I know it's been a long time... I've been caught up with living my life, but wanted to come back and update my review with my "final" results and thoughts.

First of all, Dr. B was great and his level of care pre op and post op was second to none. I highly recommend him if you are considering have a tummy tuck. He delivered exactly what he promised.

Personally, I have zero regrets is have the procedures done. I feel great in my skin and very blessed to look the way I do after three children. I no longer look in the mirror holding my skin wondering what I'd look like if I could have skin removal surgery. I've lost about 10 more pounds through diet and exercise and my results are not hidden behind extra skin.

I can not express how freeing it is to be able to be happy in the skin you live in. If you live in the SF Bay Area and are considering surgery, Dr. Behmand will not disappoint you.

Here are a couple underwear shots as well as my new bathing suit.

Everything has healed nicely. I ended up with my back incision opening when I was closing my car door at 2 weeks. It took about a month and a half to fully heal. My swelling is now minimal. My energy levels are back to normal. My doctor removed 3 pounds of skin total and transferred about 790 cc of fat to retain volume in my butt. I'm very happy with the results as I wasn't striving for a Kim K butt. My goal was to keep a shapely rear post LBL.

Here are some picture I took last Saturday morning in the mirror so you all can see my progress. My husband isn't comfortable taking photos for the Internet so this is the best I can do.

Overall, I think my surgery was a HUGE success. My stomach is flat. My love handles have been removed. My butt has been lifted and resembles a 22 year old, not a 36 year old woman with 3 children that once weighed over 210 pounds.

Thank you. As for my mom, she forgot about me and that hurt. She's apologized though and life is too short to hold grudges, so I've let it go and have peace with her again.

I just checked out your review. Almost time! Good luck and you were very wise to book sx in the fall vs summer. It will be much more comfortable to heal.

I tried on an OLD bikini today and took pics. The entire incision hid easily under it which made me quite happy. I'm also standing straight up now too. I will write a full update tomorrow, but wanted to get this up here today. I'm feeling pretty good now and I'm still taking it easy. My incision isn't fully healed yet and that keeps me in check. I do not want problems with healing at all.

I had a Lower Body Lift. If you scroll up to my entry titled "Decisions" and read that and the two after, I talked about it and explained why I decided to go the route I did.
