WORTH IT
Hi! Just want to give background about my body & habits before I dive into my review & results.
I’m a 36 mother of 2. I’ve always been a tiny person. Before I had my first child, I weighed 95 pounds (I’m 4’11”). With my first pregnancy, I gained almost double my weight. As I reached 8 cm, I had to have an emergency C-section. As you can imagine, that left me with lots of stretch marks, loose skin, and also a pooch in my mid section due to the C-section scar.
I’ve been working out for about 10 years now. I work out about 6 days a week. I’m an avid runner and hiker. I like to lift weights. I’m a pretty healthier eater. I try my best to eat lots of meats & veggies, and try to stay away from fast food or fried foods.
I went in to see Dr. Chung for a consultation and just knew at point that I would select her as my doctor. She is sweet and friendly, very down to earth. She is super informative. I didn’t feel pressured at all. I told her exactly what I wanted, and she told me the truth about what I would be able to achieve with surgery. There was no BS in our meeting, which I appreciated.
I went in for my surgery on 9/22/21. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, and flank lipo. Everything went great! I remember talking to the anesthesiologist one minute, and then waking up from surgery the next. My SO picked me up and we went home.
Recovery was great! Dr. Chung’s team was great (super sweet team). I had all my meds, and a detailed after care plan. I was up and walking on day 2. Day 3 was probably the most painful. By the 3rd week, i was finally able to stand straight.
I was able to resume light workouts on week 8. Fast forward to 11/25/21 (gym pic). This is me without doing any sort of abs workouts. I was finally able to start ab workouts again on my 3 month mark. I LOVE my tummy tuck! I love that I can workout at the gym and not be self conscious about my loose skin. I love that I can wear crop tops now. I love that I went down one Jean size from just removal of my skin.
Hope my story helps those we are choosing to have a tummy tuck with Dr. Chung!
