Highly recommend - my surgery expectations were exceeded

At first impression, the call to the office for consult was very welcoming.

The consult also was very comfortable and easy. The office staff, the nurses, and Dr. K are all very smooth personalities and are very pleasant to talk to. Scheduling was also very convenient. There were no “hoops” to jump through. My main concern was extra skin and at no time was I bothered to purchase more options.

Pre-op, again, was easy. Dr. K goes over the procedure and post op expectations. The nurse, Erika, covered what to expect post-op about incision and even re-visited information Dr.K covered just to verify understanding. I also received at least two forms of written directions and expectations. Overall, I was very happy with education and preparation.

Surgeries happen at a center or the hospital. Mine was at the center. It was very nice and the staff there were all nice and competent. The center is very conveniently located and kind of upscale like a spa. Surgery went well. Recovery has been uneventful. I had no complications at all. I woke up with a binder on and wore that for 6 weeks except for showering.

Follow-up depends on procedure. For me, it was 1 week. Dr. K uses drainless technique but he does insert a drain for 7 days just for surety. Mine drained very little in that time. I have not had the lower body swelling I was concerned about with the traditional tummy tuck. I also had follow ups at 2 weeks and 6 weeks. I had complete access to office if needed for information. I’ve attached photos from before and at 6 week follow up. I’m very happy with incision, placement, and belly button. My surgery expectations were exceeded.

I was released at my 3 month checkup and happy to report an uneventful healing phase. Dr K was very kind and said even though he was releasing me to call with any concerns. I’ll definitely use him again for anything I ever need. His nurse gave me an adorable hat and t-shirt on the way out.

I continue to be very happy with my results at 6 months post op. I am starting to show muscle definition and a waiste which I’ve never had. Wound healing is still uneventful with no problems post op.
