So Worth It!

WORTH IT$16,000
Dr Markarian was incredible! He explained everything in detail and set realistic expectations, which exceeded what I was hoping for! He is truly an artist!

I had twins and developed an umbilical hernia and bad stretch marks. I was petrified if my shirt lifted just a tad because I didn’t want anyone to see. Now I can wear crop tops!

The surgery itself is pretty intense, you can’t stand straight for 10 days so I would recommend 2 weeks off work. After a week you feel much much better. It’s similar to a c section but a bit more intense and longer recovery because your belly is numb for 6 weeks. Also consider getting lots of loose clothing for the incision. For me the timing was perfect because I stay home with the kids and they all started school full time so I could wear sweat pants. If you’re a working professional you might want to consider this. Also I think with young kids it would be really hard because they wouldn’t understand why you can’t pick them up and you really can’t for 8 weeks.

Tummy tuck

Dr markarian performed the tummy tuck and you can pair it with a general surgeon to repair the umbilical hernia which I was so excited to learn. Because a general surgeon will just fix the hernia but they won’t make it pretty! Dr markarian did an incredible job.
