I'm still a bit swollen especially in the area that was reopened and vacuumed out. It def swells way worse. I'm extremely happy with my results. My photos show before and after, morning shot, and two hours into the day when I swell so bad still

I will be using Dr. Kirbo for a breast aug and tummy tuck in 3 weeks. I can't find a great deal about him. I was wondering if your over-all experience with him was worthwhile. I am very nervous and excited but my biggest concern is your opinion of him and his staff. Thanks for considering my question.

I am wondering why the comment below your question about Dr Kirbo looks like it was written by Dr Kirbo himself? Of course he would not be masquerading as a patient, but I don't get how the patient has his heading??? Kind of weird. I'm looking forward to reading about your surgery.

Dr. Ben Kirbo will be my PS. I will be going to my pre-op appointment in two days, and my surgery is scheduled for the 26, (14 days!!!) . I can't tell you how happy I am to see a recent and positive review for him. Please let me know how you are doing and any pointers. I'll be getting a mommy make over. TT & BA

Well I've been back at work this week. I have a sit down job but it feels like my tummy is going to bust open with pressure at times. Sitting up in that position for that long is still painful but reclining is oh so nice! Last Friday my ps reopened part of my incision on the left side and vacuumed the swollen area and restitched my drain that tore through. Needless to say it was pretty painful but necessary. It still burns to try to lay in the bed especially the new stitching area. I have stated draining some yellow fluid I was told was a good sign and its decreased alot today. Prayerfully Friday (25 days po) this drain will be gone. I never realized how intense and life altering this surgery would be. I'm no where nest feeling normal and I so badly want to lay in bed snuggling with my husband. I'm excited to know what healing tomorrow will bring as I do get stronger day by day and before you know it life will return to normal! Any healing advice is welcomed especially with the pressure and pain sitting upright so long at a desk
