Tummy tuck was worth it! I was once almost 300 pounds & left with extra skin

ORIGINAL POST

Worth It.

WORTH IT
I cannot recommend Dr. Ku highly enough. I was once almost 300 pounds, and while I lost well over half that weight through life changes, diet, and exercise, I was still left with a lot of extra skin. It made my life miserable. It determined what I could wear, how I could stand in photos, and so much more. Dr. Ku did my arms first (will post separate review for this later), and I was so blown away by what a life-changing difference it was that I decided it would be absolutely worth it to go back for the tummy tuck. He is skilled, knowledgeable, patient, personable, and professional, and you could tell this is not only his job- but his passion. Everyone in his office is just the sweetest, kindest people and can be such a comfort through every step of this journey. Dr. Ku truly cares about his patients and walks them through the process from start to finish. I would do this all over again without question.

Hi, you look fantastic. I hope your recovery is going well. I think I look like your before photos and I’m gong for tummy tuck at the end of July. My surgeon has said I don’t need lipo on my flanks which I’m a bit concerned about as I feel I do. I will be getting muscles tightened and access skin removed. Just wondering what you got done if that’s ok.

Sure! I only got an extended tummy tuck, and mons lift. Dr. Ku was fantastic in addressing areas I asked about possibly needing lipo on, and he was right. He actually excised fat out of some areas but I never needed lipo which I was so happy about. Just make sure you cover all those questions and possible options thoroughly with your surgeon.

Thank you. I had 2 meetings with him already. I’ll not get to see him again until the day of the surgery. I have to put my hope in him that he and i understand what can be done. I only discussed a mons lift with him on the telephone. Not sure if this is something he can add in on the day.

I never heard the term ‘excised fat’ before. Interesting.

Looks great. I had mine in December with muscle repair. Recovery takes a bit. Lots of rest in first few weeks but so worth it.
