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 months post op
Its been awhile since I've been on here. Decided I needed to do an update. Its been 3 months since I had my surgery. I'm still swelling, but also seeing changes. I've been working out as well. Still not where I want to be but I'm getting there!
Dr visit
Had my 6 week po today and he said at this point I can do whatever I want...swim, exercise, lift weights.yay!!!! He did say I was still swollen and that I will get flatter and the the scar will drop lower in time. I asked why he went so far around and he said it was because of excess skin and that if he had not I would have had dog ears and the whole procedure would not have been worth it, I've seen those and no I wouldn't want those! I knew all if this but its just nicebto be reassured. I happy enough with that answer. I have to start massaging my scar and can use scar cream, any recommendations and good but inexpensive?
6ish week po
Little over 6 weeks po now and I am still swollen or at least I better be lol. I do like my results so far, but I am no where near as flash as I think I should be. My 6 week po is Wednesday so hopefully he will put my mind at ease with that and with a few other things. The one thing I am most happy with is my bellybutton. It is a little small like I can't hardly put my pinky in it but I contribute that to the swelling. Other than that it looks like a real bellybutton and that that's where its always been.
Provider Review
Dr Hawes
Dr Hawes is an excellent surgeon. He is easy to work with and actually listens and answer your questions without feeling like you're being rushed. He also has great bedside manner. He also did my breast aug back in 2013.He is just a great DR all around!!
