50 Terrific Tummy Tuck with Lipo

WORTH IT$11,000

I was so tierd fighting the battle with the flab hanging over my skinny jeans, I always had to wear 'pregnant' blousey tops. My sister, 5 years younger, had a tummy tuck last summer and I was so inspired, it was my turn. Dr James Hoffman spent time explaining and answering questions, showing and explaining pictures and helping me decide the next step. I had a full tummy tuck, lipo around the ack, bra area. Amazing results! Instantly flat tummy. Firm, beautiful. No fat hanging under my bra. I can wear fitted tops, no flab over my pants. Went from a size 12 the day of surgury to a size 8 pants a few short months later after healing and swelling went down. I went in at 162 pounds now I am 152. The 10 pounds is the weight of the skin and fat removed. Bonus is my back pain from a degenerated disc has eased up considerably. I think it is due to the tightening of my abs and loss of all that extra flab. I look fabulous. It was so very worth it! I told Dr James that I would never wear a bikini before surgury. Guess what? I bought one for this summer!

Dr Hoffman really took the time to explain his education, tools he uses, how much he cares about your results. He discusses in detail the before and after pictures so you understand what the tummy tuck does vs lipo. He doesn't use a resident to stitch you up, he does everything from beginning to end. He called my husband the night after surgery for any questions, and we had some. His staff is equally as caring. Before surgery I told him to make me beautiful again. He said I am already beautiful and he will help give me back the hourglass figure I once had and deserve. I can't wait to see the results in 3-6 months!

Show us a pic of you dressed in your skinny jeans. I am looking forward to having that experience too... (18 more days for me!! Yikes!) I have chronic back pain and was hearing a few women say the muscle repair has helped with that. I am hoping that will be my reality!!! Good for you for buying a bikini, rock it!!!

Feeling good after 6 weeks. 10 pounds down after the day of surgery. Removed 3 liters of fat from lipo on flanks, upper an and back. Will begin using silicone strips on the incision this week. Tummy is flat, still tight. Back is smooth, fat bulges eliminated.
