I Had an Amazing Abdominoplasty with Dr Phan, I LOVE the Results!

WORTH IT
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Phan and his amazing staff recently when I went ahead with my Abdominoplasty procedure. After having 3 kids, my abdominal region had reduced elasticity of the skin and my core muscles separated (Diastasis Recti) making it hard to continue doing the sports I love and feel confident in a bikini!! After multiple treatments for abdominal skin tightening like Accent, ThermiSmooth Radio-Frequency, Venus as well as doing Physical Therapy for my Diastasis Recti, NOTHING seemed to work.I met with Dr Phan and he recommend a Tummy Tuck, Dr. Phan was patient with my process and listened to my concerns. His informative staff provided me with the support I needed to guide this decision. I was hesitant at first…. being athletic and a therapist myself, I prefer a natural looking physique. But I could not be more HAPPY with the results of this aesthetic artistry! Dr Phan did EXACTLY what I wanted, a natural looking tummy tuck, not to tight, not to loose, PERFECT! If you think he is not listening to you, He IS :)And you need to trust the process, he is such an amazing surgeon, a true artist. I once again have strength in my center and regained confidence in my appearance. The Office is super clean and the OR view of Honolulu is spectacular. His office manager/coordinator Amber is so delightful to work with, super sweet and so patient. The best part of it all is that now I can surf and feel strong with my new abs! It’s amazing to finally reach my fitness goal, plus I can be in a bikini ;) Thank you so much Dr Phan, you're the BEST!

You look amazing! Congratulations! Did you have a mini tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck? You didn't have a ton of loose skin and I don't see a scar which is great! I've had two children and similarly not a ton of skin so I'm worried about scar placement. Also, did you have drains or was this drainless?
Aloha, I was worry about the scar myself too, I had 2 c sections also. The scar is ok, still healing (6 months post op) and with time it will fade more and more...Compare to my previous abdomen I am totally happy to have a tight tummy and a longer scar, its soooo with it! I am using great products for scars and its helping. I had drains, yes, and also pain pump for the first 3 days this helped a lot for pain and to not have to take narcotics :) Hope this helps with your decision.
If you decide to go for a Full Tummy tuck like me I can give you the post op Therapy and products I use that helped so much with my healing :)
I would love it if you would share! Thank you!
That is the most natural looking belly button I've ever seen on a TT review. Also as you said not too tight! Can you please post a photo of your scar. I would fly to Hawaii for your results, as my before is similar to yours. Congrats & Enjoy!!
Aloha, Thank you! I am sooo happy with my decision! Yes I will post some scar pictures later today for you. I can give you a list of products to use post op to help with your healing, I am an aesthetician and I am all about skin care therapy :)
What a great result ! And the scar isn't very visible ! Be proud and happy of reaching your fitness goal and these results ! Wow!
Thank you :)
I forgot to ask, did you have lipo as well?
