6 Weeks After My Tummy Tuck- More inches lost
WORTH IT$15,398
am continuing to lose inches. I'm not sure how many but my previous size 14 jeans are now too big. I am looking forward to more loss of inches in the future. I have no regrets to having my surgery. Dr. Reisen is the best!!! I have already scheduled another appointment to have liposuction done in my arms.

15 pounds removed from Tummy tuck procedure. Flanks lipo and bilateral chest lipo
My surgery was done on 01/04/16. I had finally had enough of the embarrassing fat on my upper back and my HUGE belly roll. My husband literally had to lift up the roll for any night action. I was so disgusted with myself each and every time. I scheduled my consultation with Star Plastic Surgery and I am so glad I did. The office is so professional and all of the ladies seem to understand exactly what I was going through. Dr. Reisen said he would be aggressive with my tummy tuck and get my stomach as flat as possible Yay! but I would need to help him with my diet and exercise once I am healed. The doctor removed 15 pounds of fat just from my stomach area. Wow. The healing process has been difficult but well worth it. I still show swelling and the back pain is horrible but I am enduring. I rented a bed for the first month of my procedure and that was the best thing I could have done. The first 2 weeks I felt so many emotions and had several panic attacks. So much pain... As each week passes, the pain eases up some but is still there. As my doctor suggested, I wear the garment purchased from their office along with a spanx to help with swelling. I still have a long way to go but I am following all of my doctor's orders. I cannot work out yet but I am watching my diet closely. Looking forward to a smaller stomach with no swelling or back pain...

I have struggled with my weight for years especially my stomach area.
I listened to others for a while who thought having a tummy tuck was like cheating instead of doing the hard work of working out. My stomach area was a problem areas that I could not lose.
I am so happy I followed through with the procedures. Yes painful but well worth it!
