Finally Taking the Plunge!

Amazing!!! Just simply amazing! From before the tt surgery to after, I had nothing but 100% care, experience, and quality doctor/patient visits with Dr. Shatkin! I have the utmost respect for Dr. Shatkin! My husband and I just love our visits with him. I have even decided today to have a little further "tweaking" done with him. ;) Now I cannot WAIT until January! If anyone ever has reservations about going forward with a procedure, I fully recommend you see Dr. Shatkin. His knowledge and experience will ease any of your concerns. All the staff is so pleasant to be around and make you feel right at home. The staff is also very knowledgeable. I stand by his practice! My husband says, he is an artist with amazing work who really takes pride in your results and helping you GET the best results!!!

Met with the good doctor today and I am sooooo happy with my results! I am overjoyed! I have never felt this great about myself in my entire life. I decided to get a little lipo and a BBL to fix an issue on my butt from a severe fall about 12 years ago. I have a lump the size of a baseball that never went away so I talked with my surgeon and I decided to get a little fat from my back and lower/upper belly that was left over from the tummy tuck and use it to reshape my butt and blend the horrible lump as to disguise it with the rest. He took after pics of me today so here they are! I am so pleased with my results from the tt that I completely trust my surgeon with the rest. He did a phenomenal job and I just can't thank him enough!

So on June 12th I saw my surgeon and he had to drain liquid from my stomach. Quite a bit actually. So most of the extra swelling was for sure liquid. Dr. Shatkin took a lot out that time! It didn’t hurt at all and afterwards I saw my flat tummy again!!!
I went back the following week cause I felt “fluidy” again. He did drain some more but no where near the first time. A lot has happened in my life that has now helped me to have less stress since my surgery. I lost my job but it’s a good thing! I get to relax more at home and it’s helping the healing process a lot. I am now starting to notice the swelling go down! I’m getting more optimistic by the day.
Sorry for the delay in posting as I’ve had to spend the last few weeks getting my affairs in order. At just over 6 weeks post op it’s hard to believe I even had the surgery! If I didn’t have the awesome results to see I wouldn’t even believe I had surgery! I go to see Dr. Shatkin on the 15th so I’ll let you all know how it goes and post new pics then!
