After 15 years of considering a tummy tuck, I mustered up the courage to do it. I have always been physically active, but my stomach always looked 3-4 months pregnant. I felt attractive and good in my skin, but this was really about fitting better in my clothes. Met Dr. Maloney and he came across direct and confident. I was eventually ready to commit however, I had more questions then the average patient. The newly constructed belly button was one of them that weighed on my decision. I let go, stopped thinking about all the what ifs, and I did it!! A week out of surgery and damn, I am impressed with the results. I hugged Dr. Maloney and I told him that a kiss of appreciation is coming his way. The entire staff is kind, compassionate, positive, and available. I told Dr. Maloney that this is a one shot elective surgery and I am done. Well... It is kind of like a candy store as he stated.Should I get anything else done, he is THE PLASTIC SURGEON, THE MAN I trust with my body, my temple. Thank you.

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

Oh good that's what I was going to ask! I particularly would like to see your belly button if possible, that's so important. I've met Dr Maloney, he's so nice and so is his staff, thanks!

The pic is coming.... promise. My husband will be doing the uploading. It actually looks the most healed out of my entire procedure and I am almost two weeks post this Friday. Healing is slow ad a bit uncomfortable since I made a conscious choice to stop the pain meds due to constioation. Definitely tolerable with advil and valium!

What all did you have done ?

Today I met with Dr. Maloney to see if I could get my left drain out. Not yet. That's ok. I like a conservative Dr.! He thoroughly examined me and as I have already mentioned, it all looks well. I had questions and he answered them all with that sense of knowledge and experience. We spoke more about comfort. There were no real concerns to speak of. No rushing, just conversing. My standards are high, very high and I like my Drs. to be present and attentive. Still so utterly impressed with Dr. Maloney and his team!

What areas did you get lipo?

Did you have your thighs lipo'd as well?
April 2, 2016
Only my upper inner thighs and around the inner part of my knees.

They look great!

Getting there. Lots of gentle massage with arnica gel. Dr. Maloney says we look at your areas of lipo at the 3 month mark.
