WORTH IT$8,700

Very excited to FINALLY get all this loose skin removed! After 120lbs of weight lost and two C-sections, I am ready to not be reminded of the weight I used to be every time I look in the mirror. I currently have to wear multiple compression garments during my high impact workouts, really looking forward to just wearing a shirt!

Wishing you well on your tummy tuck! Go in with a positive attitude and you will do well. Every day you will feel a little bit better. I am nearly 4 weeks post op, can't believe that it's flown by! I would say I'm pretty much back to normal apart from exercising as I have to keep reminding myself it was major surgery and I have a 19 inch scar. Good luck! Xxxx

Thank you so much! Yes not exercising will be the hardest...I teach a dance/plyometric class and have someone covering for 8 weeks. Hope that is enough :) Can't wait, glad it is flying by for you! Your 23 days post op pics look GREAT!

I have been wanting this surgery done for 2 years now after having kids I have so much loose hanging skin I just want to be able to feel comfortable in a bathing suit again;( if you don't mind me asking how much it ended up costing and how you like your results?

Hi! My total cost was $8,700 - extended tummy tuck, goes around the side of my hips, muscle repair, and that includes everything (pre and post op appts, surgery center, binder). I got a personal loan through my credit union. LOVING my results! It is a TOUGH recovery, wow, but so so worth it. Good luck to you!
