Tummy Tuck in Arizona! Great Experience, So Far So Good

Dr. Simmonds is very straight forward. No bells or whistles haha. From consultation to surgery he will tell you what he can and cannot do, which I appreciate. You always want a doctor to be honest and realistic. Another patient wrote that he does not do alot of hand holding which I would agree with. However I am also in medicine and I at times am the same way with my patients, as being straight forward and knowledgeable is more important than babying someone in my opinion. He was very professional from the start and answered all of my questions. The anesthesiologist was beyond awesome. She is a jewel!!!! They use deep sedation which means you are not intubated. I prefer this. He also does local to help with the pain. I didn't use any other narcotics after my surgery. I did not need them. I am post op day one and walking fine, slightly hunched. One thing that I found hilarious is at the end of the initial consultation Dr. Simmonds was basically like "you going to do this or not." Not in those exact words but more or less. He sat right there. I actually LOVED that. I still chuckle. He is so straightforward which reminds me of myself. It actually pushed me to book on spot. Some people may find this abrasive, but I found it refreshing. No muss, no fuss, let's get it done. My stomach looks good. Very swollen. I want to add that he is board certified and has done this for a really long time. He does really pretty breasts too from pictures I have seen. I don't intend on having my breasts done (already had them done years ago) but just something I noticed from his pictures. I will post pics in a few days. OH! Forgot to mention.... he gave me a new vagina (as a result of the tuck I guess). That was the 1st thing I noticed (Its lovely and tight). He was a special right now 4999 starting price for tummy tucks. I was happy with what I paid. Pay cash! He gives a discount. I brought cash, not debit card, cash! Make sure you do.

These pics are from day 7 and 12 po. If u want ur waist very snatched like lipo 360 this ain’t it. There is a limit on how much you can lipo with a tt. But I didn’t want hanging skin. I prefer tummy tuck. My waist will narrow with time. I’m still swollen. Be careful with lipo 360 if u have had kids. First it looks good then it’ll sag. This is why for my I knew better. All things to consider but choose what’s best for you.

I wanted to add this for whoever it may help. Before my TT my body shape was rectangle. With stretch pants holding me in I looked cute (even with my tummy-I just had a baby several months ago), I am short barely 5'4. I had more of a boy shape which annoyed me but I have big thighs which helped. Now I just make the cut off for a spoon shape or hour glass. So in bra I wear 38 b. My actual measurements now swollen only 13 days post op are 41-36- 44. Without swelling my waist is even smaller especially after compressing overnight etc. Ill say at the end it will prob be 2-3 inches smaller once swelling goes away in several months.
