Want a Tummy Tuck

Hi D.,
I am a plastic surgeon in Mountain View (and a mom.) We do lots of tummy tucks on moms who notice that their bellies just don't ever seem to go back to normal after having babies, even with lots of sit-ups. This is because the muscles of your abdomen and your skin get stretched during pregnancy. Tummy tuck surgery can restore the tone to your abdomen. Email me if you have any other questions and best of luck.

Hi,
I have looked into this recently also! For both the cost was about the same as everyone was saying, the one thing people fail to mention is how difficult it can be to get financed for the procedure. The banks says unless your credit is close to amazing getting small loans are close to impossible rite now! so I got my hopes all up and we are trying to figure out what else we could do! times are tough these days and it's a voluntary procedure so hopefully everything will work out for you guys! Did anyone else have this issue???

I like to get some info myself about a tummy tuck or something of a partial. I just have stretched skin from the 9 children i had.

Hi D., I have had 4 babies and had a tummy tuck/Breast Augmentation 6 months ago.Let me tell you ,I couldn't be happier! I made sure after my baby who is now one that I would try to lose most of my baby weight that way I could be at a healthy weight for my surgery.Dr.Melody Lynd did my surgery ,she is in Campbell on Hamilton Ave. She is wonderful,and so easy to talk to.And might I add that she got rid of my stretch marks and my stomach is so firm.Good luck :)

Hi D....
I'm a mom of three and after number 3 I thought the extra skin would never disappear! However, I have found that by giving my body what it needs nutritionally, my stomach looks great - I walk a few times a day and try to have a semi-active weekend; like work around the yard or play with the kids. There is a goof-proog program I am now using to help me get the food/nutrition it needs. If you are interested, I can share that with you.

Hi D.,

I notice the plastic surgeon didn't mention anything about price $$$ or if regular insurance covers this kind of procedure (I don't think it does). Since you and she are in the same city maybe you could get a free consultation and let us know what kind of $$ we are talking about here.

Blessings.....

I did and all I can say is: Not an ounce of regret!

But word of caution: research your PA and do not rush. Recovery wasnt as bad as I expected, but I learned alot along the way. Message me for specifics if you're still interested. Best of Luck! :)

I had one two years ago (almost) and it was fantastic. It is less hard to recover than from a C-section. It's very hard for about 3 days then better and better. You need about 3 weeks to resume a sort of normal schedule and about a month to really be normal.

My cost was about $9,000. I saw Dr. Ronald Iverson in Pleasanton. He has lots of experience.

Good luck. I gained weight, unfortunately, but am still VERY glad I did it.

I would love to hear information on this topic too..I am planning on getting pregnant soon which will be my last child and after that I would LOVE to get a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck.
Please let me know if you hear any reccomendations for surgeons.
I know 4 people who have had procedures done by Dr. Shah in Bakersfeild and he does amazing work..I even had a consult from him.
