If I could give Dr. Kasden and the ladies in his office 1 million stars, I would. But the fact remains that I am limited, so 5 stars it is. From the moment you step foot in the office you are greeted with with warm smiling faces. The wait time is non existent as the staff are great about scheduling and keeping close to appointment times. As I mentioned before, the entire staff is friendly however they are also extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. No matter whether I had a question prior to sx or was uncertain about something during my recovery Dr. Kasden and his entire staff made sure my concerns were addressed, even after hours or on the weekend. As far as my surgery, results and the Dr's technique I would have to rate it a 5 as well. He had been performing this surgery for more than 20 yrs and it shows in his work. When he tells you something about your body, he is honest and you can trust he knows what he is talking about. Other Dr's advised me to lose weight before my surgery, and told me that really nothing could be done at the time because of my visceral fat. But, Dr. Kasden examined me and gave me hope. He described how the procedure would remedy that area of visceral fat above my belly button without lipo. And he was right. I now have the shape I want at the weight I was and I am 100% satisfied with the result. In fact I couldn't be any more happy! Thanks Dr. Kasden!

Looking good! Great u kept the swelling down.
Beautiful Go Girl! Even with the 20lbs gain your body is so curvy and pretty! My goal for my surgery is to hit the 170's hopefully I'll make it. Currently I'm at 192 and trying hard to drop these extra pounds!
Love your results:)
Thanks for being completely honest because I had two days of eating bad I was hoping that I didn't gain the weight back no one ever really says whether it goes to your stomach or not and all I hear is of people working out and eating healthy

5 months post op

So, I haven't been successful with losing weight because I stopped working out with the trainer. In fact I've gained some weight since my initial post op weight of 170. I'm back up to 185, but i look great. I'm not sure how but the results of the tummy tuck make me look good no matter what the # on the scale says.

U look good!!!! Great transformation!
Wow you look great! Did he do any lipo with your tummy tuck?
Thanks. He did some lipo on the sides. However, I want to go back and get some lipo done to my back and flanks.

Boot camp

So I started working out with a fitness trainer 2 weeks ago to help remove syne of the weight u recently gained. In June I had several traumatic events that caused me to have travel, eat unhealthy and and gain weight. (Stress eating). As a result I gained back weight to equal my pre surgery weight. But the weird thing I noticed was that the weight wasn't going to my abs. So I didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until I stepped on the scale that I noticed the gain. I pin pointed the gain to my thighs, butt and back. All were areas that helped enhance the appearance of my new found curves. So, after 2 weeks I'm happy to say that I'm losing again. 11 lbs so far. Whoo hoo!
