is funny but gave good overview of what the procedure will entail. My pre op visit was on 15 August and I'm due to go under on 6 September. I thought the quotation would be for much more, but I was pleasantly surprised. He also has a great office of efficient staff members who respond within record time and are always helpful.
